[Verse 1: Rap]
Let me tell you a story 'bout a girl and a guy
The guy was too fresh, the girl was too fly
They've been together for a very long time
When they felt the sense of change in the state of their mind

They had a true love, but they just didn't know
How to talk to one another, so the feelings could show
To each other they wouldn't devote
Had to throw in that rope, had to rock that boat

[Chorus]
Don't rock that boat, baby
If it ain't broke, don't fix it
Just relax and let it flow
Don't rock that boat
If it don't fit, don't force it
Just chill out and let it float

[Verse 2: Belinda Lipscomb]
You and I together
Boy, we made a perfect pair
Till we got those inner feelings
And played those games of truth and dare

No, I'm not one to regret
But I know I did you wrong
And it's so hard to forget
How you loved me all night long

[Verse 3: Melvin Gentry]
I tried to understand my feelings
Why I ever played on you
In these days of danger
I really should be true

It ain't worth those silly chances
To be a fool whenever I date
From right now to forever
Let's remember this simple phrase

[Chorus]
Don't rock that boat (Don't rock that boat, baby)
If it ain't broke, don't fix it
Just relax and let it flow
Don't rock that boat (Don't rock that boat, baby)
If it don't fit, don't force it
Just chill out and let it float

Don't rock that boat (Don't rock that boat, baby)
Don't do it, don't do it
Don't do, don't, don't

[Verse 4: Rap]
The girl wanted love that was gigantic
But love was driftin' like the Titanic
Not just knee deep, it was totally deep
When the fly girl had to stop to keep [?]

(Her bed) Who was rockin' those freaks ahoy
She said to herself: "What's wrong with that boy?"
To each other we should devote
We'll love each other, stop rockin' that boat!

[Chorus]

[Verse 5]
[Belinda Lipscomb]
Foolishly I played the field
To satisfy myself
But the true satisfaction
Comes from you and no one else

[Melvin Gentry]
Oooh, you don't have to worry
Cause I feel the same way too
And I'll never touch another
Baby, I'm savin' my love for you

[Verse 6: Belinda Lipscomb & Melvin Gentry]
We were lucky
We found out in time
Now that we know the truth
Sugar, things will work out fine

We will stay together
And we'll never drift apart
I know just what to do
To keep you in my heart
Don't rock that boat

[Verse 1: Rap]

[Verse 4: Rap]

[Chorus]

[Verse 6]

[Chorus]

Don't you rock that boat, baby
Rock that boat
Rock that boat, baby
Rock that boat (Don't rock that boat)
