[Verse 1]     
     EIf I could stick my pen in my heart
     I would spill it all over the stage
     Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya,
     Would you think the boy is strange?
     Ain't he AstrGangEe?
[Verse 2]    
     EIf I could win ya, If I could sing ya
     a love song so divine
     would it be enough for your cheating heart
     if I broke down and cried?
     If I AcrGieEd?
[Chorus]
          I said AI know... it's only rock and roll, but I Elike it
