She Said
Take That Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was filled with trouble
With indecision, therapy and pain
You know that my love
It was going nowhere
It would have driven any normal man insane
She said she wanted to move
She said she wanted a good time
Girl, I think I love you
My love
As bad as fast food
As low as dueces in a gamblers hand
You know that my love
Was long, long hang over
Ain't got no houses or no money or no land
Oh, but then she said she wanted to dance
She said she wanted to move
She said she wanted a good time
Girl, I think I love you
Shake it
Everybody now shake it
Everybody just step to the right, jump up, turn around and shake it
Everybody now boogey
Everybody now boogey
Everybody put your hands in the air, turn around everybody
Let's boogey
My love
Was filled with trouble
With indecision, therapy and pain
You know that my love
It was going nowhere
It would have driven any normal man insane
Oh, but then she said she wanted to dance
She said she wanted to move
She said she wanted a good time
Girl, I think I love you
She said she wanted to dance
She said she wanted to move
She said she wanted a good time
Girl, I think I love you
