Times are tough and times are strange
But times one thing that you can't change
Love is a noun and love is a verb
And sometimes love is a dirty word
It don't matter what tomorrow brings
Tonight you just need to think about one thing
And that's showing up and letting go
And maybe getting just a little out of control and sing
Whoa, don't you just wanna rock and roll?
Gather up a couple of friends
Let us shout, hit the spot
And the party begin and sing
Whoa, yeah, yeah, don't you just wanna rock and roll?
Lose yourself out in the crowd
In the night and the lights cut lose and loud
Drown all the stressed up, pepped up, messed up out
That's what I'm talking about
Where the sun will shine and the clouds will rain
Might have to learn to smile through the pain
You lose a step but you gain a friend
Might even get your break every now and then
So don't sweat it, just let it slide
And when you get on the road, baby, let it ride
You gotta get up to get down
You gotta unwind a little to come on round and sing
Whoa, yeah, yeah, don't you just wanna rock and roll?
Gather up a couple of friends
Let us shout, hit the spot
Let the party begin
Whoa, yeah, yeah, don't you just wanna rock and roll?
Lose yourself out in the crowd
In the night and the lights cut lose and loud
Drown all the messed up, pepped up, stressed up out
That's what I'm talking about
And when you get tired of trying to be
Who they want you to be
Be what you wanna be
Well, come on, come on
Whoa, yeah, don't you just wanna rock and roll?
Gather up a couple of friends
Let us shout at the spot
And let the party begin
Whoa, ho, ooh, oh, don't you just wanna rock and roll?
Lose yourself out in the crowd
In the night and the lights cut lose and loud
Drown all the stressed up, messed up, pepped up out
That's what I'm talking about
Don't you just wanna rock and roll?
Don't you just wanna rock and roll?
Gather up a couple of friends, let the party begin
Lose yourself out in the crowd
Don't you just wanna rock and roll?
Drown all the stressed up, messed up, pepped up out
Whoa, don't you just wanna rock and roll?
