lyrics

[VERSE]
Found my lover on the streets
She sold me love and luxury
Taught me how to be a man
Then took the cash right from my hands

Found another under sheets
She gave me stones and misery
Told me ways to drown it down
Then disappeared when I passed out

[PRE-CHORUS]
If you know what you want
Then you got what you need
If you know what you want
Go and get away from me

[CHORUS]
Shake it, shake it, shake it
Shake! Shake! America!
Shake it 'til you got it right
Shake it, shake it, shake it
Shake! Shake! America!
You could break it down tonight

[VERSE 2]
Found a girl who's got a dream
She gave me fire and gasoline
Struck a match and burned away
Left no one standing in her way

[PRE-CHORUS]

[CHORUS]
