Don't Rock The Boat
Bob Marley & The Wailers Lyrics

Please don't you rock my boat,
Asking someone not to disrupt my peaceful state of mind regarding my boat.

Cause I don't want my boat to be rockin' anyhow
Because I don't want unnecessary tensions or hassles regarding my boat.

Please don't you rock my boat, no!
The request is repeatedly made so that the boat remains safe from rocking.

I'm tellin' you that, oh, oo-er!
The statement is emphasized that the boat should not be rocked.

I like it like-a this. Can you hear?
I want things to be harmonious in a particular way and hope you can grasp that.

And you should know, ooh-oh!
It is expected that you are aware of my preferences.

When I like it-a like-a this
When things are the way I want them to be.

I'm-a really it, ooh-yeah!
I am very satisfied with the current state of things.

You satis - satis - satisfy my soul mornin' time,
You bring immense satisfaction to me, especially every morning.

Evenin', oh-oh! Fy my soul!
You continue to satisfy me throughout the evening and all day long.

Yes, I been a-tellin' you,
I have previously made it known to you.

Make me the sweetest case
Make me feel the happiest I can be.

Happy inside all the time
Keep me content and at peace with myself always.

Oh, can't you see what you've done for me?
You have an enormous positive impact on my life.

You make me feel like, when we bend a new corner,
You make me feel optimistic when facing new experiences or uncertainties.

We feel like sweepstake winner, yeah!
We feel extremely elated and victorious together.

And I said, oh! Ooh-oh! I like it-a like-a this
Again, I express my satisfaction and enjoyment of this particular situation.

I got it; just can't miss, ooh!
I truly have everything that I need, and I wouldn't want to lose it.

Satis - satisfy my soul, darlin'
Bring satisfaction to me, my dear.

Make me love you in the mornin' time, yeah
Help me be loving towards you every morning.

If ever I treated you bad, make it up to me one time
If I have wronged you in the past, please forgive me and offer your love once in return.

Cause I'm happy inside all the time
Because you make me feel internal happiness and joy long-term.

I want you beside me, yeah! - to be mine
I want you to be my partner and my lover, always by my side.

One thing you got to do
This is a thing you must do.

Is when-a we holdin' 'ands together
When we hold hands together.

You've got to know that we love-a - love eachother, yeah!
You should keep in mind that we love one another.

And if every time you should walk away from me now,
If you leave me every time.

You'll know I'll need your sympathy, yea-eah!
You must be aware that I need your sympathy, yes.

Can you see? Do you believe me?
Do you see me? Do you believe what I say?

Oh, darlin', darlin', I'm callin', callin'!
Oh, my dear, I am calling out to you.

Satisfy my soul - satisfy my soul!
Please keep making me feel internally satisfied and content.

Never, never, never give it up now
Do not let go of our love and our relationship.

All in the same boat
We are all going through this experience together.

Rockin on the same rock
We share the same foundation and experience all the ups and downs together.

Got to get together, lovin' eachother
We must come together and love each other every day.

And can't you see what I've got for you, yeah
Can't you see the enormous love and affection I hold for you?

I'm happy - happy - happy - happy - happy
I am incredibly happy.

And not even time to be blue, yeah
I don't have any time to be sad.

Come a little closer
Please come and get closer to me.
