You Got Me Rocking

About You Got Me Rocking

"You Got Me Rocking" is a song by the English rock and roll band The Rolling Stones, on their 1994 album Voodoo Lounge. The song received remixes by Paul Oakenfold and Steve Osborne, they at least produced three mixes of the track including the notable Perfecto Mix. Begun in early in 1993, "You Got Me Rocking" was initially a blues flavoured number; bootlegs have Jagger and Richards working the song as a slower, blues flavoured ramble, with Jagger shouting the hook "you got me rocking". Changed to a straightforward rocker in the vein of "Start Me Up", the song quickly evolved into a powerful rock single as Richards made the transition from piano to guitar. The lyrics moved to a more upbeat tone, as singer Mick Jagger presents redemption from a series of career ending instances of various professionals: The lyrics can be interpreted as an answer to the Rolling Stones' critics, who often deride the band for their advancing age. Recording on "You Got Me Rocking" lasted from mid-summer to early winter 1993, when final touches were put on. The song was released as a single in the UK in September 1994, where it reached No. 23. It was also released as a single in the US but reached only No. 113 in 1995. more »

I was a butcher cutting up meat 
My hands were bloody, I'm dying on my feet 
I was a surgeon 'till I start to shake 
I was a-falling 'till you put on the brakes 

Hey, hey, you got me rocking now 
Hey, hey, you got me rocking now 
Hey, hey, you got me rocking now 

I was a pitcher down in a slump 
I was a fighter taken for a sucker punch 
Feeling bad, guess I lost my spring 
I was the boxer who can't get in the ring 

Hey, hey, you got me rocking now 
Hey, hey, you got me rocking now 
Hey, hey, there ain't no stopping me 
Hey, hey, you got me rocking now 
Hey, hey, you got me rocking now 
Hey, hey, you got me rocking, alright 

I was a hooker losing her looks 
I was a writer can't write another book 
I was all dried up dying to get wet 
I was a tycoon drowning in debt, I said 

I said ah, hey, hey, you got me rocking now 
Hey, hey, you got me rocking now 
Hey, hey, there ain't no stopping me 
Hey, hey, you got me rocking now 
Hey, hey
Hey, hey, you got me rocking now 
Hey, hey
Hey, hey, you got me rocking now
 
That's all, really 
Come on, come on

Don't stop
Don't stop
Don't
Don't stop
Oh
Keep it going now 
Come on
Yeah, ay
