Love Should Be Like Rock 'N Roll Lyrics

Love shouldn’t dance to the dying moan of a distant violin

With a proper bow, a curtsy low, and a gentle ballroom spin

Dressed up like a debutant, never doing what you want

Only doing what the rules allow

Love should be like rock and roll… with a little blues and a lot of soul

With the kick drum thumping in your chest

And stay in you the way the best songs never get old

Love should be like rock and roll

Love shouldn’t sit on a pedestal behind a pane of glass

Like an old guitar begging to be played like it was in days gone past

Jimi’s fingers flying cross those strings, man, that Stratocaster sure could sing

But now that fire that it had is locked away

Love should be like rock and roll… with a little blues and a lot of soul

With the kick drum thumping in your chest

And stay in you the way the best songs never get old

Love should be like rock and roll

Love should be irreverent, against the grain in everything it does

That’s what I want for us

Love should be like rock and roll… with a little blues and a lot of soul

With the kick drum thumping in your chest

And stay in you the way the best songs never get old

Love should shoot the stage lights out… be less a sing and more a shout

Like a firework waiting to bust

And when it does, you can’t help but just lose control

Love should be like rock and roll
