[Verse 1] 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 for the dance And I'll take you Ooh-ooh [Verse 2] Won't you tell your dad, "Get off my back"? Tell him what we said 'bout "Paint It, Black" Rock 'n Roll is here to stay Come inside now it's okay And I'll shake you Ooh-ooh [Verse 3] Won't you tell me what you're thinking of? And would you be an outlaw for my love? If it's so, then let me know If it's "no," well, I can go I won't make you Ooh-ooh
