Opened me up and turned my life around
Let the sun shine in and shook me off the ground
Fallin' apart somehow you kept it together
Kept me from drifting in the stormy weather

Love like an artist let your juices flow
Like a scientist driven to know everything
Flood of tears will not break the levees
Rocksteady ever ready

Rocksteady
Ever ready
Rocksteady
So heavy
Girl, I'll love you
If you let me
Rocksteady
Ever ready

Ain't it funny how the times they change
Started out cool and ended up acting strange
We all want to get love and affection
No one wants to let down their protection

But you and I we've been through that
We accept each other as a matter of cold fact
Now we're gonna spend our whole lives together
Started out right and it's just getting better

Rocksteady
Ever ready
Rocksteady
So heavy
Girl, I'll love you
So just let me
Rocksteady
Ever ready

It took the two of us so long to get it right
Ain't gonna let it slip
It took the two of us so long to get it right
Ain't gonna let it slip

Let me in and give me your heart
Forget the past and get me a new start
Be who I am somehow you just let me
Rocksteady ever ready

Rocksteady
Ever ready
Rocksteady
So heavy
Girl, I'll love you
If you let me
Rocksteady
Ever ready

Rocksteady (Open me up and turn my life around)
Ever ready
Rocksteady (Let the sunshine in and shook me off the ground)
So heavy
Girl, I love you (Flood of tears will not break the levees)
So just let me
Rocksteady (Rocksteady)
Ever ready (Ever ready)
