[Spoken Intro]
Lie down
We can do this all night
[Verse 1]
I know you got a young man
You don't care about me
He's darker than quicksand
He's taller than a tree
What you need is some real lovin'
Instead of these young-ass fools
I got the butter for your muffin
Just need the keys to the room
[Chorus]
Come on, baby (Shake it now)
Come on shake it now (Come on, baby)
Come on, baby (Shake it now)
Come on shake it now (Come on, baby)
Come on, baby (Shake it now)
Come on shake it now (Come on, baby)
Come on, baby (Shake it now)
Come on shake it now
[Verse 2]
We could freeze in London
You could hear me sing (Hear me sing)
And if you want to make love then (Come on)
You got to wear my ring (Put it on, put it on)
Cause I don't want no mistress (Talk to her)
I'd much rather be bound (Totally open)
Let's find a preacher
So we can get down, down, down
[Chorus]
Come on, baby (Shake it now)
Come on shake it now (Come on, baby)
Come on, baby (Shake it now)
Come on shake it now (Come on, baby)
Come on, baby (Shake it now)
Come on shake it now (Come on, baby)
Come on, baby (Shake it now)
Come on shake it now
Come on
[Verse 3]
Ha, ha - you and your girlfriend
Y'all two of a kind
Just runnin' these knuckleheads
Three and four at a time
Both of you's want babies
But you still actin' wild
The first rule in makin' one
You can't be no child
Instead of hittin' that remy (Hittin' that remy)
Why don't y'all hit the door? (Hit the door)
I'll book us on the red eye
And we'll be good to go (Good to go)
And if every life has got a reason
You can be mine
Perfume in the bath, darlin'
Champagne while we dine
Come on, baby (Shake it now)
Come on shake it now (Come on, baby)
Come on, baby (Shake it now)
Come on shake it now (Come on, baby)
Come on, baby (Shake it now)
Come on shake it now (Come on)
Come on, baby (Shake it, shake it, baby)
Come on shake it now
Come on (Come on, baby)
Yeah (Come on, baby)
Twenty days in London
And you ain't gimme no love
Could it be another brotha man
That you're thinking of?
Or could it be your girlfriend
Who never ever been straight
When I ask you - "Are you hungry?" (Hungry)
You say you already ate (Ooh)
You can play me if you want to
But you better let me know (Let me know, baby)
I don't need to play the good licks
If there ain't gonna be no show
I'm better off sleepin' with my guitar
If you ain't gonna sing
Strapped to the body
Makin' love to the strings
(Yeah, baby)
Come on, baby - come on shake it now {x4}
(Gimme, gimme good love)
Instead of talkin' about babies (Come on)
If we ain't gonna make love
You can't do nothing for me, for me
(Come on, gimme, gimme good love
Can't do nothing for me, baby (Come on)
Come on, baby - come on shake it now {x3}
Come on, baby
I got the butter for your muffin
