Lyrics:
Boy, you know you make me float
Boy, you really get me high
I feel like I'm on dope
'Cause you, you serve me on a regular
Boy, we need to tie this rope
Before we drift any deeper
Baby, now hold me close
Let's take this overboard now

I want you to rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat, rock the boat
Work the middle
Work the middle, work the middle, work the middle
Change positions on me
New positions, new position
Stroke it for me
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me, stroke it for me

Ooh, baby, I love your stroke
'Cause you, 'cause you get me where I'm going
And truly you'll get my vote
'Cause I believe
I believe you know just what you're doing now
Baby, now we can coast
Let's don't get in a hurry
That's too slow
Go ahead and put that thing in overdrive

Rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat, rock the boat
Work the middle
Work the middle, work the middle, work the middle
Change positions on me
New position, new position
Stroke it for me
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me, stroke it for me

Rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat, rock the boat
Work the middle
Work the middle, work the middle, work the middle
Change positions on me
New position, new position
Stroke it for me
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me, stroke it for me

Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
Stroke it, baby, stroke it, baby
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me,
Work it it, baby, work it, baby
Ooh, stroke it
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me

I want you to use yourself
Like you never ever used it before
To explore my body (explore it baby)
Until you reach the shore
I'll be calling, calling for more

Rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat, rock the boat
Work the middle
Work the middle, work the middle, work the middle
Change positions on me
New position, new position
Stroke it for me
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me, stroke it for me

Rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat, rock the boat
Work the middle
Work the middle, work the middle, work the middle
Change positions on me
New position, new position
Stroke it for me
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me, stroke it for me

Rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat, rock the boat
Work the middle
Work the middle, work the middle, work the middle
Change positions on me
New position, new position
Stroke it for me
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me, stroke it for me

Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
