Hey
I would really like to talk with you
Girl
Do you have the time to stop
Say
All I want to do is rock
If this was any other day
I'd turn and walk the other way
But today
I'll stay
Not walk away

Hey
I'm a foot without a sock
Without you
Love
You seem to work around the clock
Say
All I want to do is rock
If this was any other day
I'd turn and walk the other way
But today
I'll stay
Not walk
Just rock

Hey
Love
Say
All I want to do is rock
If this was any other day
I'd turn and walk the other way
But today
I'll stay
