Rock It Down
Brother and Sister Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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?
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
Well, I like it, I like it, I like it
I said, "Can't you see that this old boy has been a 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"
Well, I like it, yeah, 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 know, it's only rock 'n' roll but I like it, yeah
I know, it's only rock 'n' roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do"
Well, I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it
Only rock 'n' roll but I like it, only rock 'n' roll but I like it
Only rock 'n' roll but I like it, only rock 'n' roll but I like it
Only rock 'n' roll but I like it
