Intro chords:

D G A D



D                G             C             G
In most ways I'm content but I have just one lament
D             G          A
Of a love I'm woefully bereft.
      D            G              C               G
And I lay awake at night, knowing something isn't right.
     D               G     A     D
That something is my shell coils left.
    D                G           C        G
For those not in the know of the lives of escargot
D             G           A
this is a rare and unfortunate trait
D                   G                C              G
Cuz the way that our shells twist determines where our bits exist
D             G      A     D
which sadly means I cannot procreate

♫ Chorus:
    G             A                   D
And oooooooh, the twists and turns of love are rough.
    G                A               D
And oooooooh, please tell me I'm not wrong.
G             A                  D
Ooooooh, come slither here we'll be enough
A
I just want to belong!

    D                   G                C               G
But things were looking bright, when the web heard of my plight
D                  G              A
they searched the world wide to find a friend.
  D                   G            C                  G
Until they chanced to see a couple left twisters like me
D                G         A     D
it seemed my lonely days were at an end.

♫ Chorus:
    G             A                   D
And oooooooh, the twists and turns of love are rough.
    G                A               D
And oooooooh, please tell me I'm not wrong.
G             A                  D
Ooooooh, come slither here we'll be enough
A
I just want to belong!

       D         G                       C            G
Then a couple of scientists arranged for us to have a trist.
    D                     G              A
The snails were sent from far across the sea.
          D               G                     C            G
But their plan was not airtight, you see snails are hermaphrodites.
    D                  G      A       D
The pair fell for each other, not for me.

♫ Chorus:
    G             A                   D
And oooooooh, the twists and turns of love are rough.
    G                A               D
And oooooooh, please tell me I'm not wrong.
G             A                  D
Ooooooh, come slither here we'll be enough
A
I just want to belong!

  D                 G                  C                 G
I thought it was my shell that meant I could not love as well
D            G               A
but now I wonder if the fault is mine.
    D                   G            C        G
And that's the twisting tale of this solitary snail
D                G        A        D
I hope that I will find someone, sometime.
