Shake It Off
Samantha Vaga Lyrics

I stay out too late
I have a habit of staying out late, past what might be considered a reasonable hour.

Got nothing in my brain
I don't have anything particularly important or intelligent to share.

That's what people say, mmm-mmm
That's what I'm told other people think of me, even though it may not reflect my true self.

I go on too many dates But I can't make them stay
I've had a lot of dates with different people, but none of them seem to turn into lasting relationships.

At least that's what people say, mmm-mmm
Other people have commented on this pattern in my dating life.

But I keep cruising
Despite the challenges I face, I continue to move forward with my life.

Can't stop, won't stop moving
I'm committed to my trajectory and won't let anything slow me down.

It's like I got this music
I feel like the universe is sending me encouragement to persist, even when things are tough.

In my mind
This feeling is internal, coming from my own outlook and determination.

Saying, 'It's gonna be alright.'
This inner voice is reassuring me that everything will work out in the end, despite any setbacks I may face.

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
Some people will always be focused on their own goals and ambitions and won't necessarily be reliable or consistent in relationships.

And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
There will always be people who for no reason or due to jealousy will spread negative rumors, feelings, and attitudes towards me.

Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I won't let this negativity bring me down or discourage me, I'm going to try and shake it off.

I shake it off, I shake it off
I'm going to remove myself from this negativity and focus on my own journey instead of getting caught up in these external emotions.

Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
Some people have tendencies to enter into relationships and then leave the partner once he/she lost interest or found someone else.

And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
There will always be people who will lie, pretend or manipulate to achieve their own goals or to disadvantage someone else.

Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Once again, I won't let this negativity bring me down, I'm going to try and shake it off.

I never miss a beat
I'm always on top of things and able to stay ahead of the curve.

I'm lightning on my feet
I'm quick and nimble, able to adapt to new situations with ease.

And that's what they don't see, mmm-mmm
Other people may not recognize or appreciate my strengths and abilities.

I'm dancing on my own (dancing on my own)
I'm content and happy doing my own thing, regardless of what anyone else might think or say.

I make the moves up as I go (moves up as I go)
I don't have a set plan for my life or career, but I feel confident in being able to make the right choices as I encounter new opportunities.

And that's what they don't know, mmm-mmm
Other people might not understand how I'm able to navigate my life in this way, but I'm confident in my approach.

Shake it off, I shake it off
Once again, I won't let negativity or other people's perceptions bring me down, I'm going to try and shake it off.

My ex-man brought his new girlfriend
I've encountered a situation where someone I used to be with is now in a new relationship.

She's like 'Oh, my god!' but I'm just gonna shake.
This situation might be awkward or uncomfortable, but I'm going to remain calm and keep moving forward.

And to the fella over there with the hella good hair
I've noticed someone with attractive qualities or features that catch my attention.

Won't you come on over, baby? We can shake, shake, shake
I'm feeling confident and flirty, and want to invite this person to dance or socialize with me.

Just think while you've been getting down and out about the liars and the dirty, dirty cheats of the world, You could have been getting down to this sick beat.
Instead of being consumed by negative thoughts about other people's dishonesty or immorality, focus on the positive and enjoyable aspects of life, like dancing to music you love.
