I Love Rock and Roll
Britney Spears · Britney
Hey, is this thing on?
I saw him dancing there by the record machine
I knew he must have been about seventeen
The beat was going strong, playing my favorite song
I could tell it wouldn't be long
'Til he was with me, yeah with me
I could tell it wouldn't be long
'Til he was with me, yeah with me, singin'
CHORUS
I love rock 'n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock 'n' roll
So come and take the time and dance with me
He smiled, so I got up and asked for his name
"But that don't matter," he said, "'cause it's all the same."
He said, "Can I take you home where we can be alone?"
And next we were movin' on
And he was with me, yeah with me
And we were movin' on and singin' the same ol' song
Yeah with me, singin'
CHORUS - repeat
He said, "Can I take you home where we can be alone?"
And next we were movin' on
And he was with me, yeah with me
And we were movin' on and singing that same ol' song
Yeah with me, singin'
CHORUS - repeat
I saw him dancing there by the record machine
I knew he must have been about seventeen
The beat was going strong, playing my favorite song
I could tell it wouldn't be long
'Til he was with me, yeah with me
I could tell it wouldn't be long
'Til he was with me, yeah with me, singin'
CHORUS
I love rock 'n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock 'n' roll
So come and take the time and dance with me
He smiled, so I got up and asked for his name
"But that don't matter," he said, "'cause it's all the same."
He said, "Can I take you home where we can be alone?"
And next we were movin' on
And he was with me, yeah with me
And we were movin' on and singin' the same ol' song
Yeah with me, singin'
CHORUS - repeat
He said, "Can I take you home where we can be alone?"
And next we were movin' on
And he was with me, yeah with me
And we were movin' on and singing that same ol' song
Yeah with me, singin'
