I saw him dancing there by the record machine
I knew he must have been about 17
And the beat was going strong
Playing my favorite song
I could tell it wouldn't belong
He was with me (Yeah, me)
I could tell it wouldn't belong
He was with me (Yeah, me)

Singin' I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox baby
I love rock and roll
So come on take time and dance with me

Ah

He smiled so I got up and ask for name
But that don't matter he said cuz it's all the same
I said can I take you home
Where we can be alone
I could tell it wouldn't belong
He was with me (Yeah, me)
I could tell it wouldn't belong
He was with me (Yeah, me)

Can't stay at home, won't stay at school
Old folks say, ya poor little fool
Down the street I'm the girl next door
I'm the fox you've been waiting for

Hello Daddy, hello mom
I'm your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb
Hello world I'm your wild girl
I'm your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb

Stone age love and strange sounds too
Come on baby let me get to you
Bad nights cause'n teenage blues
Get down ladies you've got nothing to lose

Hello Daddy, hello Mom
I'm your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb
Hello world, I'm your wild girl
I'm your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb

Hello Daddy, hello Mom
I'm your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb
Hello world I'm your wild girl
I'm your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb

I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
You're living in the past it's a new generation
A girl can do what she wants to do and that's
What I'm gonna do
An' I don't give a damn ' bout my bad reputation

Oh no not me

An' I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
Never said I wanted to improve my station
An' I'm only doin' good
When I'm havin' fun
An' I don't have to please no one
An' I don't give a damn
'Bout my bad reputation

Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me
