[Verse 1]
Well, she came from the Motor City
From a clean, white neighbourhood
She had a degree in social science
She came out then to Hollywood
She was a six-foot social beauty
With an eye for Polynesian art
In a sharp skirt and tied my hands
She could kickstart a dead man's heart
[Chorus]
It's not what she say
It's all in her sway
She's a shock to the system
It's not how she talks
It's all in her walk
She's a shock to the system
[Verse 2]
She's a rough cut sacred diamond
In a [?] mediocre style
She just walks the [?] shot body
She may be crazy but she's no wild child
She has an old folk's and old sons
Plays piano in a rock 'n' blues band
She got drinks, but don't do cocaine
But she parties hard all the same
[Chorus]
It's not what she say
It's all in her sway
She's a shock to the system
It's not how she talks
It's all in her walk
She's a shock to the system
[Interlude]
Woo! Ha
Oh yeah
Shock to the system, baby, oh now
[Bridge]
As I was walking home one night
On the streets I've never seen
And that subterranean part of town
Where love is never found
Wanna build my road on top of this place
I know this turned [?]
It's appearing here twice nightly
[?] was this
[Verse 3]
Well she earned a whole lot of money
And went back home to Michigan
She had maximised her potential
But there's a scandal of a family man
[Chorus]
It's not what she say
It's all in her sway
She's a shock to the system
It's not how she talks
It's all in her walk
She's a shock to the systemit's not what she say
It's all in her sway
She's a shock to the system
It's not how she talks
It's all in her walk
She's a shock to the system
