SHAKE IT
Lee Cabrera Thomas Gold & Tara McDonald Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me your name
I gotta fever for you
I just can't explain
But there's just one problem
I'm a bit old school
When it comes to lovin'
I ain't chasing you
I'm on a roll
You've got to let yourself go
Whoa
You know that I've been waiting for you
Don't leave me standing all by myself
Cause I ain't looking at no one else
Hey
Get your back off the wall
Don't you get comfortable
Looking so hot
I think that I might fall
Feeling like it's my birthday
Like Christmas day came early
Just what I want
So when we move
You move
Hey
Get your back off the wall
Don't you get comfortable
Looking so hot
I think that I might fall
Feeling like it's my birthday
Like Christmas day came early
Just what I want
So when we move
You move
Oh, silly
Why you afraid?
Don't be a big baby
Quit playing games
And put your arms around me
You know what to do
And we can take it down low
Whoa
You know that I've been waiting for you
Don't leave me standing all by myself
Cause I ain't looking at no one else
Looking at no one else
Hey
Get your back off the wall
Don't you get comfortable
Looking so hot
I think that I might fall
Feeling like it's my birthday
Like Christmas day came early
Just what I want
So when we move
You move
Get your back off the wall
Don't you get comfortable
Looking so hot
I think that I might fall
Feeling like it's my birthday
Like Christmas day came early
Just what I want
So when we move
You move
I know that you wanna
But you can't, cause you gotta
Stay cool in the corner
When the truth is that you wanna move
So, move
I know that you wanna
But you can't, cause you gotta
Stay cool in the corner
When the truth is that you wanna move
So move
Move it baby, whoa
You know that I've been waiting for you
Don't leave me standing all by myself
Cause I ain't looking at no one else
Looking at no one else
Looking at no one else
Hey! Hey
I'm ready, hey
So come and get me
Don't be scared
Show me what you do
Don't you know a girl
Like a boy who move
Hey! Hey
I'm ready, hey
Boy, come and get me
Don't be scared
Show me what you do
Don't you know a girl
Like a boy who move
Get your back off the wall
Don't you get comfortable
Looking so hot
I think that I might fall
Feeling like it's my birthday
Like Christmas day came early
Just what I want
So when we move
You move
I'm ready, hey
Boy, come and get me
Don't be scared
Show me what you do
Don't you know a girl
Like a boy who move
The lyrics of Lee Cabrera Thomas Gold & Tara McDonald's song Shake It are about a woman who is waiting for a man to make a move on her. She tells him she has a "fever" for him and urges him to get out of his comfort zone and make a move. She encourages him to not be afraid, to put his arms around her and to move with her when they dance. She also believes that he wants to make a move but he is too scared to do so. The lyrics also briefly touch on the idea of being old school when it comes to love, implying that she is looking for someone who can match her passion and style.

The lyrics are catchy, upbeat, and encourage the listener to dance and move their body. The song's catchy melody and upbeat rhythm add to the overall message of the lyrics, creating a fun and lively dance track.
