| SHE'S A ROCKER - V1 take 4 | 3:10 | LM-5 |
| SHE'S A ROCKER - V2 take 6 | 3:18 | LM-5 / ATMF |
| I'M A ROCKER - V3 | 3:32 | RIVER |
Note: V1 and V2 were recorded at the Power Station on December 4, 1979, in the third person ("She's A Rocker"). V3 "I'm A Rocker" is a later take from April 10, 1980, that went straight to Disc 2 of The River.
Studio Sessions: The River
I'm A Rocker |
I got a 007 watch and it's a one and only
It's got a I-Spy beeper that tells me when you're lonely
I got a Batmobile so I can reach you in a fast shake
When your world's in crisis of an impending heartbreak
Now don't you call James Bond or Secret Agent Man
'Cause they can't do it like I can
(I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker) every day
(I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker)
If you're hanging from a cliff or you're tied to the tracks, girl
(I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker)
Columbo split and you can't find Kojak
(I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker)
And true love is broken and your tears are falling faster
(I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker)
You're suffering from a pain in your heart or some other natural disaster
(I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker)
Now I don't care what kind of shape you're in
If they put up a roadblock, I'll parachute in
(I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker) I'm in love
(I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker) every day
(I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker) with you
(I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker) yeahhh
Alright
Come on!
???!
So you fell for some jerk who was tall, dark and handsome
(I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker)
Then he kidnapped your heart and now he's holding it for ransom
(I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker)
Well like a mission impossible I'm gonna go and get it back
(I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker)
You know I would'a taken better care of it, baby, than that
(I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker)
Sometimes I get so hot girl, well, I can't talk
But when I'm with you I cool off
(I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker) and I walk
(I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker) and I talk
(I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker) every day
(I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker) every day
(I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker) every day
(I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker) yeah yeah every day
(I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker) every day
(I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker) yeah yeah every day
(I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker) every day
(I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker) every day
(I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker) every day
(I'm a rocker, baby, I'm a rocker) whoaaa
