SHAKE IT
Lee Cabrera Thomas Gold & Tara McDonald Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, baby
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
Been waiting
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
