When the day is over,
I like to ease my mind
By jucin' up my system,
With the beat of a heavy kind
I smack a bottle open,
I crank the hi-fi high
I'm in-a seventh heaven
Ooh I can touch the sky

I'm in love, so in love
And I can't stop talking 'bout my rock forever

It's got the movin' to me
just that I can't explain,
It's like a brilliant sunshine
After standing in the pouring rain
My skin begins to tingle,
Ooh right on down my back
It's really got me fevered,
Pounding my senses flat

I'm in love, so in love
And I can't stop talking 'bout my rock forever

Rock rock rock forever (I love my)
Rock rock rock forever (my fever)
Rock rock rock forever (always gonna) 
Rock rock rock forever
I can't stop talkin' about rock
Now get it right, boys

So when you get those blue days
Here's just what to do
Switch into this lifeline 
And feel it rushing through
Before you know it, blue days
Are better left behind
By juicin' up your system
With this beat of a heavy kind

I'm in love, so in love
And I can't stop talking 'bout my rock forever 
Rock forever
I'm gonna rock forever
