Boy you know you make me float
Boy you really get me high
I feel like I’m on dope
‘Cause you serve me on a regular
Boy you gotta stroke
Before drifting me deeper
Your there now hold me close
Boy let’s take this overboard now
I want you to
(rock the boat)
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
(work it in the middle)
Work the middle, work the middle
Work the middle, work the middle
(change positions for me)
Change positions, new positions
New positions, new positions
(now stroke it baby)
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
Ooooh baby I love your stroke
Cause you, cause you get me to where I’m going
In a jury you’ll get my vote
‘Cause I believe, I believe you know just what you doing now
Baby now we can coast
Let’s do it in a hurry
That’s too slow
Go ahead and put that thing in over drive
I want you to
(rock the boat)
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
(work it in the middle)
Work the middle, work the middle
Work the middle, work the middle

Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
I want you to
(rock the boat)
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
(work it in the middle)
Work the middle, work the middle
Work the middle, work the middle
(change positions for me)
Change positions, new positions
New positions, new positions
(now stroke it baby)
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
I need you to use yourself
Like you never ever used it before
To explore my body
Until you reach the shore
You’ll be calling, calling for more
(rock the boat)
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
(work it in the middle)
Work the middle, work the middle
Work the middle, work the middle
(change positions for me)

New positions, new positions
(now stroke it baby)
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
I want you to
(rock the boat)
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
(work it in the middle)
Work the middle, work the middle
Work the middle, work the middle
(change positions for me)
Change positions, new positions
New positions, new positions

Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
