Friends say it's fine, friends say it's good
Everybody say it's just like Rock 'n Roll
I move like a cat, charge like a ram
Sting like a bee baby, I wanna be your man
Well, it's plain to see you were meant for me, yeah
And I'm your boy, your 20th century toy
Friends say it's fine, friends say it's good
Everybody say it's just like Rock 'n Roll
Fly like a plane, love like a car
Bawl like a hound baby, I wanna be your man
Well, it's plain to see you were meant for me
And I'm your toy, your 20th century boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
Friends say it's fine, friends say it's good
Everybody say it's just like Rock 'n Roll
Well it's plain to see you were meant for me
And I'm your boy, your 20th century toy
Move like a cat, charge like a ram
Sting like a bee, baby I wanna be your man
Friends say it's fine, friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like Rock 'n Roll
Well, it's plain to see you were meant for me
And I'm your toy, your 20th century boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
