Chelsea Heart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got nothing in my brain
That's what people say, mmh-mmh
That's what people say, mmh-mmh
I go on too many dates
But I can't make them stay
At least that's what people say, mmh-mmh
That's what people say, mmh-mmh
Can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music
In my mind, saying it's gonna be alright
'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, baby
I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, baby
I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
I never miss a beat
I'm lightning on my feet
And that's what they don't see, mmh-mmh
That's what they don't see, mmh-mmh
I'm dancing on my own (Dancin' on my own)
I make the moves up as I go (Moves up as I go)
And that's what they don't know, mmh-mmh
That's what they don't know, mmh-mmh
But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop grooving
It's like I got this music
In my mind, saying it's gonna be alright
'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, baby
I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, baby
I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Shake it off, I shake it off
I-I-I shake it off, I shake it off
I-I-I shake it off, I shake it off
I-I-I shake it off, I shake it off
Hey, hey, hey
Just think while you been getting down
And out about the liars, and the dirty dirty cheats of the world
You could have been getting down to this sick beat
My ex man brought his new girlfriend
She's like "Oh, my God!" but I'm just gonna shake
And to the fella over there with the hella good hair
Won't you come on over baby we can shake, shake, shake (Yeah, oh)
'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, baby (Haters gonna hate)
I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, baby
I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Shake it off, I shake it off
I-I-I shake it off, I shake it off
I-I-I shake it off, I shake it off
I-I-I shake it off, I shake it off
Shake it off, I shake it off
I-I-I shake it off, I shake it off (You got to)
Shake it off, I shake it off
I-I-I shake it off, I shake it off

This was an open casting to the public, so for those of you wondering why we didn't have a Princess Tiana it's because no one volunteered. We found a black Prince, but after a month of planning/searching we didn't have anyone play the role of Tiana. Same with Sleeping Beauty (Aurora) and other supporting characters like Olaf, Governor Ratcliffe, etc.
super what
