Moderately paced rock ballad, a la Elton John and early Beatles. A slightly wistful look at my loving relationship with my step-daughter. Debuted at #1 on the Acoustic Rock sub-genre, went to #1 for overall genre Acoustic/Folk Chart May, 2003.

Kansas songwriter Steve Cowell presents his unique styles of pop/rock music and intelligent lyrics.
Hi, I'm Steve Cowell. I'm the leader of the group and I write all the words and music. I also play all the instruments and sing everything, which gets lonely at times, but at least there are few ego clashes and I get along pretty well with the other guys in the band most of the time. We all grew up together and have been playing music together since childhood.

Story behind the song
I wanted to write a song to my step-daughter, the only child remaining in my life, but I didn't want it to be too sentimental or sloppy sweet. Eventually the idea came to me accidentally, to write about our relationship.
Lyrics
Rock My World Copyright 2003 by Steve Cowell She wants to show she loves me, but she doesn't quite know how She's never had a dad before, no man around the house My hugs and kisses make her wince But afterwards she always grins She isn't totally convinced that we're all family now She doesn't have my nose or eyes She's already her full-grown size She came to me so late in life But she's still my little girl And she'll always rock my world I didn't know her as a tot, I missed her early years I wasn't there to watch her grow or dry her tiny tears I didn't bounce her on my knee Or teach her how to climb a tree She never learned to come to soothe her pains and fears She doesn't have my nose or eyes She's already her full-grown size She came to me so late in life But she's still my little girl And she'll always rock my world It isn't always easy to adjust and get along Sometimes she seems to look at me as if I don't belong But I can see in little ways She's more like me each passing day Her mannerisms illustrate my influence is strong She doesn't have my nose or eyes She's already her full-grown size She came to me so late in life But she's still my little girl And she'll always rock my world
