Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Won't you let me
Walk you home from school?
Won't you let me
Meet you at the pool?
Maybe Friday I can
Get tickets for the dance
And I'll take you
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
Won't you tell your dad
Get off my back?
Tell him what we said
'Bout Paint It Black
Rock and roll is here to stay
And come inside well, it's ok
And I'll shake you
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
Won't you tell me
What you're thinking of?
Would you be an outlaw
For my love?
If it's so, well let me know
If it's no, well I can go
I won't make you
Ooh, ooh
