Hold That Thought lyrics - Ben Folds Five

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 life

"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 ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I was shown the thirty-six

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 the stupid chart is right

In a year will you still feel the same way?

Ah, well, you hold that thought

And I'll hold that thought, too

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ah, ah

Did you ever see the film

Where a man is 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

Ah, 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

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh
