You Rock Me
Enrique Iglesias Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Swing baby swing, you're playing with my can
And it feels right
Jump baby jump, I'm one step behind
And it's alright
You got one mile to go, and your tank is still full
And you don't stop (no, you don't stop)

You say, hold on tight, for the ride

Ya, you're my destination
And you rock me, all night long
Yeah, you push me, all night long
Yeah you love me, all night long
You rock me all night long
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Come baby come, you got me blowing up
And it feels right
Slide baby slide, you're not the girl
To put up a stop sign
A bullet to my head and they're driving me insane
And they don't stop

You say, hold on tight, for the ride
Ya, you're my destination
And you rock me, all night long
Yeah, you push me, all night long
Yeah you love me, all night long
You rock me all night long
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Live baby live, there for today
Fly baby fly, let's get away
We don't care what they think, what they say
And you know, yeah you know

That you rock me
Yeah, you rock me, oh yeah
De, de, de, de rock me, all night long
Yeah you push me, all night long
Yeah you love me all night long
You rock me all night long
You rock me all night long

You rock me all night long

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Enrique Iglesias's You Rock Me convey a passionate message of being wholly engulfed in a romantic relationship, where the two lovers seemingly cannot get enough of each other's company. The first verse describes physical intimacy, where the girl is "playing with [his] can" and he is "one step behind" to keep up with her. The second verse suggests risk-taking behavior, with the girl being compared to someone who wouldn't put up a stop sign while driving, and the guy feeling like he's being driven insane with the emotional highs and lows.

However, the chorus evokes a sense of comfort and reassurance. The girl is the guy's "destination" and rocks him all night long, pushes him all night long, and loves him all night long. They both are unafraid of external judgment ("We don't care what they think, what they say") and live in the moment, flying away from their worries.

The song's deeper meaning might point to the fact that, in love, one's partner can feel like their rock, their support system they need to tide over the troubles and sail through the good times. Just like how the chorus reiterates that the girl rocks the guy all night long, she could be the one pushing him to his goals, inspiring him, and being a partner he can count on.

Line by Line Meaning

Swing baby swing, you're playing with my can
You're teasing me and I like it

And it feels right
I'm enjoying it

Jump baby jump, I'm one step behind
I'll follow you anywhere

And it's alright
I'm okay with it

You got one mile to go, and your tank is still full
You've got a lot left to give

And you don't stop (no, you don't stop)
You keep going

You say, hold on tight, for the ride
You're in control and I trust you

Ya, you're my destination
I'm following you wherever you go

And you rock me, all night long
You make me feel good

Yeah, you push me, all night long
You challenge me

Yeah you love me, all night long
You care for me

Come baby come, you got me blowing up
You're exciting me

Slide baby slide, you're not the girl
You're bold and confident

To put up a stop sign
You're not stopping anything

A bullet to my head and they're driving me insane
You're making me crazy (in a good way)

And they don't stop
You just keep going

Live baby live, there for today
Live in the moment

Fly baby fly, let's get away
Let's escape from it all

We don't care what they think, what they say
We'll do our own thing

And you know, yeah you know
You're aware of your effect on me

That you rock me
You make me feel good

Yeah, you rock me, oh yeah
You really make me feel good

De, de, de, de rock me, all night long
You're rocking me all night long

You rock me all night long
You're consistently making me feel good
