Lyrics

Won’t you let me walk you home from school?
Won’t you let me meet you at the pool?
Maybe Friday I can get tickets for the dance and I’ll take you.

Won’t you tell your dad get off my back?
Tell him what we said ‘bout “Paint It, Black.”
Rock ‘n’ Roll is here to stay-well, come inside-well, it’s okay-and I’ll shake you.

Won’t you tell me what you’re thinking of?
Would you be an outlaw for my love?
If it’s so let me know-if it’s no, well, I can go-I won’t make you.

First known live performance

1996-03-06 (Neal House, Columbus, OH, USA)
