Rock the Boat

Was The Hues Corporation on to something? Is this song relevant to your life? Discuss...

So I'd like to know where, you got the notion
said I'd like to know where, you got the notion
to rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby
rock the boat, don't tip the boat over
rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby
rock the boat-t-t-t-t

Ever since our voyage of love began
your touch has thrilled me like the rush of the wind
and your arms have held me safe from a rolling sea
there's always been a quiet place to harbor you and me
Our love is like a ship on the ocean
we've been sailing with a cargo full of, love and devotion

So I'd like to know where, you got the notion
said I'd like to know where, you got the notion
To rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby
rock the boat, don't tip the boat over
rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby
rock the boat-t-t-t-t

Up to now we sailed through every storm
and I've always had your tender lips to keep me warm
oh I need to have the strength that flows from you
don't let me drift away my dear, when love can see me through
Our love is like a ship ..........

I didn't get the physical thing. Sure there's kissing, but it sounds like they protected each other from the ups and downs of life and found comfort in each other. Now the singer is feeling betrayed that the lover is wanting to rock the boat. Maybe cheat? Maybe leave?

This song's been running through my head today. I wonder why.
