Britney Spears Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I saw him dancing there
By the record machine
I knew he must have
Been about seventeen
The beat was going strong
Playing my favorite song
Till he was with me, yeah, with me
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
Till he was with me, yeah, with me
Singing I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take the time
And dance with me, owh
He smiled, so I got up
And asked for his name
"But that don't matter" he said
"Because it's all the same"
I said: "Can I take you home
Where we can be alone?"
And next we were moving on
And he was with me, yeah, with me
And we were moving on
And singing that same old song
Yeah, with me
Singing I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take the time
And dance with me, owh
I love rock and roll yeah
'Cause it soothes my soul yeah
I love rock and roll
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I said, "Can I take you home
Where we can be alone?"
And next we were moving on
And he was with me, yeah, with me
And we were moving on
And singing that same old song
Yeah, with me
Singing: I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take the time

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I find everyone to be beautiful, so long as they are good and true to themselves. Happy people are always beautiful.

I still to this day love her, I live in Kentwood down the street from her mom on Lewiston rd., and when she used to come home everyone would treat her like a regular Human being not a celebrity. She is really a nice woman in person. I see he mother and sister all the time at Walmart in Amite Louisiana. Though her parents are so cruel to her and used her, they used to be great parents to her until they got money hungry her dad especially. Britney, you rock and we all miss you in South Louisiana. Your home is always Kentwood, under the big giant oak in Kentwood square park on Friday and Saturday night's, that was good Ole times, many years ago. Take care buddy, love you always, ""Big C""
