  • 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 feeling (what it is)
    In my hips from left to right (what it is)
    What it is, is I might be doin' (what it is)
    This funky dance all night, ohh
    (Wave your hands up in the air)
    (Got a feeling and ain't got a care) ohh
    (What fun to take this ride, rock steady will only slide)

    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 feeling (what it is)
    In my hips from left to right (what it is)
    What it is, is I might be doin' (what it is)
    This funky dance all night, ohh
    (Wave your hands up in the air)
    (Got a feeling and ain't got a care) ohh
    (What fun to take this ride, rock steady will only slide)

    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 doin' (what it is)
    This funky dance all night, ohh
    (Wave your hands up in the air) ohh
    (Got a feeling and ain't got a care) ohh
    (What fun to take this ride) ohh
    (Rock steady will only slide)

    Rock steady, steady, baby, uh
    Rock steady, baby

    Baby (what it is)
    Baby, baby (what it is), baby Writer/s: Aretha Franklin
