Lyrics

Rockin' Around (With You)

[Verse 1]

Why be lonely

Why be blue

You got me, babe

I got you

[Refrain]

And I can't stop thinking about

How I dig rockin' around with you

[Verse 2]

I was waiting

You came through

You knew no one

Else will do

[Refrain]

And I can't stop thinking about

How I dig rockin' around with you

[Outro]

You

You know I dig rockin' around

You know I dig rockin' around

You know I dig rockin' around

You know I dig rockin' around

You know I dig rockin' around

You know I dig rockin' around

You know I dig rockin' around

You know I dig rockin' around
