Standing on the sideline
Waiting for the right time
That girl knows her part
Jammin' with my heart
Didn't wanna be here
But now that I see her
I know why I ran
& why I'm back again
She makes me lose control
& I do believe the girl can see into my soul
It shakes me now
She says she wants my love
That's too much

Ooh that news excites me
'Cause the girl's got Rockability
Think she'll go all the way
'Cause the girl's got Rockability

Ooh she's really out there
So knocked out l=I don't care
That Amazon thing can make a body sing
Every move is startime
She's a legend in a long line
I want her to be everything to me
She makes me lose control
When she moves I wanna fall under her spell
It breaks me down
She knows but she won't tell
That I'm the one

Ooh that news excites me
The girl's got Rockability
Think she'll go all the way
'Cause the girl's got Rockability

Doin' wrong if I can't do her right
Yeah I'm making my play
Any way I can get it
The girl's got Rock

Hall & Oates released the first of their 18 albums in 1972 on Atlantic Records. They would go on to sell 13 million albums and 6 million singles primarily during the 70’s and 80’s when they recorded their most prolific and profound music. They blended rock, jazz, soul, and pop create a genre they titled rock and soul.

While their technical musicianship, innovative songwriting styles, and popular live performances were praised, they also had a fruitful partnership with their manager Tommy Mottola, who was helped Hall & Oates break into music videos before they were popular and made profitable financial deals by helping them get on the ground level of and corporate sponsorship of tours. Hall & Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
