Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll pick you up then
If you'll be ready
I'll be there at ten
Now baby just tell me when
You been drinking
Too much and
Now shake it
Like you mean it
Now fake it
Like I see it
Now come on, baby, shake it
Like you mean it
Now take it
Like I need it
On our first date you run away
And come back another day
Phone tag you know I hate
On our first date you run away
And come back another day
The head games you love to play
I don't wanna play
I don't wanna play
On our first date you run away
And come back another day
Phone tag you know I hate
Now baby just tell me to
Say I like you
I'll say it anyway
If that's alright too
Now baby I won?t ask you
If you don't want to
I won't hurt you
Unless you want me to
Oh, shake it girl
I'll fake it girl
You shake it
And I'm gonna take it
Oh, if you shake it girl
I'll fake it girl
If you shake it
Well then I'm gonna take it
Shake it like you mean it
On our first date you run away
And come back another day
Phone tag you know I hate
On our first date you run away
And come back another day
The head games you love to play
I don?t wanna play
I don?t wanna play
On our first date you run away
And come back another day
Phone tag you know I hate
My face that haunts you
It pushes you back to
A corner in your bedroom
Well, baby, just don't be scared
When I touch you there
Don't act like you don?t care
Is it my face that haunts you?
And pushes you back to
A corner in your bedroom
Well, darling, just don't be scared
When I touch you there
Don't act like you don?t care
Don't be scared
On our first date you run away
And come back another day
Phone tag you know I hate
On our first date you run away
And come back another day
The head games you love to play
I don't wanna play
I don't wanna play
On our first date you run away
And come back another day
Phone tag you know I hate
Oh, shake it girl
I'll fake it girl
You shake it
And I'm gonna take it
Oh, if you shake it girl
I'll fake it girl
If you shake it
Well then I'm gonna take it
And I need it (Repeat 6X)
Do you mean it?
And I need it
The song "Shake It" by Rediscover is about a guy who is trying to win over a girl who is playing hard to get. He is willing to do anything to make her fall for him, even tolerate her playing head games. The song starts with the guy asking the girl when he should pick her up, hinting that he wants to take her out on a date. However, the girl seems to be drinking too much and wants to leave. The guy encourages her to stay, urging her to shake it like she means it and to fake it like he sees it. He tells her that he will be there for her, that he cares about her and that he needs her.
The lyrics then go on to talk about their first date, where the girl ran away and played phone tag with him. He does not want to play these games and tells her that he likes her, but she still seems hesitant. Despite this, he still wants to be with her and encourages her to not be scared if he touches her in a certain way.
Overall, the song is about a guy who is infatuated with a girl and is desperate for her attention. He is willing to do whatever it takes to win her over, even if it means playing her games. Ultimately, the song is about the power dynamic in relationships and how one person can hold all the cards.
