Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Alright!

Only rock 'n' roll

[Verse 2]

If I could stick my pen in my heart

Spill it all over the stage

Would it be enough for your cheating heart?

Would it help to ease the pain?

Ease your pain

[Verse 3]

If I could win you, if I could sing

A love song so divine

Would it be enough for your cheating heart?

Would I break down and cry?

Would I cry?

[Verse 4]

I said, 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

[Verse 5]

Well, I like it

I like it

Yeah, I like it

And can't you see

This old boy been a-lonely?

[Verse 6]

If I could stick my knife in my heart

Suicide right on stage

Would it be enough for your teenage lust?

Would it help to ease your pain?

Ease your brain

[Verse 7]

If I could sing, if I could have been a poet

A love song so divine

Would it be enough for your cheating heart?

Would you get down and cry?

Would you cry?

[Verse 8]

I said, 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

Said I like it

I like it

I like it

And can't you see

This old boy been a-lonely?

[Verse 9]

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

I bet you think that you're the only woman in Toronto

[Verse 10]

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

Well, I know it's only rock 'n' roll but I like it

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

[Verse 11]

Well, I like it

(Only rock 'n' roll)

I like it

(Only rock 'n' roll)

I like it

(Only rock 'n' roll)

I like it

(Only rock 'n' roll)

[Verse 12]

(Only rock 'n' roll)

(Only rock 'n' roll)

I like it

(Only rock 'n' roll)

Yeah, I like it

(Only rock 'n' roll)

[Verse 13]

I like it

(It's only rock 'n' roll)

I like it

(Only rock 'n' roll)

Whoo, I like it

(It's only rock 'n' roll)

Whoo, I like it

(Only rock 'n' roll)

Whoo, I like it

Whoo, I like it

Only rock 'n' roll, I like it

(Only rock 'n' roll but I like it) Whoo!

[Verse 14]

I like it, like it, yes, I do
