Blame It On The Love Of Rock & Roll Lyrics

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 tried to take me to a doctor
But it's too late for me
Then they took 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 I want, is to be a Rolling Stone
They don't understand what we all know

Chorus:
It feels so good that it ought to be illegal
I got my vaccination from a phonograf needle
I'll never grow up and I'll never grow old
Blame it on the love of rock & roll

My teachers didn't like me
They always 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

Chorus

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-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
Everything I've done blame it on love
Blame it on the love of rock-n-roll

Chorus

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-n-roll

I can't believe how many sites have the lyrics misspelled -- who the hell ever heard of a pornograf needle?

Awesome song.

Yeah, me too. It's pathetic to present such untrue, incorrect lyrics. And not only for this song of Bon Jovi. Sad...

Just a good old fashioned rock number. Using rock and roll like a reference to drugs. I can imagine how he feels being on the high of performing
