Rock steady, baby
That's what I feel now
Just call the song exactly what it is
Just move your hips with a feeling from side to side
Sit yourself down in your car and take a ride
While you're moving, rock steady
Rock steady, baby
Let's call this song exactly what it is
(What it is, what it is, what it is)
It's a funky and lowdown feeling (what it is)
In the hips from left to right (what it is)
what it is is I might be doin'
this funky dance all night
(put your hands up in the air)
(got a feelin' you ain't got a care)
(you gotta take this burn)?
(that tear we all inside)?
Rock steady, rock steady baby
Rock steady, rock steady baby
<instrumental>
Jump and move your hips with a feeling from side to side
Sit yourself down in your car and take a ride
While you're moving, rock steady
Rock steady
Let's call this song exactly what it is
(What it is, what it is, what it is)
It's a funky and lowdown feeling (what it is)
In the hips from left to right (what it is)
what it is is I might be doin'
this funky dance all night
(put your hands up in the air)
(got a feelin' you ain't got a care)
(you gotta take this burn)?
(that tear we all inside)?
Rock steady baby, rock steady
Rock steady
<instrumental>
(Rock steady, rock steady, what it is)
It's a funky and lowdown feeling (what it is)
In the hips from left to right (what it is)
what it is is I might be doin'
this funky dance all night
(put your hands up in the air)
(got a feelin' you ain't got a care)
(you gotta take this burn)?
(that tear we all inside)?
Rock steady, steady baby, rock steady, baby
Baby (what it is), baby, baby (what it is), baby...
