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
