Rock With You (Live at Wembley Stadium, July 16, 1988) Lyrics
[Intro]
[Scatting]
I think I wanna rock
[Verse 1]
Girl, close your eyes
Let that rhythm get into you
Don't try to fight it
There ain't nothin' that you can do
Just relax your mind
Lay back and groove with mine
[Pre-Chorus]
You gotta feel the heat
And we can ride the boogie
Share that beat of love
[Chorus]
I wanna rock with you (All night)
Dance you into day (Sunlight)
I wanna rock with you, yeah (All night)
We're gonna rock the night away
[Verse 2]
Out on the floor
There ain't nobody there but us
Girl, when you dance
There's a magic that must be love
Just take it slow, yeah
We got so far to go
[Scatting]
I think I wanna rock
[Verse 1]
Girl, close your eyes
Let that rhythm get into you
Don't try to fight it
There ain't nothin' that you can do
Just relax your mind
Lay back and groove with mine
[Pre-Chorus]
You gotta feel the heat
And we can ride the boogie
Share that beat of love
[Chorus]
I wanna rock with you (All night)
Dance you into day (Sunlight)
I wanna rock with you, yeah (All night)
We're gonna rock the night away
[Verse 2]
Out on the floor
There ain't nobody there but us
Girl, when you dance
There's a magic that must be love
Just take it slow, yeah
We got so far to go
[Pre-Chorus]
When you feel that heat
And we're gonna ride the boogie
Share that beat of love
[Chorus]
I wanna rock with you (All night)
Dance you into day (Sunlight)
I wanna rock with you, yeah (All night)
We're gonna rock the night away, yeah
[Bridge]
And when the grove is dead and gone
You know that love survives
So we can rock forever on
I wanna rock with you
I wanna groove with you
Oh yeah, rock with me, all night long (All night long)
Shake your thang (Shake your thang)
Come on, girl, rock with me
I wanna rock with you
I wanna groove with you
[Chorus]
I wanna rock (All night) with you, girl (Sunlight)
Rock with you, rock with you, yeah (All night)
We gon' dance the night away
I wanna rock with you, yeah (All night)
Rock you into day (Sunlight)
I wanna rock with you (All night)
Rock the night away
When you feel that heat
And we're gonna ride the boogie
Share that beat of love
[Chorus]
I wanna rock with you (All night)
Dance you into day (Sunlight)
I wanna rock with you, yeah (All night)
We're gonna rock the night away, yeah
[Bridge]
And when the grove is dead and gone
You know that love survives
So we can rock forever on
I wanna rock with you
I wanna groove with you
Oh yeah, rock with me, all night long (All night long)
Shake your thang (Shake your thang)
Come on, girl, rock with me
I wanna rock with you
I wanna groove with you
[Chorus]
I wanna rock (All night) with you, girl (Sunlight)
Rock with you, rock with you, yeah (All night)
We gon' dance the night away

Just feel the heat, go with the beat (All night)
Rock you into day (Sunlight)
I wanna rock (All night)
I wanna rock with you

Rock you into day (Sunlight)
