You need a man that'll treat you like the woman you are
Those little boys are just fooling around with your heart
Whatcha gonna do now that you're all alone?
You need a rock not a rollin' sone
Yeah so when I'm bored
it just ain't enough
You need a man made of stronger stuff
Get ready

Rock steady all night long
Rock steady till the light of dawn
Slow and easy tried and true
Rock steady
Just me and you

You need somebody who will help you with your heavy load
Well I've been there baby
Lord give me a rock and roll
Well I can bend but I won't break
cause you ain't got what I can take
So when you're tired of those little girls
you want a woman that'll rock your world
Get ready

Rock steady all night long
Rock steady till the light of dawn
Slow and easy tried and true
Rock steady
Just me and you
Amateurs are clearly tought
They can't give you what you really want
When all the other have been untrue
I'll give you something you can hold on to

Rock steady all night long
Rock steady till the light of dawn
Slow and easy tried and true
Rock steady
Just me and you
