Yeah, yeah, ooh Woo I was just another child growin' wild in the city Just gettin' by on a dream I was thinkin' life was gonna be so pretty It was pretty mean, yeah I hit the road having no expectations Just leavin' where I'd been I didn't care about no fame or the money Show me a place to play and I'm gonna go 'Cause it's all for the love of rock and roll Hear my music in the air and I'm losing control I don't care what you heard, I don't care what you're told 'Cause it's all for the love of rock and roll I hitched a ride on a trip going nowhere Got fifty bucks and a bite Ain't a lot a dough, but when you know the feeling Well it feels alright, alright When you finish with the band and some honey grabs your hand, yeah You get to thinking you might That's when you notice there's a ring on her finger
That's when she tells you that she's single tonight Well it's all for the love of rock and roll Hear my music in the air and I'm losing control I don't care what you heard, I don't care what you're told 'Cause it's all for the love of rock and roll I've got it made when I hit the stage a quarter to nine, yeah Watch 'em dancin' in the haze and the band's really pumping You feel the rush and that's all it's about I'm in for life and there's no gettin' out of the way Yeah All I want All I need Yeah, 'cause it's all for the love of rock and roll Hear my music in the air and I'm losing control I don't care what you heard, I don't care what you're told 'Cause it's all for my love of rock and roll All for my love of rock and roll, wooh
