[Verse 1: Brook Benton & Dinah Washington]
If you're gonna give me good kisses like that (What?)
Honey, don't you know I'm gonna give 'em right back (So give 'em here)

[Chorus: Brook Benton, Choir]
That's a kissin' good way
(That's a kissin' good way)
Ah, that's a kissin' good way
(That's a kissin' good way)
Haha, now, that's a kissin' good way to mess around and fall in love
(Don't mess around, don't mess around)

[Verse 2: Dinah Washington]
If you're gonna start out by huggin' me tight
Don't mess around, just hug me right

[Chorus: Dinah Washington, Choir, Brook Benton]
'Cause that's a huggin' good way
(That's a huggin' good way)
(Ah, bet your bottom dollar)
Brook, that's a huggin' good way
(That's a huggin' good way)
That's a huggin' good way to mess around and fall in love
(Don't mess around, don't mess around)

[Bridge: Brook Benton, Dinah Washington]
Haha, dig this, you remember this?
You know you called me on the phone (Yeah, baby)
And just because I was alone
Yes, you came around wooin' (Admit it, admit it)
Ah, you better ask somebody if you don't know what you're doin', yeah

Now you kissed me and you rocked my soul
And don't come around knockin' rock and roll

That's a rockin' good way, ah, to mess around and fall in love
(Don't mess around, don't mess around)

[Bridge: Dinah Washington, Brook Benton]
Well, you know you called me on the phone (Mhm)
And just because I was alone (That's why I called you, baby)
You came around a-wooin'
You better ask somebody if you don't know what you're doin'

[Verse 4: Brook Benton]
Mmm, now that you've kissed me and rocked my soul
Don't come around knockin' rock and roll

[Chorus: Brook Benton, Choir, Dinah Washington]
That's a rockin' good way
(That's a rockin' good way) (Ah yeah)
Dinah, that's a rockin' good way (I'm with you, baby)
(That's a rockin' good way)
That's a rockin' good way to mess around and fall in love

You better know it, baby (Haha, I'm diggin' you)
It's a rockin' good way
Hahaha, and I love to rock, how 'bout you?
Ah, and baby, you got what it takes
Haha, ha, ain't that somethin'? You dig the rock?

Stay out of my spot (Oh yeah)
Alright
Oh yeah, I like the spot, don't you know?
Alright (Alright)
You got it, man
