[Verses 1/2]
Have you heard? She's back in town
They say the man that she loved was messing around
That didn't please her
So she's starting all over again
She's got the situation well in hand
She's in no hurry for just any man
She ain't worried she's her own sensation at
Taking care of what she needs
[Chorus]
And she'll be
Rockin' the man in the boat (Rockin' the man in the boat)
Rockin' the man in the boat (Rockin' the man)
Hummin' and strummin' the tune that she wrote
Well she'll be rockin' the man in the boat
[Verses 3/4]
Latе at night she's all alone
Turn down the lights and unplug thе phone
She's got the feeling
She's gonna start reeling it in
So nice she's letting go
You know the cat's in the cradle, she's running the show
Higher and higher, up and down and all around
Rolly-coaster out of control
[Chorus]
And she'll be
Rockin' the man in the boat (Rockin' the man in the boat)
Rockin' the man in the boat (Rockin' the man)
Hummin' and strummin' the tune that she wrote
Well she'll be rockin' the man in the boat
[Middle 8]
(Feels so good)
Just like she knew it would
(Feels so fine)
She's finally crossing over the line
[Verses 5/6]
I'm watching her day by day
Blow by blow, and play by play
Telescope love
How long can I go on this way?
You know I'd love to lend a helping hand
You're such a good singer let me join in your band
She don't need it, she's her own sensation
She don't need it, got a good vibration
She don't need it, be no imitation at
Taking care of what she needs
[Chorus]
And she'll be
Rockin' the man in the boat (Rockin' the man in the boat)
Rockin' the man in the boat (Rockin' the man)
Hummin' and strummin' the tune that she wrote
Well she'll be rockin' the man in the boat
(Rockin' the man in the boat) Rockin' the man in the boat
(Rockin' the man in the boat) Rockin' the man yeah
Hummin' and strummin' the tune that she wrote
Well she'll be rockin' the man in the boat
