Over deze songtekst:

Geschreven in 1974 door het schrijversduo Mick Jagger en Keith Richards maar met samenwerking van Ronnie Wood. Het nummer is een antwoord aan alle mensen die zegden 'oh, het is toch niet zo goed als hun laatste hit'. De opnames gingen door bij Ronnie Wood thuis, een huis dat nu eigendom is van Who gitarist Pete Townshend. Backing vocal werd gedaan door David Bowie en Jagger en Richards deden de productie nadat Jimmy Miller na het vorige album vertrok. In 1985 zong Mick Jagger dit samen met Tina Turner voor Live Aid. Het was zijn eerste live optreden zonder de andere Rolling Stones. In 1999 werd het opnieuw ingezongen door tal van artiesten (Mary J Blige, Jon Bon Jovi, Spice Girls, Lionel Richie, Iggy Pop, James Brown, Ozzy Osbourne, Jackson Browne, Corrs, Chrissie Hynde, ...) voor het goede doel.

If I could stick my pen in my heart 
And 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 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 
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? 

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 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...
