Cola bottle shake baby
You're freaking me out girl
Cola
Cola bottle shake baby
You're freaking me out girl
(You can get it)
I don't care now
Cause you ain't fooling me
(You can get it)
Can't you call a girl that made a fool out of me?
Oh, when you look into her eyes
You can't believe all the lies, the lies
And the alibis
Cola
Cola bottle shake baby
You're freaking me out baby
Cola
Cola bottle shake baby
I love the way you dance baby
Cola
Cola bottle shake girl
Freaking my mind out
(You can get it)
But that's just a lie
(You can get it)
You give her the feared sense of alibi
(You can get it)
Oh, when you look into her eyes
That's when you start to surmise
That she would do all the lies
Cola bottle shake
Yeah she's got that fizz, she's got that fizz fizz fizz fizz
7-Up fizz fizz
Fizz fizz fizz fizz fizz
She makes me fizz fizz fizz fizz
Fizz you sugar free
Fizz fizz fizz fizz fizz
She makes you sugar free fizz, fizz, fizz, fizz, fizz, fizz, fizz, fizz
Cola bottle shake baby
You're freaking my mind out
So far out, oh out
Cola bottle shake baby
Freaking my mind out
(You can get it)
But that's just a lie
(You can get it)
Can't shake all the girls that've made a fool out of you
(You can get it)
Oh, when you look into her eyes
That's when you start because you believe all the lies and alibis
Cola bottle shake
Fizz fizz fizz fizz fizz she's got that much technically
7-Up fizz fizz
Fizz fizz fizz fizz fizz she thinks she's perfectly free
Leaves you sugar free
The lyrics to Edwin Birdsong's "Cola Bottle Baby" are about a woman who is using her charm to deceive and manipulate the singer of the song. The mention of a "Cola bottle shake" serves as a metaphor for her shaking up his world and leaving him dizzy and confused. He is aware of her deceit and the lies that she tells, but he is still drawn to her and loves the way she dances. Despite the fact that she has made him a fool, he is unable to resist her charms.
The repeated chorus of "You can get it" could be interpreted in different ways. On one hand, it could be a warning to others to be careful not to fall for the woman's tricks. On the other hand, it could be an invitation for her to continue with her manipulations, as the singer is unable to resist her.
The lyrics also mention the brand names of two popular soft drinks - Cola and 7-Up. These references add to the playful and upbeat tone of the song.
