Iris, Donnie - Love Is Like A Rock Lyrics






Love is Like a Rock
You can't depend on your teacher
You can't depend on your preacher
You can't depend on politicians
You can't depend on superstitions

Love can rock you
Never stop you
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Love is like a rock

You can't rely on Mother Nature
You can't rely on your paychecks
You can't depend on your doctor
You can't depend on your lawyer

Love can rock you
Never stop you
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Love is like a rock

Love can rock you
Never stop you
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Love is like a rock

  55. T.... T....

    This has the sound and production and adolescent swagger of a song that should have been in "Fast Times At Ridgemont High," but wasn't.

  56. T.... T....

    This has the sound and production and adolescent swagger of a song that should have been in "Fast Times At Ridgemont High," but wasn't.

  57. N.... D....

    LOVE IS LIKE A ROCK

  58. L.... R....

    Good riff, this should have been a much bigger hit song.

    L.... R....

    I agree, sadly in early 1982 people were still into the soft rock music and the country crossover pop music that was ruling the airwaves during that time period.

  59. J.... M....

    Donnie Iris penned the one song lyric that will remain true forever: YOU CAN'T DEPEND ON POLITICIANS! (Democrat or Republican)

  60. D.... B....

    You know everyone in my town think they know music. I was in a band and we played this and Ah Leah and everyone thought we wrote it. When we told them who the song was written by and next thing you know everyone was searching everywhere for the cds.

  61. W.... P....

    HEY!!!!
    Love can Rock You!! 😍

  62. C.... H....

    I remember this song from when I was a kid and it popped into my head again today,so glad I found it again

  64. F.... I....

  70. P.... F....

    This is all true. Not sure of love?

  71. J.... S....

    For some reason I always thought this was a Billy Squier song...

  72. o.... c....

    Slade's cover in '87 was okay, a little crunchier, but it was the first time (of MANY to come) that I thought, "Is this cover really necessary?"

  73. m.... ....

    I have this sudden urge to go hang out with a very short girl i was dating at the time who had a great body and could kiss like nobody else. Wonder what happened to Robin.

  74. H.... T....

    Excellent use of the Gretsch Country Gentleman Chet Atkins 🎸

  75. W.... S....

    This great old song is under played on classic rock stations. Other classic rock songs are over played so much I want to puke.You know which ones they are.

    W.... S....

    They cant play this, it won't leave airtime for the same 3 Slippery When Wet tracks.

    W.... S....

    "It's 10 o'clock, let's get the Led out, Man....." The biggest cliche in classic rock.

    W.... S....

    @U686ST Ragdoll, Love in an Elevator, Dude Looks Like a Lady.... Every hour, on the hour!!

    W.... S....

    @Blindi Thorbjorn But how then can they squeeze in 30 Stairway to Heavens in a day

    W.... S....

    @U686ST Been replaced with Mandatory Metallica! Playing the same 3/4 songs like always.

  76. M.... Z....

    I miss the 80's!

  77. K.... C....

    Gotta get those leg warmers and white "do me" pumps!

    K.... C....

    Kim C .....nice mental picture!!!

  78. S.... ....

    Donnie has as good a voice as Little Richard or Paul McCartney....

  79. w.... ....

    This is rock done proper!

  80. w.... ....

    185 GaGa fans have cast their vote...

  81. W.... ....

  90. M.... K....

    .......MTV used to play a concert video clip of this song.......the early/mid '80s of MTV were awesome.......

    M.... K....

    Or on a cool show called Night Flight.

  91. L.... C....

    I was a sophomore in high school when this was released. Still a great song. Nothing like 80s music. What an era!  I am almost  51 and still stuck in the 80s'.

    L.... C....

    Me too! This stuff gives me chills! Love it! ❤❤❤

    L.... C....

    Class of 1983 here.

    L.... C....

    L.... C....

    There are many WORSE places to be stuck.

  92. T.... ....

    This is one of the great 80s songs that most people from the 80s never heard.

    T.... ....

    Everybody that was in Pittsburgh in the '80s knows Donnie Iris. I mean *personally*. Ask 'em :D

    T.... ....

    I saw Donnie Iris open up for almost everyone in the late 1980s. I'm from the Akron area and now Donnie Iris shills for the cable company.

    T.... ....

    God awful piece of dog shit.....

    T.... ....

    You couldn't go skating and not have heard this song.

    T.... ....

    Ric Degre Ain’t that the damn truth!! 😂🤣

    Nowadays, 17 is practically abstinence!

  94. B.... M....

    I was in 3rd grade skate rinks,stereo coffee tables playing 45's what fun it was

  95. 1.... ....

    This is something to hear first thing in the morning before work. Nice.

  96. K.... ....

    Remember seeing them open for UFO at the Ampitetheater and the crowd booed them mercilessly. Recall seeing a roll of toilet paper bounce off Donny's head. Good times.

    K.... ....

    KrupaDrums hahaha,that's funny about Donnie...UFO rules.

    K.... ....

    Blame the booze or the drugs, but behavior like that is just plain pathetic.

  97. C.... S....
