I know you plan out
Everything that you want to say
I wish that we didn't
Have to go about things this way
I love the rock and roll
I love the rock and roll
Don't get so uptight
Don't get so uptight
Go, go away
Tell me you love me like
You think you want to be loved
Pull on my hand and say
Please just let's make it this way
I love the rock and roll
I love the rock and roll
Don't get so uptight
Don't get so uptight
Go, go away
Go, go away
Everything that you want to say
I wish that we didn't
Have to go about things this way
I love the rock and roll
I love the rock and roll
Don't get so uptight
Don't get so uptight
Go, go away
Tell me you love me like
You think you want to be loved
Pull on my hand and say
Please just let's make it this way
I love the rock and roll
I love the rock and roll
Don't get so uptight
Don't get so uptight
Go, go away
Go, go away
