Blame It On The Love Of Rock & Roll
-----------------------------------
First time I heard the music
I tought it was my own
I could feel it in my heartbeat
I could feel it in my bones
My momma thinks I'm crazy
My dad says I'm insane
I got this boogie woogie fever
Burning in my veins
They took me to a 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 will be saved"
I said "I don't think so preacher
I'll come back another day"
All that I want is to be a rolling stone
They don't understand what we all know
It feels so good it oughta 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 & roll
(So the story goes, listen up!)
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
They said it won't last, but they misunderstood
If people think I'm bad, I'll be bad for good
CHORUS
Blame it on the love
Blame it on the love
Daddy just don't understand what the little girls know
Blame it on the love of rock & roll
All I wanted
All I ever needed
Myy guitar gave to me
Every song I've sung (Blame it on the love)
Every war I've won (Blame it on the love)
Every thing I've done (Blame it on the love)
Blame it on the love of rock & roll
CHORUS
