My Baby Don't Rock Like That
Jon Secada Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only want our privacy
My baby's ready willing all the time
She captivates my heart
And she blows my mind
She's a little kinky girl
Love her if you dare
My baby and I don't share
One on one
We share the ride we both provide
All night long
We take our time we do it right
We don't need nobody else besides ourselves
All we need
Is our favorite fantasy
CHORUS
My baby don't rock like that
We don't want nobody else sharin' our sack
My baby don't rock like that
We don't want nobody else sharing our secrets
My baby don't rock like that
She don't want nobody else seein' her tat
My baby don't rock like that
No, no, no
My girl's a naughty girl but she ain't cheap
And we both get nervous around each others heat
We like gettin' our party started
We like tryin' new things
But when it comes to making love
My girl and I don't swing, no, no
One on one
We share the ride we both provide
All night long
We take our time we do it right
We don't need nobody else besides ourselves
All we need
Is our favorite privacy
CHORUS OUT
My baby don't rock like that
We don't want nobody else sharin' our sack
My baby don't rock like that
We don't want nobody else sharing our secrets
My baby don't rock like that
She don't want nobody else seein' her tat
My baby don't rock like that
No, no, no
