Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh, yeah
Come on
[Verse 1]
First time I heard the music, I thought it was my own
I could feel it in my heartbeat, I could feel it in my bones
My momma thinks I'm crazy, dad says I'm insane
I got this boogie woogie fever burning in my veins
They took me to doctor, but it's too late for me
They dragged me to a preacher they saw on their TV
Who said that, "For a small donation, your lost soul would be saved"
I said that, "I don't think so, preacher, I'll come back another day"
[PreChorus]
All that I want is to be a Rolling Stone
They don't understand what we all know
[Chorus]
It feels so good, it ought to be illegal
I got my vaccination from a phonograph needle
I'll never grow up, I'll never grow old
Blame it on the love of rock and roll
[Refrain]
As the story goes
Listen up
[Verse 2]
Hey, my teachers didn't like me, they tried to put me down
'Cause I wore my hair too long, played my music way too loud
Every little boy wants to learn to play guitar
So he can pick up all the chicks and be a rock and roll star
[PreChorus]
They said it won't last, but they misunderstood
If people think it's bad, I'll be bad for good
[Chorus]
Lord, you know, it feels so good, it ought to be illegal
I got my vaccination from a phonograph needle
I'll never grow up and I'll never grow old
Blame it on the love of rock and roll
[Refrain]
Blame it on love, blame it on the love
Well, daddy just don't understand what the little girls know
Blame it on the love of rock and roll
[Bridge]
All that I wanted, all I ever needed
All that I wanted, all that I needed
My guitar gave to me
Every song I've sung (Blame it on love)
Every war I've won (Blame it on love)
Everything I've done (Blame it on the love)
Blame it on the love of rock and roll
[Chorus]
Feels so good, it ought to be illegal
I got my vaccination from a phonograph needle
I'll never grow up and I'll never grow old
Blame it on the love of rock and roll
[Outro]
Blame it on love, b-b-blame it on the love
Daddy just don't get what his little girl knows
Blame it on the love of rock and roll
