Michael Jackson Vs. Justin Timberlake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't be so quick to walk away (dance with me)
I wanna rock your body, please stay (dance with me)
You don't have to admit you wanna play (dance with me)
Just let me rock you 'til the break of day (dance with me)

Got time, but I don't mind
Just wanna rock you, girl
I'll have whatever you have
Come on let's give it a whirl

See, I've been watchin' you
And I like the way you move
So go 'head, girl, just do it
That ass shakin' thing you do

So you grab your girls and you grab a couple more
And you all could meet me in the middle of the floor
Said the air is thick, it's smellin' right
So you pass to the left, then you sail to the right

Don't be so quick to walk away (dance with me)
I wanna rock your body, please stay (dance with me)
You don't have to admit you wanna play (dance with me)
Just let me rock you 'til the break of day (dance with me)

I don't mean no harm
Just wanna rock you, girl
You could move, but be calm
Let's go, let's give it a whirl

See, it appears to me
You like the way I move
I tell you what I'm gon' do
Pull you close and share my groove

So you grab your girls and you grab a couple more
And you all could meet me in the middle of the floor
Said the air is thick, it's smellin' right
So you pass to the left, then you sail to the right

Don't be so quick to walk away (dance with me)
I wanna rock your body, please stay (dance with me)
You don't have to admit you wanna play (dance with me)
Just let me rock you 'til the break of day (dance with me)

(Talk to me, boy) no disrespect, I don't mean no harm
(Talk to me, boy) but I can't wait to have you in my arms
(Talk to me, boy) hurry up 'cause you're takin' too long
(Talk to me, boy) bet I'll have you naked by the end of this song

So what did you come here for? (I came to dance with you)
When you know that you don't wanna hit the floor (get some romance with you)
Been searchin' for love forevermore (I'll take a chance)
If love is here on the floor, girl

Hey
Dance with me
Yeah
Come on, baby

Don't be so quick to walk away (dance with me)
I wanna rock your body, please stay (dance with me)
You don't have to admit you wanna play (dance with me)
Just let me rock you 'til the break of day (dance with me)

(Talk to me, boy) no disrespect, I don't mean no harm
(Talk to me, boy) I can't wait to have you in my arms
(Talk to me, boy) hurry up 'cause you're takin' too long
(Talk to me, boy) bet I'll have you naked by the end of this song

Don't be so quick to walk away (I was just thinkin' of you)
Don't be so quick to walk away (we could do somethin')
Don't be so quick to walk away (I like the way you look right now)
Don't be so quick to walk away (come over here, baby)

Are you feelin' me?
Let's do somethin'




Let's make a bet
'Cause I-I bet I'll have you naked by the end of this song

My life will never be the same
'Cause girl, you came and changed
The way I walk
The way I talk
I cannot explain these things I feel for you
But girl, you know it's true
Stay with me, fulfill my dreams
And I'll be all you'll need (oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh)
It feels so right (girl)
I've searched for the perfect love all my life (all my life)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh, it feels like I (like I)
Have finally found her perfect love is mine (see)
And I finally found, come on, girl
You rocked my world, you know you did
And everything I own I give (you rocked my world)
The rarest love who'd think I'd find
Someone like you to call mine (you rocked my world)
You rocked my world, you know you did (girl)
And everything I own I give (come on, girl)
The rarest love who'd think I'd find
Someone like you to call mine
In time I knew that love would bring
This happiness to me
I tried to keep my sanity
I waited patiently
Girl, you know it seems
My life is so complete
A love that's true because of you
Keep doing what you do (oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh)
Who'd think that I (oh)
Finally found the perfect love
I searched for all my life? (Searched for all my life)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, who'd think I'd find (whoa oh oh)
Such a perfect love
That's awesomely so right? (Whoa, girl)
You rocked my world, you know you did (come on, come on, come on, come on)
And everything I own I give
The rarest love who'd think I'd find (girl)
Someone like you to call mine (you rocked my world)
You rocked my world (you rocked my world), you know you did
And everything I own I give (girl, girl, girl)
The rarest love who'd think I'd find
Someone like you to call mine (girl)

Bro 🔥 i really love the original version of "Rock My World", but this one is just as perfect! So funky & accurate.

ricky BE

thankyou, glad you found it

Anahí Pons

i come here everyday to listen to this masterpiece

ricky BE

Thankyou anahipons, your most welcome

DJ Dufurst

@ricky BE I’m here because I heard either this version or someone else who had this idea in 2003 and this mashup idea was being played inside of a store while I was getting records. I wonder if it was your version or not.

ricky BE

@DJ Dufurst Thankyou dufurst. It sounds like that was a different version by someone else. I created this around the upload time. I hadnt heard anything similar before, or after come to think of it, it came from the heart. I think Id read that MJ was offered Rock Your Body and turned it down which planted the seed in my mind. Im glad you found it :)

DJ Dufurst

@ricky BE Right on. Yep, heard the same about the Justified album. This took place at the now closed "Straight Hits Vinylshop" in the SF Bay Area at the time when I heard a very similar mix to yours so awesome job. DJ J. Espinosa of KYLD 94.9 rang up my records that day and then I headed out without asking too much. 😁

ricky BE

@DJ Dufurst The good old days when you could buy music. I miss that.
