the way you shake it makes me try too hard, i get all crazed
at night, i want to sit outside and make up games
you make me want to call in sick, i've stayed up late
the way you put that knife in me, i'm upset

the way you shake it fills my head with many stories
a night of wine and not being shy at parties
the way you shake it makes me so unkind, a jealous mind
you know you've got me feeling so i don't know

oh do you want me to stay
or do you want me to go
don't you know i could stay until the break of dawn
that's what i want you to say
you could hold me, boy you could hold me, just say yes, yes, ma'am

the way you shake it got me so unsure of myself
the way i'm asking got my friends asking about my health
you want to know if i believe in love you fall in
those days seem over when i find myself so open

i want to be the one to show you that i understand
that in the garden there's a dream we won't walk we must dance
through that wall again my my my my my my my
