Don't play your rock'n'roll to me That ain't the way it's meant to be I ain't so blind that I can't see Just let it lie, let it be Well I know you think I'm crazy, hangin' round But I was sort of hopin' you'd change, from the girl I'd found But your words just sound like rock 'n' roll lies to me And they're just about as burned out, as a worn out forty-five And you can't expect them to keep our love alive So, don't play your rock'n'roll to me That ain't the way it's meant to be
I ain't so blind that I can't see Just let it lie, let it be Well I guess you had me fooled for a while With your come-on looks, and your Mona Lisa smile But your rock'n'roll is getting out of time, to me Go sing your lines to someone else, that someone else may be The fool you always thought you saw in me So, don't play your rock'n'roll to me That ain't the way it's meant to be I ain't so blind that I can't see Just let it lie, let it be
