Thirteen
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 from the dance
And I'll take you
Oooh oooh oooh
Won't you tell your dad get off my back?
Tell him what we said 'bout "paint it black"
Rock and roll is here to stay
Come inside now it's ok
And I'll shake you
Oooh oooh oooh
Won't you tell me what you're thinking of?
Would you be an outlaw for my love?
If it's so then let me know
If it's no then I can go
And I won't make you
Oooh oooh oooh
