Ben Folds Five - Hold That Thought lyrics

rate me

She broke down and cried at the strip mall acupuncturist

While the world went on outside

The Chinese doctor took her arm,

Gazed at the floor, and read her wrist for the secrets in her mind.

'Here's your medicine', she said,

'If you not smile at him, then someone else will.'

You hold that thought, and I'll hold that thought too.

Ah - ooooooooh, oooh, oooh, ooh, ooh.

Ah - ooooooooh, oooh, oooh, ooh, ooh.

I was shown the 36 ways I'm not available

On a simple easy chart

Later on that evening on the beach in Santa Monica

It was a very risky start

Suppose this stupid chart is right

In a year will you still feel the same way?

Oh well, you hold that thought, and I'll hold that thought too!

Ooh, ooooooooh, oooh, oooh, ooh, ooh.

Nah - ooooooooh, oooh, oooh, ooh, ooh.

Ah, Ah.

Did you ever see the film where a man who's given spectacles

That make the world look upside down?

He falls about the place, but in time he somehow readjusts

And when they take the glasses off

The eyes he's always had see sky below him

And he falls again

But you hold that thought, and I'll hold that thought

You hold that thought, and I'll hold that thought

You hold that thought, and I'll hold that thought!

Ah - ooooooooh, oooh, oooh, ooh, ooh.
