Shake it off
Shara Caldwell and the LA Exchange Lyrics

I stay out too late
I don't conform to societal expectations of what is a reasonable hour to come home

Got nothing in my brain
I don't let negative opinions or criticisms of my personal choices affect my self-image or confidence

That's what people say
Unfortunately, there will always be individuals who try to bring me down or judge me unfairly

I go on too many dates
I don't let rejection and heartbreak discourage me from putting myself out there and trying to find love

But I can't make them stay
Sometimes, despite my best efforts, relationships don't work out and people decide to move on

At least that's what people say
People can have hurtful and inaccurate opinions of me, but I choose not to let them define me

But I keep cruising
I keep moving forward and not letting setbacks and obstacles hold me back

Can't stop, won't stop moving
I'm always progressing and growing, keeping a positive outlook and not letting negativity consume me

It's like I got this music in my mind, saying it's gonna be alright
I have a personal inner strength and resilience that motivates me and helps me maintain a healthy perspective

Cause the players gonna play, play, play
Some people are content to sit on the sidelines and criticize, whereas I'm actively engaged and pursuing my goals

And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate
There will always be people who try to tear me down, but I choose to ignore their negativity and keep shining

Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, Shake it off
I'm not going to let the negative energy of others bring me down or impact my mood

Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
People will inevitably hurt me or let me down, but I choose to get back up and keep moving forward

And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, baby
I acknowledge that there will be individuals who are not genuine or authentic, but I choose to focus on creating my own positive reality

I never miss a beat
I'm always alert, present and engaged with my surroundings

I'm lighting up my feet
I'm confident in my abilities and not afraid to express myself through dance or other creative outlets

And that's what they don't see
Others may misunderstand or underestimate me, but I choose not to let that affect my self-perception or self-worth

I'm dancing on my own
I'm comfortable with myself and don't need external approval or validation to feel happy or confident

I'll make the moves up as I go
I don't always have a clear or defined path, but I trust in my intuition and ability to navigate challenges and uncertainty

But I keep cruising, Can't stop, won't stop grooving
I'm always learning, growing and exploring new experiences, and not letting setbacks or mistakes hold me back

Hey, hey, hey, Just think while you been getting down
I encourage others to focus on the positives in life and not let negative people or situations lower their energy or mood

And out about the liars, And the dirty dirty cheats of the world
I acknowledge that there will always be dishonest or unethical people, but I choose to rise above and maintain my own values and integrity

You could have been getting down to this sick beat
Instead of focusing on negativity, energy can be spent on something productive and enjoyable

My ex man brought his new girlfriend, She's like oh my god, I'm just gonna shake
I choose not to let the actions of others affect my emotional state or sense of self-worth

And to the fella over there with the hella good hair, Won't you come on over baby we could shake, shake
I'm open to meeting new people and exploring new social situations without judgment or negativity

Shake it off, Shake it off
In summary, I choose to let go of the negative and focus on the positive outlook on life

Shake it off
No matter what life throws my way, I maintain my resilience and positive energy to keep moving forward and not let negativity hold me back

Shake it off
I maintain my enthusiasm and optimism, no matter what obstacles arise, and don't let negative experience dictate my mindset

Shake it off
In the end, I trust in my own abilities and resilience to overcome challenges and not let negativity limit my potential
