Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want you to rock me, baby

Rock me, baby, rock me all night long
I want you to rock me, baby, rock me all night long
I want you to rock me, baby, like my back ain't got no bone

Roll me, baby, roll me till you make me feel
I said roll me, baby, roll me till you make me feel
I said roll me, baby now, roll me till you make me feel
And I want you to do this for me, baby

I said roll me, baby now, roll me like you roll a, a big old wheel
I said roll, roll me, baby now, roll me like you roll a big old wheel
'Cause I know that you know, baby, you know how to make me feel

Roll me slow, roll me all night long
I said roll me, roll me slow, baby, roll me all night long
I said I know that you know that
I know that you know how to make me feel

I said rock me, baby, now rock me all night long
Say, baby you rock me, baby, rock me all night long
I said rock me, baby, like
Like my back ain't, my back ain't got no bone

Roll me, baby now, roll me like you roll a big old wheel




Roll me, baby now, roll me, roll me like you roll a big old wheel
I said I know that you know, you know how to make me feel
