Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want you to rock me, baby
Rock me all night long
I want you to rock me, baby
Rock me all night long
I want you to rock me, baby
Until my back ain't got no bone.
I want you to love me, babe,
Keep on rocking, baby
See me comin', mama
Bring out that old rockin' chair
See me comin', mama
Bring out your rocking chair
No one's watching us
And god knows, no one cares
One more time
Rocking chair
Well ball me baby
Well ball me all night long (if you can)
Well ball me baby
Well ball me all night long (that feels pretty good)
Well roll me baby
Until my back ain't got no bones.
I ain't got no bones about you, don't bother me, no not at all!
Well rock me baby
Well rock me all night long
Rock me baby
Well rock me all night long
Well rock me baby
Until my back ain't got no bone.
I ain't got no bones about you, don't bother me, no!
Roll me baby, like you roll a wagon wheel
I want you to roll me baby,
Like you roll a wagon wheel
Want you to roll me baby,
You don't know how it makes me feel
Rock me baby, honey, rock me slow
Yeah, rock me pretty baby, baby rock me slow
Want you to rock me baby, till I want no more

Lyrics~
Well, I've been lookin' real hard
And I'm tryin' to find a job
But it just keeps gettin' tougher every day
But I got to do my part
'Cause I know in my heart
I got to please my sweet baby, yeah
Well, I ain't superstitious
And I don't get suspicious
But my woman is a friend of mine
And I know that it's true
That all the things that I do
Will come back to me in my sweet time
So keep on rock'n me, baby
Keep on rock'n me, baby
Keep on rock'n me, baby
Keep on rock'n me, baby
I went from Phoenix, Arizona
All the way to Tacoma
Philadelphia, Atlanta, L.A.
Northern California
Where the girls are warm
So I could be with my sweet baby, yeah
Keep on rock'n me, baby
Keep on rock'n me, baby
Keep on rock'n me, baby
Keep on rock'n me, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Keep on rock'n
Rock'n me, baby
Keep on rock'n
Rock'n me, baby
Woo-hoo, yeah
Don't get suspicious
Now don't be suspicious
Babe, you know you are a friend of mine
And you know that it's true
That all the things that I do
Are gonna come back to you in your sweet time
I went from Phoenix, Arizona
All the way to Tacoma
Philadelphia, Atlanta, L.A.
Northern California
Where the girls are warm
So I could hear my sweet baby say
Keep on rock'n me, baby
Keep on rock'n me, baby
Keep on rock'n me, baby
Keep on rock'n me, rockin' me, rockin'
Baby, baby, baby

First heard this in GTA5, then heard it in real life in Cleveland, what an experience.
@santiagoconde1421
This song + Trevor's truck + Grand Senora Desert is the best combination.

This is what us American kids grew up with in the 70's. No internet, no smartphones. Just an AM radio.

Believe me, they were simpler and for me a lot happier than this PCworld filled with Crap Rap, Hip-Hop, Techno music.

It's a shame really. In this advanced day and age, it's so easy to imagine the 70s as a boring decade.
