Well, when I want to rock steady,
I know, I got to get ready
Close my eyes and I let myself go.
Listen to, oh, baby, let the music flow,
Turn on your light and stay with me a while
And ease your worried mind,
Turn on your light, now babe

And stay with me a while and rock steady.
Yeah, oh, now rock steady,
Yeah, rock, rock steady.
When my love gets a little bit too heavy,
She’s mine an’ I got to get ready.
Close my eyes and let myself go,
I listen too, yeah, and I let the
music flow.
Yeah, it’s flowing now.

Turn on your light and stay with me a while
And ease your worried mind,
Turn on your light
And stay with me a while and rock steady.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

Turn on your light and stay with me a while,
And ease your worried mind; turn on your light,
Stay with me a while
And rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock,
Babe, turn on your light
And ease your worried mind,
Yeah, turn on your little light,
Oh, and rock steady.
