Dolly Parton and Melissa Etheridge - Tried To Rock And Roll Me

(Yeah) yeah

You tried to rock and roll me
You say you wanna show me what true romance is
But, mister, you don't know me
I don't fall for flattery and come on's like this

You think you can impress me
With sexy lines of finest wine and designer clothes
You're trying to undress me
With shifty roaming eyes that seem to sparkle and glow

You're arrogant, conceded, and vain
(Baby, I'm not playing this game)

You tried to rock and roll me (yea-yeah)
Like all the rest, I guess you think I'm on the make
(You think you can control me)
(Your mesmerizing eyes are holding me in your gaze)

Don't want to waste time
Pretending I believe a single word that you say
(Believe me I know your kind, yeah)
(You claim the night) you strike, and then you just walk away

You come in like a Hollywood star
(But I can see right through who you are)

You tried to rock and roll me
But, baby, I'm just looking for a good hearted man
The one that's gonna show me
More than an artificial tan and love on demand
(Hey, hey) hey
Hey, hey, hey

Hey, Romeo, there's something you're just gonna have to accept
(You ain't all that, you just need to get over yourself)
And then maybe

You can rock and roll me
Trust me, I ain't too bad a lover myself
(Maybe you can show me) show me
(All the magic you've been saying I've never felt)
I'm not gonna pretend
I'm not impressed with your good looks 'cause, baby, you're hot
(But beauty's only skin deep)
So why don't you show me that's not all that you've got

(Try to rock and roll me, yeah) oh, you try to rock and roll me
(You try to rock and roll me, yeah, yeah, yeah) oh, you try to rock and roll me
(Come on, come on) yeah
Can rock me, baby, rock me, baby, get too my soul
Rock me, baby, rock me, let's rock and roll
(Come on, Dolly, let's rock)
I'm still rockin' it, Melissa
