Rock Me

About Rock Me

"Rock Me" is a song by the Canadian-American hard rock band Steppenwolf. It was released on their 1969 album At Your Birthday Party. It was written by the band's lead singer John Kay, and was the band's fifth American single release. The association with Grusin came as he was scoring the 1968 psychedelic sex farce movie Candy, where it is the culmination to the soundtrack. The single, produced by Gabriel Mekler, was released in 1969 and backed with "Jupiter's Child", peaking at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 on April 19, 1969. It was Cashbox's top debut the week of March 1, 1969. The song is considered the highlight of the album though it had been released for the soundtrack well ahead of the album. The song followed on the heels of the band's two 1968 hits, "Born to Be Wild" which peaked at #2 and "Magic Carpet Ride" which peaked at #3. Way Back Attack ranks it #31 on its list of the Top 100 Psychedelic Hits of 1966-1969. The song later appeared in the band's live albums Live at 25 released in 1995 and Live in Louisville released in 2004 as well as all of the band's compilation albums. more »

She asked me maybe
I would share her sorrow
About the men that tried to treat her wrong

Though just a baby
A waiting her tomorrow
It's rock me baby,  rock me baby
All night long

She needs an answer to her confusion
Someone to guide her with tenderness
But if she's asking for a solution
All that she gets
You know it's something like this

Don't know where we come from 
Don't know where we're going to 
But if all of this should have a reason
We would be the last to know

So let's just hope there is a promised land
Hang on till then as best you can 
Everybody's ills you know it

Fills her with compassion
That's why she tries
To save the world alone

She helps the needy in her own fashion
And tries to give them all her own
Rock me baby, rock me baby 
All night long
