If I could stick my pen in my heart
   I would spill it all over the stage
   Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
   Would you think the boy is strange? Ain't he strange?
   If I could win ya, if I could sing ya
   A love song so divine
   Would it be enough for your cheating heart
   If I broke down and cried? If I cried?
  
   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
   Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it
   I said can't you see that this old boy has been lonely?
  
   If I could stick a knife in my heart
   Suicide right on 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 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 said 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?
  
   And do ya think that you're the only girl around?
   I bet you think that you're the only woman in town
  
   I said 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
   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...
