And fun is definitely at the heart of this song.

In a way, the song captures a fleeting moment in time—a reminder of those days when rock was pure, rebellious joy, untouched by the complications of life. So, if you’re ever in need of a pick-me-up or just want to lose yourself in a catchy beat, “Rock ‘N’ Roll Over You” is your go-to. Because sometimes, all we need is a song that takes over and lets us simply be.

Lyrics
Like a rock
I’m gonna roll over you
Like a rock
I’m gonna roll over you
Not gonna lose my nerve
Not gonna fall apart
Not gonna turn the tide
Not even gonna start from the top
Not gonna lose control
Not gonna turn around
Not gonna break my step
Not gonna till I take you to the top
‘Cause there’s something, baby
That I want you to know
(What price love) what price love
If there’s nothing to show?
Like a rock
I’m gonna roll over you
Like a rock
I’m gonna roll over you
No need to close the door
No need to lose your way
No need to stand alone
Just try to understand what I’m saying (yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah)
Not gonna turn you loose
Not gonna bring you down
Not gonna let you go
I only want to take you to the top
‘Cause if I don’t have you
Then I want you to know
(What price love) what price love
If we’ve nothing to show
Like a rock
I’m gonna roll over you
Like a rock
I’m gonna roll over you
Like a rock
I’m gonna roll over you
Like a rock
I’m gonna roll over you
Like a rock
I’m gonna roll over you
Like a rock
I’m gonna roll over you
Rock ‘n roll over you
Like a rock
I’m gonna roll over you
Like a rock
I’m gonna roll over you
Like a rock
I’m gonna roll over you
Like a rock
I’m gonna roll over you

Like a rock
Like a ro-, like- like- like a rock
