“You Rock My World” is the lead single from Jackson’s final studio album released in his lifetime,
Invincible.
Produced by Rodney Jerkins and Michael Jackson, this song has a laid-back style, reflecting how Jackson was getting older and starting to settle down (he was 42 at the time of recording).

[Skit: Chris Tucker & Michael Jackson]
Oh man! Look at that girl right there!
Goodness gracious! Uh! That girl's fine, man!
Look at it, she just too fine! She know she fine, too!
She is banging!
She's off the hook!
She looks good, you're right
Ahh-uh-uh-uh-uh, I bet you, can't nobody get that girl
Chris, I can get her
You can't get that girl, Mike
I guarantee you can't get that girl!
Watch me get that girl
I bet you never-Neverland, you can't
I can get her
All right! Shamone, then, shamone!
Watch
[Intro: Michael Jackson]
I don't think they're ready for this one
Darkchild, I like that
I, I, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
[Verse 1: Michael Jackson]
My life will never be the same
'Cause girl, you came and changed
The way I walk, the way I talk
And I cannot explain
The things I feel for you
But girl, you know it's true
So stay with me, fulfill my dreams
I'll be all you'll need
[Pre-Chorus: Michael Jackson]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh, it feels so right (Girl)
I've searched for the perfect love all my life (All my life)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh, it feels like I (Like I)
Have finally found a perfect love this time (See)
And I finally found, come on, girl
[Chorus: Michael Jackson]
You rocked my world, you know you did
And everything I own, I give ('Cause you rocked my world)
The rarest love, who'd think I'd find
Someone like you to call mine (You rocked my world)
You rocked my world, you know you did (Girl)
And everything I own, I give (Come on, girl)
The rarest love, who'd think I'd find
Someone like you to call mine
[Verse 2: Michael Jackson]
In time, I knew that love would bring
Such happiness to me
I tried to keep my sanity
I've waited patiently
And girl, you know it seems
My life is so complete
A love that's true because of you
Keep doing what you do
[Pre-Chorus: Michael Jackson]
Oh, ooh, who'd think that I (Oh)
Have finally found the perfect love I searched for all my life (Searched for all my life)
Oh-oh-oh, who'd think I'd find
(Oh-oh-oh)
Such a perfect love that's awesomely so right (So, girl)
[Chorus: Michael Jackson]
You rocked my world, you know you did (Come on, come on, come on, come on)
And everything I own, I give
The rarest love, who'd think I'd find (Girl)
Someone like you to call mine (You rocked my world)
You rocked my world (You rocked my world), you know you did
And everything I own, I give (Girl, girl, girl)
The rarest love, who'd think I'd find
Someone like you to call mine (Girl)
You rocked my world, you know you did (Oh)
And everything I own, I give (You rocked my world)
The rarest love, who'd think I'd find
Someone like you to call mine
You rocked my world, you know you did
And everything I own, I give (You rocked my world)
The rarest love, who'd think I'd find
Someone like you to call mine (Oh)
[Bridge: Michael Jackson]
And girl, I know that this is love
I feel the magic all in the air
And girl, I'll never get enough
That's why I always have to have you here, hoo
[Chorus: Michael Jackson]
You rocked my world (You rocked my world), you know you did
And everything I own, I give (Look what you did to me, baby, yeah)
The rarest love, who'd think I'd find
Someone like you to call mine (You rocked my world)
You rocked my world, you know you did (Know you did baby)
And everything I own, I give ('Cause you rocked my world)
The rarest love, who'd think I'd find (Hoo, hoo)
Someone like you to call mine
You rocked my world
(You rocked my world, you know you did)
And everything I own, I give
The rarest love, who'd think I'd find (Hoo, hoo)
Someone like you to call mine
You rocked my world, you know you did
And everything I own, I give
The rarest love, who'd think I'd find
Someone like you to call mine
You rock my world (You rock my world, you know you did)
The way you talk to me
The way you lovin' me
The way you, you give it to me
You rocked my world, you know you did

And everything I own, I give
The rarest love, who'd think I'd find
Someone like you to call mine
