Kissin' and Twistin'
Fabian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I used to kiss my baby
Every time I took her to a dance
But since she started twistin'
Now I never even get a chance
I wanna get some lovin'
But I find I'm in an awful fix
'Cause twistin' and kissin'
Are two things that just don't mix
Can't mix kissin' and twistin'
Can't mix twistin' and kissin'
Yeah yeah my face is red
When I aim for her lips
I kiss the back of her head





She looks like a yogi
As she's twistin' and a spinnin' about

However, he finds himself in an awkward situation because twistin' and kissin' are two things that just don't mix. He tries to kiss her and ends up kissing the back of her head, which leaves him red-faced and embarrassed. The girlfriend is so engrossed in her twistin' and spinnin' that she doesn't even notice her boyfriend's attempts at affection.
