Bon Jovi › Lyrics › Blame It on the Love of Rock & Roll

Come on

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
Dad says, "I'm insane"
I got the boogie woogie fever
Burning in my veins

They took me to a doctor
But it's too late for me
Tried to take 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, I'll never grow old
Blame it on the love of rock 'n' roll

As the story goes, listen now
My teachers didn't like me
They tried to put me down
'Cause 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 'n' roll star

They said "It won't last", but they misunderstood
If people think it's bad then I'll be bad for good

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 'n' roll
Blame it on the love, blame it on the love
Well Daddy just don't understand what the little girls know
Blame it on the love of rock 'n' roll

All I wanted, all I ever needed
My guitar gave to me

Every song I've sung, blame it on love
Every war I've won, blame it on love
Every thing I've done, blame it on love
Blame it on the love of rock 'n' 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 'n' roll
Blame it on love, b-b-blame it on the love
Daddy just don't understand what the little girls know
Blame it on the love of rock 'n' roll
