I've got a feeling we could be serious, girl; Right at this moment, I could promise you the world. Before we go crazy, before we explode, There's something 'bout me, baby, you got to know, You got to know. [Chorus:] I get off on '57 Chevy's I get off on screaming guitar. Like the way it gets me every time it hits me. I've got a rock and roll, I've got a rock and roll heart. Feels like we're falling into the arms of the night, So if you're not ready, don't be holdin' me so tight. I guess there's nothing left for me to explain Here's what you're gettin' and I don't want to change, I don't want to change. [Chorus] I don't need to glitter, no Hollywood, All you got to do is lay it down and you lay it down good. [Chorus]
