Shake It
Metro Station Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's drop
Yeah, come on
Shake, shake

I'll take you home if you don't leave me at the front door
(Leave me at the front door)
Your body's cold but girl, we're gettin' so warm
And I was thinking of ways that I could get inside
(Get inside)

Tonight you're falling in love
Let me go now
This feeling's tearing me up
Here we go now

Now if she does it like this
Will you do it like that?
Now if she touches like this
Will you touch her right back?
Now if she moves like this
Will you move like that? Come on

Shake, shake, shake, shake, a-shake it
A-shake, shake, shake, shake, a-shake it
A-shake, shake, shake, shake, a-shake it
A-shake, shake, shake, shake, a-shake it
A-shake, shake, shake, shake, a-shake it

Your lips tremble but your eyes are in a straight stare
(In a straight stare)
We're on the bed but your clothes are laying right there
And I was thinking of places that I could hide
(That I could hide)

Tonight you're falling in love
Let me go now
This feeling's tearing me up
Here we go now

Now if she does it like this
Will you do it like that?
Now if she touches like this
Will you touch her right back?
Now if she moves like this
Will you move like that? Come on

Shake, shake, shake, shake, a-shake it
A-shake, shake, shake, shake, a-shake it
A-shake, shake, shake, shake, a-shake it
A-shake, shake, shake, shake, a-shake it
A-shake, shake, shake, shake, a-shake it

I saw you dancing
And I couldn't get you off my mind
I could tell that you could tell
That I was taking my time
But I was thinking of ways
To get you staying the night
Your body's shaking
Turn me on so I can turn off the lights

Now if she does it like this
Will you do it like that?
Now if she touches like this
Will you touch her right back?
Now if she moves like this
Will you move like that? Come on

Shake, shake, shake, shake, a-shake it
A-shake, shake, shake, shake, a-shake it
A-shake, shake, shake, shake, a-shake it
A-shake, shake, shake, shake, a-shake it
A-shake, shake, shake, shake, a-shake it

Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
A-shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
