Chorus:
A               F#m               A F#m
Don't play your rock 'n' roll to me
A              F#m                A F#m
That ain't the way it's meant to be
A           F#m                A  F#m
I ain't so blind that I can't see
D            E                A F#m
Just let it lie, just let it be

 D               E
Don't play your rock 'n' roll - no
 D               E
Don't play your rock 'n' roll - no
 D               E                A F#m
Don't play your rock 'n' roll to me

Well I know you think I'm crazy to keep
hanging 'round
But I was sorta hoping you'd change from
the girl I found
But your words just sound like rock n' roll
lines to me
And they're just about as burned out as
a worn-out 45
And you can't expect 'em to keep our love alive
Ohh-oh

(Ooo-ooo)
So, don't play your Rock n' Roll to me
(Ooo-ooo)
That ain't the way it's meant to be
(Ooo-ooo)
I ain't so blind that I can't see
(Ahh)
Just let it lie and let it be

Chorus:
So, don't play your Rock n' Roll, no
Don't play your Rock n' Roll, no
Don't play your Rock n' Roll to me

Well, I guess you had me fooled for a while
With your come on looks and your Mona Lisa smile
But your Rock n' Roll is gettin' out
of time for me
Go sing your lines at someone else,
'cause someone else may be
The fool you always thought you saw in me
Ohh

So, don't play your Rock n' Roll to me
That ain't the way it's meant to be
I ain't so blind that I can't see
(Ahh-ahh-ah)
Just let it lie and let it be

Chorus:
Don't play your Rock n' Roll, no
Don't play your Rock n' Roll, no
Don't play your Rock n' Roll to me

(Ahh-ahh-ah)
Just let it lie and let it be

Chorus:
Don't play your Rock n' Roll, no
Don't play your Rock n' Roll, no
Don't play your Rock n' Roll to me

(Ahh-ahh-ah)
Just let it lie and let it be

Chorus:
Don't play your Rock n' Roll, no
Don't play your Rock n' Roll, no
Don't play your Rock n' Roll [fade]
