Rock With You
Quincy Jones Feat. Brandy Heavy D Lyrics

Uh (oh yeah)
Expressing excitement and anticipation

Bring the funk
Play music that is rhythmic and danceable

Big Heav in da house
Heavy D is present and ready to perform

Yeah, get down
Encouraging audience to enjoy and dance to music

Talk about it, huh (umm mmmh)
Inviting discussion or reflection about the music

Check this out
Attention-getting phrase to indicate introduction of something new

Original (oh oh oh)
Stating the music is unique and fresh

Keep it movin'
Encouraging continuation of positive energy and momentum

Baby don't stop
Asking the partner to continue dancing and enjoying the music

Love the way we doin' Hip Hop
Appreciating the style and execution of the music genre

Oh yeah, like this
Expressing approval for the current music and dance style

Check it (oh whoah oh)
Attention-grabbing phrase to emphasize the next section of the song

A-yo
Attention-getting phrase to indicate introduction of something new

Rock you, I got you
Assuring the partner that they will be danced with and entertained by the performer

Tru dat, now who dat?
Confirming statement and asking for identification of person being referred to

But you at? Brandy

Boy, close your eyes
Inviting the partner to enjoy and feel the music

Let the rhythm get into you
Allowing oneself to be immersed in the musical beat

Don't try to fight it
Encouraging the partner to let go and fully embrace the music

There ain't nothing that you can do, oh oh
Suggesting that resistance to the music is futile

Relax your mind
Encouraging the partner to let go of worries or stress and enjoy the moment

Lay back and groove with my mine
Inviting the partner to connect and enjoy the music together

You gotta feel that heat
Encouraging the partner to fully experience the energy of the music

And we can ride the boogie
Together, we can dance to the music and enjoy each other's company

Finding and enjoying love through the shared experience of music and dance

I wanna rock with you (all the night)
Expressing the desire to dance and enjoy music for a prolonged period

Dance you into day ('til the sunlight)
Describing the experience of dancing and enjoying music until morning

Rock the night away

Boy, out on the floor
Returning to addressing the dance partner

There ain't nobody there but us

Boy, when you dance, when you dance
Emphasizing the importance and allure of the partner's movements

There's a magic that must be love, oh oooh
Suggesting that the feeling and connection between the partners is more than just physical attraction

Just take it slow, uh
Advising the partner to pace themselves and enjoy the moment

We got so far to go
Acknowledging that there is a long night ahead with plenty of time to enjoy each other's company

And we're gonna ride the boogie
Continuing to invite the partner to share the musical experience

And when the groove is dead and gone (dead and gone)
Looking to the future and acknowledging that the night will eventually come to an end

You know that love survives
Believing that love will persist and endure beyond the night or the music

And we can rock forever, oh whoa oh
