Standing across the room I saw you smile.
I said I want to talk to you for a little while.
But before I make my move my emotions start running wild.
My tongue gets tied and that's no lie.
I′m looking in your eye
I'm looking in your big brown eye.
(Ooh yeah)
(And I've got this to say to you)

Girl I want to make you sweat
Sweat ′til you can′t sweat no more.
And if you cry out I'm gonna push it some more.
Girl I want to make you sweat
Sweat ′til you can't sweat no more.
And if you cry out I′m gonna push it
Push it push it some more.

A La La La La Long

So I say to myself if she loves me or not
But the dread are known that love is here to get
And with a little bit of this and a little bit of that
The lyrics goes on the attack
My tongue gets tied
And thats no lie

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Sweat" by The Rocker Covers are about the intense physical attraction and desire the singer feels toward a woman he sees across the room. He knows he wants to talk to her, but as he approaches, he becomes overwhelmed with emotion and his tongue gets tied, making it difficult for him to speak. However, despite this, he knows what he wants, and that is to make her sweat until she can't sweat anymore. The repetition of "A La La La La Long" and "Li Long Long Long" creates a catchy, upbeat rhythm that matches the urgency of the singer's desires.


The lyrics are quite suggestive and controversial, as they seem to promote a sense of domination and forcefulness toward the woman. However, it is important to note that the song was originally written and performed by Inner Circle, a Jamaican reggae group in 1992. The Rocker Covers version is a cover, and they have maintained the original lyrics and melody. The lyrics have been interpreted in different ways, some people argue that the song is simply about sexual attraction, while others argue that it is more about the desire to connect with someone on a deeper level.


Overall, "Sweat" is a song that speaks to the intense attraction and desire that can be felt between two people. The singer wants to push the boundaries of physical sensation, and he is not afraid to do so.
