Lyrics
Alisha’s Attic
Japanese Dream
He’s A Rebel
(the crystals)
See the way he walks down the street
Watch the way he shuffles his feet
How he holds his head up high
When he goes walking by
He’s my guy
If he holds my hand, i’m so proud
¡®cause he’s not just one of the crowd
I think he’s always the one to try
The things i’ve never done
And just because of that
They will say, hey
He’s a rebel and he’ll never ever be any good
He’s a rebel ¡®cause he never ever does
What he should
And just because he doesn’t do what
Everybody else does
That’s no reason why
I can’t give him all my love
He is always good to me
Always treats me tenderly
He’s not a rebel no, no, no
He’s not a rebel no, no, no to me
If they don’t like him that way
They won’t like me after today
I’ll be standing by his side
When they say
(repeat 1)
And just because he doesn’t do
What everybody else does
That’s no reason why
We can’t share a love
(repeat 2)
He’s not a rebel, no, no, no
