Abdul, Paula - Rock House Lyrics

Rock you house
You turn the fire, I'm taking over
Rock you house
You people get strong
Rock you house
You time to take the weight off our shoulder
Rock you house
You people move on

[Verse 1]
And yes it's time to grow
Spent enough time to know
To believe in you is blind
You only tell us lies
So now that we've agreed
It's time to end your greed
The unanimous decision is to rock you

[Chorus]
Rock you house
You turn the fire, I'm taking over
Rock you house
You people get strong
Rock you house
You time to take the weight off our shoulder
Rock you house
You people move on (You people move on)

[Verse 2]
You shake a million hands
Make a million plans
And give a promise to the poor
And millions to a war
We tried to beg and plead
Still you ignore our needs
So the only way to teach you is to rock you

[Chorus]
Rock you house
You turn the fire, I'm taking over
Rock you house
You people get strong (Come on people, sing!)
Rock you house
You time to take the weight off our shoulder
Rock you house
You people move on

[Bridge 1]
When I think about the babies eyes
Longing from hunger
I wanna cry, cry cry
Then the situation of our mothers and our brothers
Well, I know (I know)
I know we can make it better

[Bridge 2]
So listen power boys
Your contradictory ploy is the way to peace this war
Kill that noise!
This is our tragedy
To bring you to your knees
And in unity forever, we will rock you

[Chorus]
Rock you house
You turn the fire, I'm taking over
Rock you house
You people get strong (Come on people, sing!)
Rock you house
You time to take the weight off our shoulder
Rock you house
You people move on
Rock you house
You turn the fire, I'm taking over
Rock you house
You people get strong
Rock you house
You time to take the weight off our shoulder
Rock you house
You people move on

rock you house you turn the fire up takin' over 
rock you house you people get strong 
rock you house you time to take the weight off 
our shoulder rock you house you people move on
and yes it's time to grow 
spent enough time to know 
to believe in you is blind 
you only tell us lies
so now that we've agreed 
it's time to end your greed 
the unanimous decision is to rock you
[chorus]

you shake a million hands 
make a million plans 
then give a promise to the poor 
and millions a war
we tried to beg and plead 
still you ignore our needs 
so the only way to teach you is to rock you
[chorus]
when i think about the babies' eyes longing from hunger 
it makes me wanna cry, cry, cry 
then the situation of our mothers and our brothers, 
well i know, i know 
we can make it better
[chorus]
to the nations telling lies to the brothers down the block 
to the power on the street 
to the critics on my jock 
shut up and dance!!
[chorus]
set the record straight right here and say 
set the record straight right here and say
[chorus]

Che schifezza

Always liked the bass line of the song. Still cool after all these years.

Well song

i luv this song !!!!

Was really shocked this was never a video. The dancing in it would have been insane.

I absoutley adore her as a singer ! She rocked

This song played to warm up the crowd at my kids Dance Competitions in the 90's. I believe it was Headliners or Starpower.

Paula Abdul should be the president.

To the power on the street,To the critics on my jock
Shut up and dance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was her attempt at a Rhythm Nation type of socially conscious song. I still jam to it all these years later.

hehe I hear the tape dullness at 1:04, such good memories tape :)

One of my favorites by the fantastic Paula Abdul!

Always loved this song, should have been a single !

Kat Deluna remade this song actually! :-)

wrong lyrics it's " so listen power boys, your contradictory vote is the way to peace this war, (kill that noise, this is our sanity to bring you to your knees and with unity forever, we will rock you" Paula would never say fuck you in a song, she had more class than that.

COOL!X0P

YOU ROCK!!
