[Verse 1]
If I could stick my pen in my heart
And spill it all over the stage
Would it satisfy you? Would it slide on by you?
Would you think the boy is strange? Ain't he strange?
If I could win you, if I could sing you
A love song so divine
Would it be enough for your cheating heart
If I broke down and cried? If I cried

[Chorus]
I said, I know it's only rock and roll, but I like it
I know it's only rock and 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?

[Verse 2]
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 you? Would it slide on by you?
Would you think the boy's insane? He is insane

[Chorus]
I said, I know it's only rock and roll, but I like it
I said, I know it's only rock and 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

[Bridge]
And do you think that you're the only girl around?
I bet you think that you're the only woman in town

[Chorus]
I said, I know it's only rock and roll, but I like it
I said, I know it's only rock and roll, but I like it
I know it's only rock and roll, but I like it, yeah
I know it's only rock and roll, but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it
I like it, I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) Ooh, I like that
(Only rock and roll, but) Ooh yeah, I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) Yeah, I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) Oh yeah, I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) Oh yeah, but I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) Yeah, I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) Oh yeah, but I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) Oh I, I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) Oh yeah, I like it
Yeah, I like it
Oh, I like it
Oh, I like it
Ooh yeah, I like that

The Rolling Stones

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
