Lyrics

You were my rock and roll baby
Now baby I'm sittin here thinking of you
I've been thinkin bout the things you did
And all the things you said you would do
You said you loved me then and you'd love me for always and evermore
I could hear those words echo as I watched you walk out of my door

When we were just 18, thirty years old was a lifetime away
But we swore we'd love each other though thick and thin until our dyin day
You were my rock and roll baby and I thought we were the ones
That could make it come true
Until you turned to me and said
I'm rockin rollin babe I'm leavin you

You were my rock and roll baby now baby I'm sittin here trying to see
How the girl that I knew could turn into
The woman I see
Like they said in the song
You were my sunshine on a cloudy day
But then the clouds rolled in
And my rockin baby rolled on away

But now I just sit back and look at all the years that went by
When did your flame grow cold and when did you let your love light die
Was it a natural thing or did you kill the fruit
While still on the vine
Like a sick old fool I keep hoping you'll come back and be mine

Now rock and roll baby you know I'll always be thinking of you
When I see that old movie or walk through a crowd and smell your perfume
You were the woman for me and I thought I could be
The man of your dreams
I guess we just woke up
And found our love was not what it seemed
