Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You need a man that'll treat you like the woman you are
Those little boys are just foolin' around with your heart
Whatcha gonna do now that you're all alone?
You need a rock, not a rollin' stone
[Verse 2]
Ay, so, when a boy just ain't enough
You need a man made of stronger stuff
Get ready
[Verse 3]
Ay
Rock steady all night long
Rock steady till the light of dawn
Slow and easy, tried and true
Rock steady, just me and you
[Verse 4]
Just me and you, baby
[Verse 5]
You need somebody that 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't take
So when you're tired of them little girls
You want a woman that'll rock your world
Get ready, yeah whoa
[Verse 6]
Rock steady all night long
Rock steady till the light of dawn
Slow and easy, tried and true
Rock steady, just me and you
[Verse 7]
Rock steady, baby
Amateurs and dilettantes
They can't give you what you really want
When all the others have been untrue
I'll give you somethin' you can hold on to
[Verse 8]
Oh
[Verse 9]
Rock steady all night long
Rock steady till the light of dawn
Slow and easy, tried and true
Rock steady baby, me and you
[Verse 10]
Whoa, baby
Rock steady
Whoa, rock steady
You know what I'm talkin' about
Come on and rock it, baby
Oh, won't you rock it, baby?
Come on and rock it, baby
I'm gonna rock you, baby
Oh
Rock steady all night long
[Verse 11]
Thank you, everybody
Thanks, everybody
[Verse 12]
I'd like to bring Jackson Browne out here to sing it
