Rock Your body
The U.S. Navy Seabees Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's been so long since I felt my man
I wish he would put me on and wear me out
'Cause I don't know how long I can hang around
I don't belong here
With the rest of you off the rack clothes
'Cause I'm custom, how dare you
'Cause I was born to be worn
Custom fit to make you feel legit
I was expensive, excessive
Now you're too embarrassed to wear me 'round the house
I'm black and I'm white
I go with silver, I go with gold
You can't keep me in this bag forever
I'm gonna bust on through to you
She was born to wrap your body, baby
She was born to wrap your body, baby
I was never for you
I was always for someone else
I gotta bust on through to you, yeah
She was born to wrap your body, baby, oh
I was your passport to so many rooms
Your mask of pure exclusivity
Now you treat me like a long gone novelty
A costume, is that how you see me?
I was never for you
I was always for someone else
I gotta bust on through to you
Got nothing to do
Black tie is on the shelf
What's an empty tuxedo supposed to do?
She was born to wrap your body, baby
She was born to wrap your body, baby
I was never for you
I was always for someone else
I gotta bust on through to you
She was born to wrap your body, baby, oh
Don't say you got nowhere to go, man
Use it or lose it
Don't say you got nowhere to go, man
Use it or lose it
Don't say you got nowhere to go, man
Use it or lose it
Don't say you got nowhere to go, man
Use it or lose it
I was never for you
I was always for someone else
I gotta bust on through to you, yeah
She was born to wrap your body, baby
What's an empty tuxedo supposed to do?
I know it may not feel quite right
But put on your bowtie tonight
I know it may not feel quite right
But put on your bowtie tonight
Your body fills me, boo
I know it may not feel quite right
But put on your bowtie tonight
I know it may not feel quite right
I know it may not feel quite right
But put on your bowtie tonight
Don't know just what to do
I know it may not feel quite right
But put on your bowtie tonight
I know it may not feel quite right, right, right, right, right
She was born to wrap your body, baby
Your body fills me, boo
She was born to wrap your body, baby
She was born to wrap your body, baby
Don't know just what to do
She was born to wrap your body, baby
(Right, right, right, right)
I know it may not feel quite right
But put on your bowtie tonight
I know it may not feel quite right
She was born to wrap your body, baby
The lyrics to "Rock Your Body" by The U.S. Navy Seabees seem to depict a relationship that has lost its spark and the singer feeling neglected and unappreciated. The opening lines express a sense of loneliness and suffocation, symbolized by the metaphor of being trapped in a plastic bag. The singer longs for their partner to acknowledge them and give them the attention they deserve, as they feel they are custom-fit for their significant other.
The lyrics further highlight the singer's disappointment in being treated like just another ordinary item of clothing, when they consider themselves unique and special. They feel like they were born to be worn by their partner, to make them feel important and authentic. The singer realizes that they were never meant for their current partner, but for someone else who would appreciate and value them. The chorus emphasizes this point and the desire to break through to their partner's heart and be recognized.
As the song progresses, the singer confronts their partner's disregard for their value and laments being seen as a mere novelty or costume. They reflect on being a passport to various experiences and exclusive spaces for their partner, only to be cast aside. The lyrics suggest a longing for connection and a plea for their partner to understand the emptiness they feel without them.
The repeated lines towards the end of the song, "I know it may not feel quite right, but put on your bowtie tonight" convey a call to action, urging the partner to make an effort to reconnect and revive the relationship. The bowtie symbolizes a formal attire that represents a committed and put-together appearance, suggesting a desire for their partner to make an effort to rekindle the love they once had.

Got nothing to do
I am left unused and idle
Black tie is on the shelf
The formal attire is disregarded and neglected
What's an empty tuxedo supposed to do?
How can an unused tuxedo fulfill its purpose?
Don't say you got nowhere to go, man
Don't claim to have no options or opportunities
Use it or lose it
If you don't make use of your resources, you'll lose them
I know it may not feel quite right
I understand it may not be comfortable or familiar
But put on your bowtie tonight
Nevertheless, wear your classy attire tonight
Your body fills me, boo
I fit and complement your physique perfectly
Don't know just what to do
I'm unsure of how to proceed
(Right, right, right, right)
(Yes, yes, yes, yes)
