Ben Folds Five Hold That Thought
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'll not smile at him then someone else will.
If you'll hold that thought,
Then I'll hold that thought."
Oooh ooooooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oooh ooooooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I was shown the 36 ways I'm not available
On a simple, easy chart.
And 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.
Oooh ooooooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oooh ooooooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Aaaaah Aaaah
Did you ever see the film
Where the man is given spectacles
To make the world look upsidedown?
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.
And you hold that thought and I'll hold that thought.
Oooh ooooooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh.
