It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll (Live 2013) Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
If I could dip my pen in my heart
My feelings would flow right onstage
Would it satisfy you, cheatin' heart
Would I have to ease the pain? Ease the pain-ain-ain
If I could win you, if I could sing you
A love song so divine
Would it be enough for your cheating heart?
Or would I break down and cry?
Would I cry-y-y?

[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
Well I like it, I like it, I like it
Can't you see that this old boy has been a lonely

[Verse 2]
If I could dig down deep in my heart
My feelings would flood on the page
Would it be enough for your cheating heart?
Would it help to ease the pain? Ease your brain

[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
Can't you see that this old boy has been a lonely
C'mon
[Bridge]
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 know it's only rock and roll but I like it
Well I know it's only rock and roll but I like it
Well I know it's only rock and roll but I like it
But I like it, like it, yes I do
Well I like it
I like it
I like it

[Interlude: Mick Jagger & (Audience)]
Will you do this "it's only rock and roll" with me?
Like it, it's only rock and roll
(It's only rock and roll)
It's only rock and roll
(It's only rock and roll)
One more time, c'mon
(It's only rock and roll)
It's only rock and roll
(It's only rock and roll)
Yeah
It's only rock and roll
It's only rock and roll
Alright, c'mon!
[Instrumental Breakdown]

[Outro]
I said I know it's only rock and roll but I like it
It's only rock and roll
But I like it, like it, yes, I do

[Audience Applause]

[Spoken Word: Mick Jagger]
Fantastic to see you guys in London, Hyde Park! Any body here who was here in 1969? Well welcome back, it's night to see you again

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
