Remember when somebody
Tried to tell you how to walk
And now they got the balls
To tell us how we should talk
Oh no, glove love ain’t cool
I must agree
So get outta my face
You ain’t got nothing on me
Some say they do
Some say they don’t
I take it in stride
And I can never get enough
If I don’t got to swallow my pride
I heard it all before and then
She told me “Gimme some slack”
Then she smiled at me and gave me
The shirt right off her back
And that’s when I took advantage of the situation
Don’t stop
Rockin’ your socks off
Don’t stop
Knockin’ their blocks off
Don’t stop
Gettin’ your rocks off
Don’t stop
Takin’ a hit, boy
Don’t stop
Shakin’ your fist, boy
Don’t stop
I ain’t got much to lose
I’m feelin’ so confused
There’s such a small thin line
Between pleasure and pain
And when you say don’t
Then it’s don’t stop
I got to complain
Yeah, I think I may be getting
Real tired of all the steam
Because it’s hard to get the way
You move out of my dreams
Got to get it while you can
Whenever you’re in doubt
You got to whip it out
When you keep hearin’ no
And your body says yes
But you can’t hear a word
That’s been said
But you gotta confess
Looking up her address
Got you thinkin’ with your other head
Don’t stop
Rockin’ your socks off
Don’t stop
Knockin’ their blocks off
Don’t stop
Gettin’ your rocks off
Don’t stop
Takin’ a hit, boy
Don’t stop
Shakin’ your fist, boy
Don’t stop
I ain’t got much to lose
I’m feelin’ so confused
