Great White & April Wine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Sweet little baby,
You don't have to go
Little baby
Tell me you won't go
We'd be so good together if we had the time
Bein' alone's a nowhere state of mind
Lovin' ain't no crime, oh no
I see your man ain't here He don't care
The way of the night has gone
We'll move on
Got to find a way
To face another day

I search the world
For someone I'll never find
Someone who ain't
The hurtin' kind
If you stay the night
We'll make the wrong seem right
So come on now

Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night

Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night

Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night

We'll burn in love tonight

Sweet little baby
Oh don't you go
You ain't so innocent, I know
I know your heart's like mine, oh yeah
And I will find the time
To make you mine
And if your love goes bad
If it makes you sad
I'll be back for more
At your door

Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night

Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night

Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night

Before the mornin' light
We'll burn with love tonight

And when your man don't care
I will be there
Still be lovin' real good love

So baby now

Roll me through the night

There is nothing left to do
But make sweet love to you

Come on and Rock me


Overall Meaning

The song "Rock Me" by Great White is a classic example of a rock ballad, where the lyrics tell a story of a man who is trying to convince his love interest to stay with him for the night. The song begins with the man addressing his "little baby," pleading with her not to leave while declaring his feelings for her. He then goes on to suggest that they could be happy together if they had more time and that being alone is a terrible state of mind. The man reassures his love interest that loving each other is not wrong or shameful, and that he sees her man is not around, indicating that he is willing to take a chance and be with her.


The singer then searches for someone who is not among the "hurting kind," implying that he wants a real connection with someone genuine. The next verse reinforces the romantic tension, with the singer suggesting that if his love stayed the night, they could "make the wrong seem right." There is no mention of what the "wrong" could be, but it is clear that if the two spend the night together, they'd have their passion together.


The chorus is a repeated verse where the singer echoes the phrase "Rock me" three times, each time with more energy and conviction, making the listener feel the intensity of his passion. The song overall is a classic rock ballad with an element of sexual tension, and the message is simple - "Let's love each other tonight without reservation or worry."
