If I could stick my pen in my heart 

And spill it all over the stage 

Would it satisfy, would it slide on by 

Would you think the boy is strange? Ain't he strange? 



If I could win, if I could sing 

A love song so divine 

Would it be enough for your cheating heart 

If I broke down and cried? If I cried? 



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 

Oh, 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 the 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 down 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 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, 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 you're the only woman in town 

Oh, yeah 



I know it's only rock ‘n roll but I like it 

I know it's only rock ‘n roll but I like it 

Oh, I know it's only rock ‘n roll but I like it, oh yeah 

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, ah, I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it 

(Only rock ‘n roll but) I like it…
