Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just wanna say I love you
All night long, alright!
Slap it to me
Rock me baby
Well rock me all night long
Well rock me baby
Well roll me baby
Until my back ain't got no bone
Well ball me baby
Well ball me all night long, if you can
Well ball me baby
Well ball me all night long, that feels pretty good
Well roll me baby
Until my back ain't got no bones
I ain't got no bones about you
Don't bother me, no not at all
Well rock me baby
Well rock me all night long, I know you can
Rock me baby
Well rock me all night long
Well rock me baby
Until my back ain't got no bone
I ain't got no bones about you
Don't bother me, no!
The lyrics of Blue Cheer's song "Rock Me Baby" are a straightforward expression of sexual desire and pleasure. The singer expresses his love and desire for his partner, whom he wants to "rock" all night long. He uses the metaphor of dancing, asking his partner to "ball" him or "roll" him, as a way to intensify their physical connection. He is totally in the moment and lost in the pleasure, not bothered by anything else. The repetition of the chorus, with its insistent demand to "rock" or "roll" the singer, captures the sexual urgency of the song, though it also amplifies its hypnotic and trance-like quality.
Overall, "Rock Me Baby" is a blues-inflected hard rock tune, featuring powerful guitar riffs, a driving bass line, and propulsive drumming. The instrumentation both underscores and intensifies the sexual dimension of the song, adding a visceral dimension to the lyrics. The song is notable for its raw energy and its infectiously catchy chorus, which make it a classic of its genre.
