David Ruffin
Me And Rock ’N Roll (Are Here To Stay)
[Intro]
Mmm, aow how! Whoo!
Come on, babe, yeah, yeah
Higher, higher, higher, uh-huh

[Verse 1]
I made a lot of mistakes in my times
Foolish was I and young was my mind
Sometimes, a man must live in doubt just to appreciate life
I hope you understand where I'm coming from
I'm simply saying what's done is done
It's a brand new day, and me and rock and roll are here to stay

Ooh, hoo!
Well, well, whoa

[Chorus]
(Sing your song, David)
Yes sir, I'm gonna sing it
(Through the top, you're gonna make it)
Lord, I might say
I'm proud to say
That me and rock and roll are here to stay
(Together, together, togethеr, woo!)

[Verse 2]
I love the sound of a crowd cheerin'
It gives mе more than just a good feelin'
Knowin' they're sharin'
The life I live and love, love, love, love, love
I treasure each and every word of this song
It expresses so many things I felt for so long
I feel good, and I just wanna say
Me and rock and roll are here to stay
What I say, children?
Ooh-hoo!

[Chorus]
(Sing your song, David)
Feel like singin'
(Through the top, you're gonna make it)
Oh, yeah
The sun is shining, it's a brand new day
And me and rock and roll are here to stay
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, woo!)

[Verse 3]
I've seen a lot of entertainers come and go
And I'm sure before I die, I'm gon' see a lot more
I am a mountain, and I refuse to be moved
There are so many things I wanna say and do
And a lot of things I wanna prove to me and you
But most of all, that me and rock and roll are here to stay, yeah

[Chorus]
(Sing your song, David)
Woo, help me
(Through the top, you're gonna make it)
Oh, yeah
I'm so proud to say
That me and rock and roll are here to stay
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, woo!)
(Sing your song, David)
I gotta sing it
(Through the top, you're gonna make it)
All the way
One more time, if I may
Me and rock and roll are here to stay
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, woo!)

(Sing your song, David)
Woo, I've gotta sing it, yeah, yeah
(Through the top, you're gonna make it)
