Thirteen Lyrics
[00:05.39] Won't you let me walk you home from school?
[00:11.92]
[00:14.12] Won't you let me meet you at the pool?
[00:23.18] Maybe Friday I can
[00:27.73] Get tickets for the dance
[00:34.18] And I'll take you, ooh ooh
[00:44.57]
[00:46.65] Won't you tell your dad to get off my back?
[00:52.60]
[00:54.83] Tell him what we said about Paint It Black
[01:03.77] Rock and roll is here to stay
[01:07.87] Come inside where it's okay
[01:14.35] And I'll shake you, ooh ooh
[01:46.47]
[01:50.36] Won't you tell me what you're thinking of?
[01:56.17]
[01:58.36] Would you be an outlaw for my love?
[02:06.85] If it's so, well let me know
[02:10.86] If it's no, well I can go
[02:16.72] I won't make you, ooh ooh
[02:25.04]
[00:11.92]
[00:14.12] Won't you let me meet you at the pool?
[00:23.18] Maybe Friday I can
[00:27.73] Get tickets for the dance
[00:34.18] And I'll take you, ooh ooh
[00:44.57]
[00:46.65] Won't you tell your dad to get off my back?
[00:52.60]
[00:54.83] Tell him what we said about Paint It Black
[01:03.77] Rock and roll is here to stay
[01:07.87] Come inside where it's okay
[01:14.35] And I'll shake you, ooh ooh
[01:46.47]
[01:50.36] Won't you tell me what you're thinking of?
[01:56.17]
