Shaking
Hazel English Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're out of your senses, easily beguiled
Pray for me I want to commit sin
Waters deep but I'm already half in
You're shaking, this is an awakening
You're shaking, I know it's a lot to take in
I know, I know, I know
Take you to the river, we'll arrive by dawn
Hold you under water, you can be reborn
Pray for me I want to commit sin
Waters deep but I'm already half in
You're shaking, this is an awakening
You're shaking, I know it's a lot to take in
You're shaking, this is an awakening
You're shaking, I know it's a lot to take in
I know, I know, I know
Get down on your hands and knees
Baby beg for me
Tell me that I am your queen
Maybe I'll set you free
Get down on your hands and knees
Baby beg for me
Tell me that I am your queen
Maybe I'll set you free
You're shaking, this is an awakening
You're shaking, I know it's a lot to take in
You're shaking, this is an awakening
You're shaking, I know it's a lot to take in
I know, I know, I know

I never heard of you before today, but they played this on the radio here in LA this afternoon. One of those tunes I instantly fell in love with and had to have. Excellent.

This song is said to be 1960s-style! The dress that Hazel wears in this video, and her dance at 3:00, really help this video look this old-fashioned!
