Rock Steady
Whispers (The) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You stole my heart
You were all that I anticipated
I wanted you
Every part but I knew that love would be complicated
I began to touch
But you wouldn't let it
It never seemed to be the right time
down to the limit
And then you changed your mind
And we begin to rock steady
Steady rockin' all night long
And we begin to rock steady
Rockin' till the break of dawn
You looked at me to my surprise
You were through anticipating
I should have known
It was in your eyes
That you were gettin' tired of waiting
You wanted me so much
But I didn't get it
How could a fellow be so blind?
I started to give up
But love wouldn't let it
Then you walked into my life
And we begin to rock steady
Steady rockin' all night long
And we begin to rock steady
Rockin' till the break of dawn
You wanted me so much
But I didn't get it
How could a fellow be so blind?
Started to give up
But love wouldn't let it
And you walked into my life
And we begin to rock steady
Steady rockin' all night long
And we begin to rock steady
Rockin' till the break of dawn
The lyrics to "Rock Steady" by The Whispers tell a story of two people who are attracted to each other but are hesitant to act on their feelings because they know that it could be complicated. At the beginning of the song, the singer is interested in the other person and wants to touch them, but the other person is not ready. Eventually, the other person changes their mind, and they both begin to "rock steady." The refrain of the song repeats the phrase "rock steady," which is a call to action to keep the groove going all night long until dawn.
The second verse of the song is a mirror of the first verse, but this time, it is the other person who is interested, and the singer is hesitant. It is revealed that the singer did not realize that the other person was interested because he was "so blind." However, they both eventually come together and "rock steady" until the break of dawn. The song is an ode to the power of love and the willingness to let go of inhibitions and "rock steady" with someone else.

Never forget this group! They stayed together. When a member got sick they paid his bills and when he couldnβt perform, they paid him the same!
