Well, rock and roll will break your heart
It will make you weep
If you only knew right from the start
You'd only live in dreams
If you want your baby well
You'll surely do her wrong
You won't function in this world
All for just one more song
Your chords will only ring in vain
They'll echo in jest
Because your chords don't sound the same
To you as all the rest
So, rock and roll will break your heart
It will make you weep
Rock and roll will break your heart
You'll only live in dreams
Rock and roll will break your heart
If you knew right from the start...
