Rock Your Body
M.V.P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I do know that I love you
You walk around this town
With your head all up in the sky
And I do know that I want you
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake your body down to the ground
Shake your body down to the ground
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake your body down to the ground
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake your body down to the ground
You tease me with your loving to play hard to get
Cause you do know that I want you
You walk around this town
With your head all up in the sky
And you do know that I want you
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake your body down to the ground
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake your body down to the ground
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake your body down to the ground
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake your body down to the ground
Shake it all down
You're the spark that lit the fire inside of me
And you do know that I love it
I need to do just something to get closer to your soul
And you do know that I want you
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake your body down to the ground
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake your body down to the ground
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake your body down to the ground
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake your body down to the ground
You tease me with your loving to play hard to get
Cause you do know that I want you
I need to do just something to get closer to your soul
And you do know that I want you
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake your body down to the ground
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake your body down to the ground
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake your body down to the ground
Let's dance, let's shout
Take it over
Down, down, down, down
Take it over
The lyrics of M.V.P's song "Rock Your Body" speak about the artist's love for someone they are attracted to. The song highlights the familiar feeling of wanting to pursue a person who seems out of reach. The lyrics acknowledge that the subject of the song is aware that the artist wants them, and the artist is also aware of the other person's headstrong nature. The singer is determined, however, and encourages the person to let go of the resistance and dance, hence the repetition of the lines "Let's dance, let's shout/Shake your body down to the ground."
The lyrics further expatiate on how the artist wants to know the other person better and to get closer to their soul. The other person's playful teasing that comes with "loving to play hard to get" ignites something in the artist, and they express their desire to have a closer relationship with the other person.
The song's infectious beat and the repetition of the lines "Let's dance, let's shout/Shake your body down to the ground" work together to make the song an energetic and upbeat dance floor anthem. The lyrics speak to anyone who has ever been attracted to another person and wanted to pursue them. Ultimately, the song communicates the idea that sometimes, the best way to get closer to someone is to let loose, let go of inhibitions, and dance.
