I Love Rock 'N' Roll
Joan Jett;The Blackhearts Lyrics

I saw him dancin' there by the record machine
The singer saw a young man dancing near the record player.

I knew he must a been about seventeen
The singer guessed the young man's age to be around seventeen.

The beat was goin' strong
The music was loud and energetic.

Playin' my favorite song
The record player was playing the artist's favorite song.

An' I could tell it wouldn't be long
The artist felt like something exciting was about to happen soon.

Till he was with me, yeah me, singin'
The singer anticipated the young man would soon join her and sing together.

I love rock n' roll
The singer loves the genre of rock and roll music.

So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
The artist wants someone to put some more money in the jukebox to keep the music playing.

So come an' take your time an' dance with me
The artist wants someone to join her and dance together to the music.

He smiled so I got up and' asked for his name
The young man smiled, so the artist got up and asked for his name.

That don't matter, he said,
The young man replied that his name does not matter.

'Cause it's all the same
The young man thinks their names do not matter because they are both enjoying the music together.

Said can I take you home where we can be alone
The young man asked if he could take the singer home to be alone.

An' next we were movin' on
After the young man asked the singer about going home, they left together.

He was with me, yeah me
The young man stayed with the singer, and they sang together.

Next we were movin' on
They left the place and went somewhere else together.

An' singin' that same old song
They continued to sing the same song they enjoyed before.

Yeah with me, singin'
The young man was singing along with the singer and enjoying the music together.
