Smith & D'Abo Lyrics
"Rockin' Chair"

Rocking chair, oh rocking chair
Are you rocking someone's heart when I'm not there.
Tell me true
What do you do the minute I'm gone
For I can't bear to think that you've done me wrong.

Rocking chair, my rocking chair
You've been sharing out your charms, I do declare.
Now that's not right
When I get home at night from working all day
To find you've been a'rocking while I'm away.

As I was walking home tonight, I took a look inside a shop.
I sat me down on a chair or two
And they show you how to rock.
I paid deposit on an easy chair –
I even tried me a three-piece suite.
But I would rather work this whole thing out
'Cause none of them can compete.

Rocking chair, so firm and fair
When I'm in your arms, no other can compare.
So do take care, you'd better take care
My rocking chair
It shouldn't be hard
Or else you're gonna wind up in the yard.

Rocking chair people, they're all very fine
But they can read you a mile away.
Once they fall for your tender arms
And you both begin to sway.
They really know how to turn you on
And show you how to rock.
Let me tell you now your dad is back
This fooling has got to stop.
Um-umm

Ah-aah
You better take care, yes you better take care
Sweet rocking chair
It shouldn't be hard or else you're gonna wind up in the . . .

So don't give me no jive, d-d-don't give me no jive
If you wanna survive, if-if-if you wanna survive
You better beware
Sweet rocking chair
Shop around and see if I care.
