Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pretty little mama come close to me
You you’re what I need
Moving around like your dancing in a dream
Baby please forgive these eyes
But those hips have got me hypnotized
I love the way you shake it baby shake that thing my way
Oh baby
So come on baby shake what the good lord gave ya
I’m drawn to you
Powerless to the voodoo that you do
I see you swaying to the music
Baby I love the way you use it
Come on over here and dance with me
Any way you wanna go
Hurry up or we can take it slow
I love the way you shake it baby shake that thing my way
Oh baby
I got a lot to give and I’d give you anything
So come on baby shake what the good lord gave ya
I don’t want this night to end
I just want to start it over again

Oh baby

So come on baby shake what the good lord gave ya
Shake what the good lord gave ya
