Shakin All Over
Lords Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you move in right up close to me
That's when I get the shakes all over me
Quivers down my back bone
I've got the shakes down the kneebone
Yeah havin' the tremors in the thighbone
Shakin' all over

Just the way you say goodnight to me
Brings that feeling on inside of me
Quivers down my back bone
I've got the quivers down the thighbone
Yeah the tremors in my back bone
Shakin' all over

Quivers down my back bone
Yeah I have the shakes in the kneebone
I've got the tremors in the back bone
Shakin' all over

Well, you make me shake and I like it, baby




Well, you make me shake and I like it, baby
Well, you make me shake and I like it, baby

The chorus, "Shakin' all over," perfectly sums up the singer's sense of disorientation and euphoria.

Tremendo por inteiro
Johnny Kidd Os Piratas

Quando você se move bem perto de mim
É quando eu recebo tremores em cima de mim

Estremece minha espinha dorsal
Eu tenho tremores no osso do joelho
Sim, os tremores no meu osso da coxa
Tremendo por toda parte

Do jeito que você diz boa noite para mim
Traz esse sentimento dentro de mim

Estremece a espinha dorsal
Eu tenho arrepios no osso da coxa
Sim, os tremores na minha espinha
Tremendo por toda parte

Estremece minha espinha dorsal
Sim, o tremor no osso do meu joelho
Eu tenho tremores no meu osso da coxa
Tremendo por toda parte

Bem, você me faz tremer e eu gosto disso, baby
Você me faz tremer e eu gosto, baby
Bem, agite, agite, agite
agitar agitar
Agite agite agite
Agite agite agite



Shakin' All Over
Johnny Kidd The Pirates

When you move in right up close to me
That's when I get the shakes all over me

Quivers down my backbone
I got the shakes down my knee bone
Yeah the tremors in my thigh bone
Shakin' all over

Just the way that you say goodnight to me
Brings that feelin' on inside of me

Quivers down the backbone
I got the shivers down the thigh bone
Yeah the tremors in my back bone
Shakin' all over

Quivers down my backbone
Yeah the shakes in my knee bone
I got the tremors in my thigh bone
Shakin' all over

Well, you make me shake and I like it, baby
You make me shake and I like it, baby
Well, shake, shake, shake
Shake, shake
Shake, shake, shake
Shake, shake, shake
