They said "you're not normal,
Why don't you sing R&B? "
I say "I've got no rhythm and I got no blues,
I'm as happy as can be"
They said "how can you not
Bop to hip hop? "
I said "I most certainly do,
Did you not see me dancing the other night
Like the girls on Channel you? "
Yeah
I can wind down low
Be like the girls in the videos
But for me that's much too slow
Because I prefer rock and roll
I say, yeah
I can wind down low
Dance like the girls in the videos
But for me that's a no-no
'Cause I prefer rock and roll
They say "why d'ya wear a shirt and tie?
Now that's a bit bizarre"
I said I like to look good when I go on stage
Strumming my guitar
I like to sing my songs about real life things
Like good times and romance
And I prefer to do it in my skinny jeans
Than miniscule hot pants
('cause this baby got no back)
Yeah
I can wind down low
Be like the girls in the videos
But for me that's much too slow
Because I prefer rock and roll
I say, yeah
I can wind down low
Dance like the girls in the videos
But for me that's a no-no
'Cause I prefer rock and roll
Why can't people just let me be?
I'm only putting out what comes best to me
Some people get their kicks from other things
But I get mine from wood and strings
Yeah
I can wind down low
Be like the girls in the videos
But for me that's much too slow
Because I prefer rock and roll
I say, yeah
I can wind down low
Dance like the girls in the videos
But for me that's a no-no
'Cause I prefer rock and roll
Yeah
I can wind down low
Be like the girls in the videos
But for me that's much too slow
Because I prefer rock and roll
I say, yeah
I can wind down low
Dance like the girls in the videos
But for me that's a no-no
'Cause I prefer rock and roll
