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
Won’t you tell your dad, «Get off my back?»
Tell him what we said about «Paint It, Black»
Rock and roll is here to stay
Come inside where it’s okay
And I’ll shake you
Won’t you tell me what you’re thinking of?
Would you be an outlaw for my love?
If it’s so, well, let me know
If it’s over, well, I can go I won’t make you
I just realized that this song is playing in the background of the "How I Met Your Mother" scene where Ted goes on a "2-Minute Date" with his dermatologist, Stella (played by Sarah Chalke... Season 3, Episode 13). Cheesy?... perhaps, but a great scene in this series, with a great song of course.
Such a beautiful song, it's a shame most of the band was never alive when they got lots of public attention. Truly an amazing band!
P.S. There is a documentary on Netflix about them if your interested.

Get tickets for the dance
And I'll take you
Oh, oh, oh
Won't you tell your dad to get off my back?
Tell him what we said about "Paint It Black"
Rock and roll is here to stay
Come inside now, it's ok
And I'll shake you
Oh, oh, oh
Won't you tell me what you're thinking of?
Would you be an outlaw for my love?
If it's so then let me know
If it's no then I can go
And I won't make you
Oh, oh, oh
