Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby, who you been seein' since your man's gone
Tellin' all those cheap, cheap lies, you
Hopin' that his eyes won't see through you, yeah
Well baby, I can play it, there's something I just got to do
I got to slumpin' and you know that it's true
You got the sure shockin', hit rockin' movements
Come on and rock me till I'm ready to rock (rock me, baby)
Rock me till I'm ready to drop
Baby, who you been lovin' since your man's gone (man's gone)
Baby, who you been seein' since your man's gone (man's gone)
Tellin' everybody that you just don't
Really need love from anyone
Baby, who you been lovin' since your man's gone (man's gone)
Baby, who you been seein' since your man gone (man's gone)
Rock me till I'm ready to rock (rock me, baby)
Rock me till I'm ready to drop
Baby, who you been lovin' since your man's gone (man's gone)
Hey baby, who you been seein' since your man gone (man's gone)
I'm sayin' baby, who you been lovin' since your man's gone
(Baby, who you been lovin')
Ooh honey, who you been seein' since your man gone
(Baby, who you been lovin')
I'm sayin' baby, who you been lovin' since your man's gone
(Baby, who you been lovin')
Honey who you been sleepin' with, your man's gone
(Baby, who you been lovin')
Baby, who you been walkin' with, your man's gone
(Baby, who you been lovin')
Honey, who you been lovin'
The lyrics to Kiss' song "Rock Me Baby" are essentially a man questioning his lover's fidelity since her "man" has been gone. He accuses her of telling "cheap" lies and pretending that she doesn't need love from anyone. He reveals that he can "play it," meaning that he can see through her deception, and that he's been slumping (presumably feeling down) as a result. Despite his anger and suspicion, he can't resist her "shockin', hit rockin' movements" and asks her to rock him until he's ready to "drop." Throughout the song, the man hounds his lover with the repeated question, "Baby, who you been lovin' since your man's gone?"
