All Night Long (faster Version
Muddy Waters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I want you to rock me, baby
After the sun goes down
I want you to rock me, mama
After the sun go down
I want you to hug and kiss me
Tell me you always be mine

I want you to rock me, baby
Rock me all night long
I want you to rock me, my love
Rock me all night long
I want you to rock me, baby
Like my back ain't got no bone

I want you to throw your arms around me
Like a circle round the sun
I want you to throw your arms around me
Like a circle round the sun




I want you to call me daddy
And let the world know
