It`s Only Rock `N Roll (But I Like It) — текст песни (Rolling Stones, The)

(5:07)
(Jagger-Richards, 1974)

If I could stick a 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 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 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 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 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.
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 like it.
