WRITER STEVE MILLER
Well, I been lookin' real hard and I'm tryin' to find
a job But it just keeps gettin' tougher every day But
I've got to do my part 'cause I know in my heart I've
got to please my sweet baby,
yeah Well, I ain't superstitious and I don't get suspicious
'Cause my woman is a friend of mine And I know that
it's true that all the things that I do Will come back
to me in my sweet time So keep on rockin' me,
baby Keep on a rockin' me baby Keep on a rockin' me
baby Keep on a rockin' me baby I went from Phoenix,
Arizona, all the way to Tacoma Philadelphia,
Atlanta, L.A. Northern California,
where the girls are warm So I could be with my sweet
baby, yeah Keep on a-rockin' me baby.
.. Baby, baby, baby Keep on rockin',
rockin' me baby Keep on a-rockin',
rockin' me baby Whoo-oo-oo-hoo-hoo-hoo,
yeah Don't get suspicious,
now don't be suspicious Babe,
you know you are a friend of mine And you know that
it's true that all the things that I do Are gonna come
back to you in your sweet time I went from Phoenix,
Arizona, all the way to Tacoma Philadelphia,
Atlanta, L.A. Northern California,
where the girls are warm So I could hear my sweet baby
say Keep on a-rockin' me, baby Keep on a rockin' me
baby Keep on a rockin' me baby Keep on a-rockin' me,
rockin' me, rockin' baby, baby,
baby Keep on a rockin' me baby {Repeat to fade}
