| Rock Rock steady [Verse 1:] I looked at you You stole my heart You were all that I anticipated I wanted you Every part But I knew love would be complicated I begin to touch But you wouldn’t let it It never seemed to be the right time I started to give up Down to the limit And then you changed your mind, whoa [Chorus:] And we begin to rock steady Steady rocking all night long And we begin to rock steady Rocking till the break of dawn Rock (ooh) Steady Steady rocking all night long Rock steady Rocking till the break of dawn [Verse 2:] You looked at me To my surprise You were too anticipating I should have known It was in your eyes That you were getting 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 [Chorus:] And we begin to rock steady Steady rocking all night long And we begin to rock steady Rocking till the break of dawn Rock (ooh) Steady Steady rocking all night long (All night long) Rock steady Rocking till the break of dawn (Rocking till the break of dawn) Ooh, dooba, dooba, da Rock (Steady, baby, rock steady, baby) Ooh, rock (Steady, baby, rock steady, baby) Rock Ooh, rock [Bridge:] You wanted me so much But I didn’t get it How could a fellow be so blind?
