About Don't Play Your Rock 'n' Roll to Me

"Don't Play Your Rock 'n' Roll to Me" is a song by British rock band Smokie. It was released in early September 1975 as a single and appeared later on the album Changing All the Time. Like the band's previous two singles "Pass It Around" and "If You Think You Know How to Love Me", the song was composed by Nicky Chinn / Mike Chapman. The acoustic guitar riff in "Don't Play Your Rock 'n' Roll to Me" is adopted from the Elvis Presley hit "His Latest Flame". The single was as successful as the previous one. It debuted in the UK Singles Chart on 4 October 1975, reaching #8 and lingering in the charts for 7 weeks. more »

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
Just let it lie, let it be

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, oh

Well I know you think I'm crazy, hangin' round
But I was sort of hopin' you'd change, from the girl I'd found
But your words just sound like rock 'n' roll lies to me
And they're just about as burned out, as a worn out forty-five
And you can't expect them to keep our love alive, oh

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
Just let it lie, let it be

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, oh

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 getting out of time, to me
Go sing your lines to someone else, that someone else may be
The fool you always thought you saw in me, oh

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
Just let it lie, let it be

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, oh
Just let it lie, let it be
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, oh
Just let it lie, let it be
Don't play your rock 'n' roll, no
Don't play your rock 'n' roll, no
Don't play your rock 'n' roll
