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 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
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
They don't understand what we all know
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
They always tried to put me down
'Cause I wore my hair too long
I played my music way too loud
So he can pick up all the chicks
And be a rock-n-roll star
If people think it's bad then I'll be bad for good
Dad don't understand what the little girls know
Blame it on the love of rock-n-roll
My guitar gave to me
Every song I've sung blame it on love
Everything I've done blame it on love
Blame it on the love of rock-n-roll
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
It feels so good it ought to be illegal...awesome lyric.
Great song.
Bon Jovi seem to be real Stones fans. this, We Got It Goin' On, covering Start Me Up/Jumpin' Jack Flash live. it's real cute :D
but this song is good. sounds a lot like I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
This is my fave Bon Jovi song atm! Fantastic song
What ever happened to Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll? Now all we have is Aids, Crack, and Techno :/
