Lyrics:
Rock steady, baby! That's what I feel now Let's call the song exactly what it is Step and move your hips With a feeling from side to side Sit yourself down in your car And take a ride And while you're moving Rock steady Rock steady, baby
Let's call this song exactly what it is (What it is -what it is - what it is) It's a funky and low down feelin’ (What it is) In my hips from left to right (What it is) What it is is I might be doing (What it is) This funky dance all night Oh! (Got my hands up in the air) Oh! (Got a feeling and ain't got a care) Oh! (But you gotta take this ride Put the devil on his side)
Rock steady — rock steady, baby Rock steady — rock steady, baby
Step and move your hips With a feeling from side to side Sit yourself down in your car And take a ride While you're moving rock steady Rock steady
Let's call this song exactly what it is (What it is -what it is - what it is) It's a funky and low down feelin’ (What it is) In my hips from left to right (What it is) What it is is I might be doing (What it is) This funky dance all night Oh! (Got my hands up in the air) Oh! (Got a feeling and ain't got a care) Oh! (But you gotta take this ride Put the devil on his side)
Rock steady, baby Rock steady ... woo! Rock steady
(Rock... steady!... rock... steady!)
(What it is) It's a funky and low down feeling' (What it is) In my hips from left to right (What it is) What it is is I might be doing (What it is) This funky dance all night Oh! Oh! (Wave your hands up in the air) Oh! Oh! (Got the feeling and ain't got a care) Oh! Oh! (But you gotta take this ride Put the devil on his side)
Rock steady Steady, baby! Rock...rock steady, baby Baby (What it is) Baby, baby (What it is) Baby (What it is) Baby...
*******************
An icon of 20th and 21st century music, the voice of the civil rights movement, and the undisputed Queen of Soul—there is only one Aretha Franklin. In her incredible six-decade career, Aretha evolved from teenage gospel star to reigning pop and R&B diva, recording classics like “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” “Chain Of Fools”, “Think” (lyrics by Aretha Franklin), definitive versions of the songs “Respect” and “I Say a Little Prayer”, and global hits like “Freeway Of Love,” “I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)”, and “A Rose Is Still A Rose.” Altogether, 112 of her singles reached the charts, with 20 No. 1 R&B singles, the most ever by a female artist. She won 18 Grammy Awards (including the first eight trophies for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance) and, out of recognition for her for indelible contribution to American music and culture, received both the Presidential Medal Of Freedom and a Pulitzer Prize.
