Shake It Lyrics

[Intro]
Let’s drop!
Yeah, come on
Shake, shake

[Verse 1]
I'll take you home if you don't leave me at the front door
Your body's cold, but girl, we're getting so warm
And I was thinking of ways that I could get inside

[Pre-Chorus]
Tonight, you're falling in love (Let me go now)
This feeling's tearing me up (Here we go now)

[Chorus]
Now if she does it like this, will you do it like that?
Now if she touches like this, will you touch her right back?
Now if she moves like this, will you move her like that?
Come on, shake shake, shake shake, a-shake it
A-shake shake, shake shake, a-shake it
A-shake shake, shake shake, a-shake it
A-shake shake, shake shake, a-shake it
A-shake shake, shake shake, a-shake it

[Verse 2]
Your lips tremble, but your eyes are in a straight stare
We're on the bed, but your clothes are laying right there
And I was thinking of places that I could hide
[Pre-Chorus]
Tonight you're falling in love (Let me go now)
This feeling's tearing me up (Here we go now)

[Chorus]
Now if she does it like this, will you do it like that?
Now if she touches like this, will you touch her right back?
Now if she moves like this, will you move her like that?
Come on, shake shake, shake shake, a-shake it
A-shake shake, shake shake, a-shake it
A-shake shake, shake shake, a-shake it
A-shake shake, shake shake, a-shake it
A-shake shake, shake shake, a-shake it

[Bridge]
I saw you dancing and I couldn't get you off my mind
And I could tell that you could tell that I was taking my time
But I was thinking of ways to get you staying the night
Your body's shaking, tell me off so I can turn off the lights

[Chorus]
Now if she does it like this, will you do it like that?
Now if she touches like this, will you touch her right back?
Now if she moves like this, will you move her like that?
Come on, shake shake, shake shake, a-shake it
A-shake shake, shake shake, a-shake it
A-shake shake, shake shake, a-shake it
A-shake shake, shake shake, a-shake it
A-shake shake, shake shake, a-shake it
[Outro]
A-shake shake, shake shake, a-shake it
A-shake shake, shake shake, a-shake it
A-shake shake, shake shake, a-shake it
A-shake shake, shake shake, a-shake it

“Shake It” is the fourth track off Metro Station’s debut self titled album. The song was a huge commercial success, with the single reaching a 2x platinum certification in the US.

Let me paint a picture for you. You’re in 8th grade at the school dance. You and your homeboys are posted up on the wall. Directly across the room on the other wall is all the girls. Now everyone wants to dance but you’re all too afraid to make the first move. You’re eying that girl you have a huge crush on, thinking of what you could possibly say to her. Then it happens. The DJ drops that one perfect song. Girls are screaming “omg this is literally my song” and running to the dance floor. You and your homies are off the wall; it’s go time. Sure, this song is clearly written by someone who has no idea how sex works. “If she does it like this will you do it like that, seriously guys how do you do it someone tell me I’m very confused” But no matter. This is your song, your moment. This is Metro Station.
