Shake it off
Tiffany Alvord Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got nothing in my brain
That's what people say (hum, hum)
That's what people say (hum, hum)
I go on too many dates
But I can't make them stay
At least that's what people say (hum, hum)
But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music in my mind
Singing it's gonna be alright
Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
I'll never miss a beat, I'm lightning on my feet
And that's what they don't see, that's what they don't see (hum, hum)
I'm dancing on my own, I'll make the moves up as I go (hum, hum)
And that's what they don't know, that's what they don't know
But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop grooving
It's like I got this music in my mind
Singing' it's gonna be alright
Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I shake it off, I shake it off
Hey, hey, hey
My ex-man bought his new girlfriend
She's like "Oh my God", but I'm just gonna shake it
And to the fella over there with the hella good hair
Won't you come on over, baby, we can shake, shake, shake
Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I shake it off, I shake it off
Shake it off, shake it off
I, I shake it off, I shake it off
(You've got to) Shake it off, I shake it off
I, I shake it off, I shake it off

I love that she's made it in her own style.
I also love that she still sings the covers even she already has her MAGICal original songs and would be great if she sings some cover with only a guitar like she did in the past. (those were my favorite of all time)
@kerisswaden7705
Love how you add your own self to the song. Acoustic and slower. Not just faster or same speed. Another great Swift cover!
