They began as The Buckeyes around 1955 with members Bruce Robinson and Ronnie Collins, and released two singles on the Cincinnati label Deluxe Records in 1957. In 1959 the group added Leroy Swearingen and released their first single as The Stereos, "A Love for Only You"; it flopped, and Swearingen left the group to be replaced by Nathaniel Hicks.[1] Swearingen, however, wrote the song "I Really Love You", which became their biggest hit, peaking at #15 on the U.S. Black Singles chart and #29 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2] They continued releasing singles up until 1968, none of which came close to reaching the success of "I Really Love You".
George Harrison covered "I Really Love You" for his 1982 album Gone Troppo.

Rock it with me like you just don't care
Throw ya hands up, get 'em up high
Rock it with me and we'll go all night
Throw ya hands up, put 'em in the air
Rock it with me like you just don't care
Throw ya hands up, get 'em up high
Rock it with me and we'll go all night
We started up front, and then we moved back
Gotta let yourself go if your feelin' my track
Come on and get live, and rock it with me
You don't gotta worry 'bout it
Now, all you gonna do
Is throw ya hands up if it's right with you
The record gonna pop and we never gonna stop
Rock it with me, you don't gotta worry 'bout it
(you don't gotta worry bout it)
Throw ya hands up, put 'em in the air
Rock it with me like you just don't care
Throw ya hands up, get 'em up high
Rock it with me and we'll go all night
Throw ya hands up, put 'em in the air

Making it pop, like the champagne top

It's only popping off if your ready to take a ride
I'ma get you hot make you sweat baby
We can fly with the Stereos, on a journey to the other side
Jet Black Cadillac, and the back legs high
I can get with you shawty, your percent is so right
Body so off the hook, ya give a playa butterflies
Be my pleasure for the rest of the night
Throw ya hands up, put 'em in the air
Rock it with me like you just don't care

Rock it with me and we'll go all night
Throw ya hands up, put 'em in the air

Throw ya hands up, get 'em up high
Rock it with me and we'll go all night
Throw ya hands up, come on throw ya hands up.
