Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But never find the heart to leave me
'Cause I need you too much
So play your game but don't desert me
Maybe you heard I'm tough
To love but baby please believe me
Don't be afraid to trust me
And if you feel you gotta test me
Before you be my girl
You can shake me
An' you can break me
But you can't make me
'Cause that's the only thing I won't do for you
Sometimes I say too much
I am right now so please forgive me
When I can't help but touch
The place so deep inside you in me
I threw away my crutch
I'm on up for you can't you see me?
Don't be afraid to try me
Come on and give a guy a whirl
And if you feel you gotta test me
Before you be my girl
An' you can shake me
An' you can break me
But you can't make me
'Cause that's the only thing I won't do for you
When I was making love inside my mind
Somehow you take me to the other side
I wanna get so deep inside your world
So don't run away girl
An' you can shake me
An' you can break me, oh yea
But you can't make me
'Cause that's the, the only thing I won't do for you
Shake me
An' you can break me
But you can't make me, yea
I'm gonna
I'm gonna
I'm gonna make you mine
An' you can shake me
An' you can break me
But you can't make me
'Cause that's the only thing I won't do for you
An' you can shake me
An' you can break me
But you can't make me
'Cause that's
the only thing I won't do for you
