First time I heard the music

I thought it was my own

I could feel it in my heartbeat

I could feel it in my bones

My momma thinks I'm crazy

My dad says I'm insane

I got this boogie woogie fever

That's burning in my veins

They took me to a doctor

But it's too late for me

Then dragged me to a preacher

That they saw on their TV

Who said that for a small donation

My lost soul would be saved

I said, "I don't think so, preacher

I'll come back another day."

All that I want, is to be a Rolling Stone

They don't understand what we all know

It feels so good that it ought to be illegal

I got my vaccination from a phonograph needle

I'll never grow up and I'll never grow old

Blame it on the love of rock and roll

My teachers didn't like me

They tried to put me down

Because I wore my hair too long

I played my music way too loud

Every little boy wants to learn to play guitar

So he can pick up all the chicks

And be a rock and roll star

They said, "It won't last," but they misunderstood

If people think it's bad then I'll be bad for good

Lord, you know it feels so good that it ought to be illegal

I got my vaccination from a phonograph needle

I'll never grow up and I'll never grow old

Blame it on the love of rock and roll

Blame it on the love, blame it on the love

Dad don't understand what the little girls know

Blame it on the love of rock and roll

All that I wanted, all I ever needed

My guitar gave to me

Every song I've sung (Blame it on the love)

Every war I've won (Blame it on the love)

Everything I've done (Blame it on the love)

Blame it on the love of rock and roll

It feels so good that it ought to be illegal

I got my vaccination from a phonograph needle

I'll never grow up and I'll never grow old

Blame it on the love of rock and roll

Blame it on the love, blame it on the love

Dad don't understand what the little girls know

Blame it on the love of rock and roll
