See the way he walks down the street
Watch the way he shuffles his feet
My, he holds his head up high
When he goes walking by
He’s my guy

When he holds my hand, I’m so proud
‘Cause he’s not just one of the crowd
Why is he always the one
To try the things they’ve never done?
And just because of that, they say:

"He’s a rebel and he’ll never ever be any good
He’s a rebel ’cause he never ever does what he should"
But just because he doesn’t do what everybody else does,
That’s no reason why I can’t give him all my love
He’s always good to me,
Always treats me tenderly
‘Cause he’s not a rebel, no no no
He’s not a rebel, no no no, to me

INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE

If they don’t like him that way,
They won’t like me, I’m sure, today
And I’ll be standing right by his side when they say:

"He’s a rebel and he’ll never ever be any good
He’s a rebel ’cause he never ever does what he should"
But just because he doesn’t do what everybody else does,
That’s no reason why we can’t share love
He’s always good to me
Good to him, I try to be
‘Cause he’s not a rebel, no no no
He’s not a rebel, no no no, to me
Oh! (he’s not a rebel, no no no)

He’s not a rebel, no no no
(repeat and fade out)
