he learned to grow Worked in a band who had no name at all Every mornin' at the break of dawn You could see him draggin' home his drums I was vaccinated with a little needle And I'm hooked on rock and roll They called the family doctor to see what he could do Doc said 'No you can't cure his soul Once he's infected with the blues' So I traveled 'round from town to town singin' up the news I was vaccinated with a little needle And I'm hooked on rock and roll When you find you got to mind To work from nine to five Find the back beat, see your heart free And feel that music runnin' through your feet Mama told me long ago 'Ain't no future in that rock'n'roll' And I said 'Hey mama, it's burnin' hot inside my soul' It's like a fever that won't cool down I've been addicted since I heard that sound I was vaccinated with a little needle And I'm hooked on rock and roll When you find you got to mind (bop shoo bop, bop bop shoo bop) To work from nine to five Find the back beat, see your heart free (Bop shoo bop, bop bop shoo bop) And feel that music runnin' through your feet Mama told me long ago 'Ain't no future in that rock'n'roll' And I said 'Hey mama, it's burnin' hot inside my soul'

Makes me wonder Should I just go home And I walk up the stairs To see if you're still there Would you mind if I found you alone Then a cold wind came callin' Strange how it knew it'd bother me See the night would fade But the pain's gonna stay Makes me wonder Have you ever made love to me I can't stop the rain, here it comes again Lightnin' strikes across the sky Oh, I can't stop the rain, here it comes again Lightnin' only blinds my eyes Ain't it sad When the only love I ever had Just slips away Right through my fingers Ain't it a shame when I think of your name The only memory I have is it I can't stop the rain, here it comes again Lightnin' strikes across the sky Oh, I can't stop the rain, here it comes again It takes a witch to curse that goddamn sky I can't stop the rain, here it comes again Lightnin' strikes across the sky Oh, I can't stop the rain, here it comes again 'Cause lightnin' only blinds my eyes Oh, I can't stop the rain, here it comes again 'Cause lightnin' only blinds my eyes Can't stop it, only blinds my eyes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
