You Cant Rock n Roll

Watching, waiting
For someone to take me home
You've got soul but
You can't rock 'n' roll
With me
You paint. You see.
A comedy of fools

So pick your pretty
Face up off the floor
And hold me. hold me.

Tonight
In your eyes
You've got soul but
You can't rock 'n' roll

And now you're getting high
You need something more
Now you're getting high

Tonight
In your eyes
You've got soul but
You can't rock 'n' roll
