Aaliyah Rock The Boat

Nineteen years ago, the music industry lost a shining light in Aaliyah Dana Haughton, who passed away in a plane crash at the young age of 22. At the time of her death, Aaliyah had amassed three studio albums to her name, with her final being the eponymous Aaliyah. Unofficially deemed The Red Album over its iconic cover, the classic album featured production from her longtime collaborator and musical mentor Timbaland, as well as Eric Seats, Rapture, J. Dub, and Budda. And while fans remain undecided as to whether it’s her definitive work, it did end up spawning one of her classic singles in “Rock The Boat.”

A more laid-back jam than some of her previous singles, “Rock The Boat” drew inspiration from the heavily synthesized bops of the eighties. Over a bouncy synthesizer and lush, subtle, string, Aaliyah set a seductive tone with an intimate vocal performance. “Baby, I love your stroke,” she sings.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Mhmm, yeah, mhmm
Huh, uh, huh, uh
Ooh, yeah

[Verse 1]
Boy, you know you make me float
Boy, you really get me high (Ooh)
I feel like I’m on dope
‘Cause you, you serve me on a regular (Serve me on a regular)
Boy, you gotta stroke (Ooh)
Before drifting me deeper (Before drifting me deeper)
Baby, now, hold me close
Let’s take this overboard now

[Chorus]
I want you to rock the boat
Rock the boat (Mhm)
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Work it in the middle, work the middle
Work the middle, work the middle
Change positions, new position
New position (Ooh), new position
(Now stroke it baby)
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me

[Verse 2]
Ooh, baby, I love your stroke (‘Cause you)
‘Cause you get me where I’m going (‘Cause you get me where I’m going)
In a jury, you’ll get my vote
‘Cause I believe
I believe you know just what you doing now
Baby, now we can coast (Let’s coast, let’s coast)
Just don’t get in a hurry (Oh, no)
That’s too slow (Hey)
Go ahead and put that thing in overdrive

[Chorus]
I want you to rock the boat
Rock the boat (Ooh, hey)
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Work it in the middle, work the middle
(Work it, babe, work it, babe)
Work the middle, work the middle
Change positions, new position
New position (Ooh), new position
(Now stroke it, baby)
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
I want you to rock the boat
Rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat (Hey)
Work it in the middle, work the middle
Work the middle (Ooh), work the middle (Hey)
Change positions, new position
New position (Ooh), new positions (Now)
Stroke it baby, stroke it for me (Yeah)
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me

[Bridge]
Stroke it for me
Mm, stroke it baby, stroke it baby
Mmmm, work it, baby, work it baby
Oooh stroke It
There is something I want you to do
I want you to use yourself (Hey)
Like you never ever used to do before (Never)
To explore my body (Explore it, baby)
Until you reach the shore (Yeah)
You’ll be calling, calling for more (Calling)

[Chorus]
Rock the boat, rock the boat
(Ooh) Rock the boat, rock the boat
Work it in the middle, work the middle
(Ooh, work it, baby, work it, baby)
Work the middle, work the middle
Change positions, new position (Mmm, change)
New position, new position (Hey)
Stroke it for me (Baby), stroke it for me
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
I want you to rock the boat
Rock the boat (Ooh)
Rock the boat (Ooh), rock the boat
Work it in the middle, work the middle
(Oh, work it, baby)
Work the middle, work the middle
Change positions, new position
(Change) New position, new position
Stroke it for me, (Yeah) stroke it for me
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Work the middle, work the middle
Work the middle, work the middle
Change positions, new position
New position, new position
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me

[Outro]
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
