From the distance you looked so good
As I'm closer, you look better than you should
I wasn't lookin' 'til I looked in your eyes
Aah, you took me by surprise
Rock me, baby
Rock me in your arms
I should know better
I know the way you charm
The way you make me feel
I've not felt before
Rock me, baby
Rock me more
From the first time I was almost there
Your hands on me were so alive
You walked into me and saw me bare
Aah, you took me by surprise
Rock me, baby
Rock me in your arms
I should know better
I know the way you charm
The way you make me feel
I've not felt before
Rock me, baby
Rock me more
Rock me, baby
Rock me in your arms
I should know better
I know the way you charm
The way you make me feel
I've not felt before
Rock me, baby
Rock me more
Rock me, baby
Rock me in your arms
I know better
I know the way you charm
The way you make me feel
I've not felt before
Rock me, baby
Rock me more
Rock me, baby
