Rock Me
One Direction* Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wanna go back there every night
Just can't lie it was the best time of my life
Lying on the beach as the sun blew out
Playing this guitar by the fire too loud
Oh my my they could never shut us down
I used to think that I was better alone
Under the moonlight as we stared at the sea
The words you whispered I will always believe
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me, yeah
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me yeah
I want you to hit the pedal heavy metal show me you care
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me yeah
Yeah we were together summer '09
Wanna roll back like press and rewind
You were mine and we never said goodbye
I used to think that I was better alone (Better alone)
Why did I ever want to let you go?(Let you go)
Under the moonlight as we stared to the sea (Stared at the sea)
The words you whispered I will always believe
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me, yeah
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me yeah
I want you to hit the pedal heavy metal show me you care
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me yeah
R-O-C-K me again
R-O-C-K me again
R-O-C-K me again yeah
I want you to
R-O-C-K me again
R-O-C-K me again
R-O-C-K me again yeah
I want you to rock me, rock me, rock me, yeah
I want you to rock me, rock me, rock me yeah
I want you to hit the pedal heavy metal show me you care
I want you to rock me, rock me, rock me yeah
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me, yeah
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me yeah
I want you to hit the pedal heavy metal show me you care
I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me yeah
