Lyrics:

[Lyrics by Babyface, L A Reid and D Ladd]

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, oooh

And we begin to rock steady
Steady rockin' all night long
And we begin to rock steady
Rockin' 'til the break of dawn

Rock, ooh, steady
Steady rockin’ all night long
Rock steady
Rockin' 'til the break of dawn

You looked at me, to my surprise
You were too 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' 'til the break of dawn

Rock, ooh, steady
Steady rockin’ all night long
(All night long)
Rock steady
Rockin' 'til the break of dawn
(Rockin' 'til the break of dawn)

Ooh, doo-ba, doo-ba, da

Rock
(Steady, baby, rock steady, baby)
Ooh, rock
(Steady, baby, rock steady, baby)

Rock
Ooh, rock

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, oooh, oh

And we begin to rock steady
Steady rockin' all night long
And we begin to rock steady
Rockin' 'til the break of dawn
(Rockin' 'til the break of dawn)

Rock, ooh, steady
Steady rockin' all night long
(All night long)
Rock steady
Rockin' 'til the break of dawn

(Everybody)
Rock steady
Steady rockin' all night long
Rock steady
Rockin' 'til the break of dawn

Rock (steady rock) steady
(St-st-st-steady rock)
Steady rockin' all night long
(Everybody steady rockin')
Rock steady
Rockin' 'til the break of dawn
(Rockin' 'til the break of dawn)

(Everybody steady rockin’)
