Don't worry, STATEofSHOCK! You are not alone! I used to think the exact same thing as you!! :lol: I also used to think that "Rock With You" was only about the dancefloor and that's what I respect about MJ so much. He has a way of singing about sex in a way that allows you to have your kids in the room with this song blasting out the speakers and they have no idea what he's actually singing about! LOL "Rock With You" went completely over my head back in the day!! LOL
But here, I'm gonna give you a hand with this, okay? I think this will help you out.
Let's look at this line from "Beautiful Girl."
"It's almost like dancing when romancing in her arms."
Now, let's go back to the song "Rock With You."
"I wanna rock with you all night. Dance you into day."
Get it?
The other song that went over my head back in the day was "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough." And MJ actually wrote that one himself. It's a very steamy song, but the way he wrote it allows adults to blast it out of their speakers and kids have no idea what he is singing about until they get older. lol
"Off The Wall" is the album that let's us know that MJ had moved beyond just spending time being hugged up with the ladies. He was actually getting closer than close with the ladies. He had become well seasoned. Know what I'm sayin'? If you need a little more to go on, listen to "It's The Falling In Love."
When MJ went solo that's when we girls got an extra special treat! :wub:
Here are the words:
1st verse
Girl, close your eyes
Let that rhythm get into you
Dont try to fight it
There aint nothin that you can do
Relax your mind
Lay back and groove with mine
You got to feel the heat
And we can ride the boogie
Share that beat of love
Chorus
I wanna rock with you (all night)
Dance you into day (sunlight)
I wanna rock with you (all night)
Were gonna rock the night away
2nd verse
Out on the floor
There aint nobody there but us
Girl, when you dance
Theres a magic that must be love
Just take it slow
cause we got so far to go
When you feel that heat
And were gonna ride the boogie
Share that beat of love
Chorus
I wanna rock with you (all night)
Dance you into day (sunlight)
I wanna rock with you (all night)
Were gonna rock the night away
Bridge
And when the groove is dead and gone (yeah)
You know that love survives
So we can rock forever, on
Refrain
I wanna rock with you
I wanna groove with you
I wanna rock with you
I wanna groove with you
Chorus
I wanna rock (all night) with you girl (sunlight)
Rock with you, rock with you girl (yeah)
(all night)
Dance the night away
Chorus
I wanna rock with you (yeah) (all night)
Rock you into day (sunlight)
I wanna rock with you (all night)
Rock the night away
Feel the heat feel the beat
Rock you into day (sunlight)
I wanna rock - rock the night away
Okay. According to the online Slang Dictionary:
http://onlineslangdictionary.com/thesaurus/words+meaning+to+dance.html

That's about it. So, this is an innocent song about dancing...nothing more to read into it. Yep. My mind is definitely in the gutter sometimes!! lol!
