where has all that rock’n'roll gone
oh won’t somebody tell me where?
‘cos it used to be when i was young
that you could hear them playing it everywhere
but now it seems they’re all so hooked on fashion
the music’s taken second place
everyone it seems has one obsession
to beat the others in the race
and it just don’t feel right to me
no no it just don’t feel right to me

‘cos i love that rock’n'roll too much
and i don’t wanna see it ever waving goodbye
yeah i love that rock’n'roll too too much
and i couldn’t bear to see it go by
rock’n'roll you’re too much to deny

oh where has all that music gone
there must be some mistake
from something that was so much fun
they were burning bridges in their wake
o.k. everything has got to keep changing
i know it has to be that way
but isn’t it too high a price we’re paying
we’re losing most of yesterday
and it just don’t feel right to me

angel face, we just met
well, just how lucky can one boy get
there’s a light in your eyes
i know it’s love and i know that i could be happy
with a girl like you, umm-umm

tell your ma, tell your pa
and tell your favorite old wishing star
we’re in love, just by chance
i ask of you, would you like to dance
fancy dancing, with a girl like you

*funny how love can come to a lonely heart
i’m a boy, you’re a girl
i guess that’s a pretty good start

1. here i am, there you are (2. here am i, there you are)
together baby we should go far
a girl like you, a boy like me
two hearts together like they ought to be (last time to coda)
can’t believe, i’ve got a girl like you, (umm-umm)

(repeat from *)

coda:

can’t believe, i’ve got a girl like you,
got a girl like you, got a girl like you……
(fade out)

i’m better off without you
i’m better off you know
we’re nothing more than strangers
with nowhere else to go
but like a fool i’ll stay by your side
knowing that you won’t believe me
when i say i’ve tried

a heart will break tonight
make no mistake i’ll lie awake tonight
a heart will break and i won’t feel the same
‘cos you stay just the same as you are
and a heart will break tonight

we made no commitment
we made only words
it’s no consolation that we’re free like the birds
‘cos who needs to fly like they do
there’s only one reason i’m staying
it’s ‘cos i love you…i do

a heart will break tonight
make no mistake i’ll lie awake tonight
a heart will break and i won’t feel the same
‘cos you stay just the same as you are
and a heart will break tonight

a heart will break tonight
make no mistake i’ll lie awake tonight
a heart will break and i won’t feel the same
‘cos you stay just the same as you are
and a heart will break tonight
tonight it’s gonna break
don’t know if i’ll make it
thru’ the night…oh oh oh oh…

it’s been so long you say you’ve had fun
and you’ve been happy with the things you’ve done
now you feel strange and a little unreal
well i can understand the way you feel
you’re just a little in love just a little
you’re just a little in love just a little

well i can see what’s happenin’ to you
you feel alone but it’s just not true
and there’s one thing you oughta know ooh ooh
i need you so
i’m just a little in love just a little
i’m just a little in love just a little

you say you’re willing to learn
you need a friend a friend who will help you
‘cos you’re just a little in love woh yeah
a little in love you are a little in love
with someone - you’re just like me
like me you’re a little in love woh yeah a little in love

you know sometime you look somewhere
you’re not alone but there’s no-one there
no-one to turn to
no-one to see
the way you’re feelin’ you’re just like me
you’re just a little in love just a little
you’re just a little in love just a little

you say you’re willing to learn
you need a friend a friend who will help you
‘cos you’re just a little in love woh yeah

like me you’re in love woh yeah a little in love

key change

you’re in love - woh yeah
a little in love you are
a little in love with someone you’re just like me
like me you’re in love…

the story is a famous one
now worshipped, now dismissed
rehearsed and trawled for meanings
that may well not exist
the demon at the story’s heart
the cuckoo in the nest
gives little of himself away
which is of course why you will stay
in case he falters, should betray
by whom or what possessed

these are the facts of the matter
these are the names in the case
this is the story, the passion
the time and the place
they’re laid here before you
so judge if you can -
the devil incarnate or
a misunderstood man?

his origins, his way of life
his motives - they’re all news
no shortage of detractors
to air their noisy views
the man inspires a thousand lies
the lover takes his choise
remaining coldly in control
aware that sadly, on the whole
it is the fool who bares his soul
i’ll give the man a voice!

these are the facts of the matter
these are the names in the case
this is the story, the passion
the time and the place
they’re laid here before you
so judge if you can -
the devil incarnate or
a misunderstood man?
