[Intro]
Say, "Yeah"
Yeah, shake it up, yo
Ladies, are you with me?
Fellas, are you with me?
Ooh
Say, "Yeah"
"Yeah!"
Say, "Yeah"
"Yeah!"
Say, "Yeah"
"Yeah!"
Shake it up, yo, yo

[Verse 1]
I do
Any and everything you want to
Make your girl say, "Oooh, oooh
Why is he so fly-I-I?"
She beeps me
Ever since she wanna get freaky
You can get mad if you want to, do whatever you want
But she still gon' give it up
Yo, scream!

[Chorus]
My way (My way), my way (Ah yeah, yeah)
You can't satisfy her needs (You can't)
She keeps running back to see me do it (She keeps running back to me, yeah)
My way (Oh), my way (Oh)
What I say, goes (What I say, goes)
And I'm in control (Shake it out)

[Verse 2]
Badass, señoritas, two-seaters with kicks
New kicks, all in the mix
I don't turn no tricks, they turn for me
Catching bricks don't concern me
So forget it, little midget
My mind on seven digits
Before I pay Heaven skies a visit, now dig it
I'm pulling all stops, locking down all spots
Saying "You, can't, front"
So, from this day forth, you know I'm all about heat
And what I do be the Major League
That's why your girlfriend's paging me
And she know like he know
You don't see her like I see her, so she's out the door
Shotgun in my drop, having fun
With the Don, system bassing, conversation
About how she been chasing me
And facing me, saying, "Give it to me"
Now scream!

[Chorus]
My way (Oh, my way), my way (Ah yeah, yeah, yeah)
You can't satisfy her needs (You can't)
She keeps running back to see me do it (She keeps running back to me, yeah)
My way (Oh), my way (Oh)
What I say, goes (What I say, goes)
And I'm in control

[Verse 3]
Don't check me (Check me)
It was your girl who let me (Let me)
Take it this far, then, ooh wee! (Ooh wee)
Let her have it every chance that she could get
What, you think you a baller?
I ain't gon' call her, clip that
You can get mad if you want to, say whatever you want
But she still gon' give it up
Say it with me, c'mon!

[Chorus]
My way (My way), my way (Ah yeah, yeah)
You can't satisfy her needs (You can't)
She keeps running back to see me do it (She keeps running back to me, yeah)
My way (Oh), my way (Oh)
What I say, goes (What I say, goes)
And I'm in control
