It's only rock 'n' roll

If I could stick my pen in my heart

And spill it all over the stage

Would it satisfy, would it slide on by

Would you think the boy is strange? Ain't he strange?

If I could win, if I could sing

A love song so divine

Would it be enough for your cheating heart

If I broke down and cried? If I cried?

I know it's only rock ‘n roll but I like it

I said I know it's only rock ‘n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do

Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it

I said can't you see that this old boy has been a lonely?

If I could stick a knife in my heart

Suicide right on the stage

Would it be enough for your teenage lust

Would it help to ease the pain? Ease your brain?

If I could dig down deep down in my heart

Feelings would flood on the page

Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya

Would ya think the boy's insane? He's insane

I know it's only rock ‘n roll but I like it

I know it's only rock ‘n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do

Oh, well, I like it, yeah, I like it, I like it

I said can't you see that this old boy has been a lonely?

And do ya think that you're the only girl around?

I bet you think you're the only woman in town

Oh, yeah

I know it's only rock ‘n roll but I like it

I know it's only rock ‘n roll but I like it

Oh, I know it's only rock ‘n roll but I like it, oh yeah

I know it's only rock ‘n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do

Oh, well, I like it, I like it, ah, I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it

(Only rock ‘n roll but) I like it…
