Shake your love
I just can't shake your love
Shake your love
I just can't shake your love
Shake your love
I just can't shake your love
Shake your love
I just can't shake your love

I'm under a spell again
Boy, I'm wondering why
This is not a game of love but
An emotional tie
I'm trying to figure out my heart  (heart..)
But I can't offer you proof
Of why we should never be apart
And that is the (that is the ) that is the truth
Oh!

Shake your love
I just can't shake your love
Shake your love
I just can't shake your love
Shake your love
I just can't shake your love
Shake your love
I just can't shake your love

Do you know why I stop and stare
And smile when you walk by
And how I call you up at night
I hang up the phone and I cry
If I never got to know you so well (I knew you well)
Maybe I would be fine
Baby you know that I can't tell
Why you should be (you should be)
you should be mine, Oh!

Shake your love
I just can't shake your love
Shake your love
I just can't shake your love
Shake your love
I just can't shake your love
Shake your love
I just can't shake your love

Ooh, I know what you're thinkin'
I see it in your eyes
You want to give our love another try
I'm so glad you realize I can't...

Shake your love
I just can't shake your love
Shake your love
I just can't shake your love
Shake your love
I just can't shake your love
Shake your love
I just can't shake your love

Shake it
Your love
Can't shake
Just can't shake your love

Shake your love
I just can't shake your love
Shake your love
I just can't shake your love
Shake your love
I just can't shake your love
Shake your love
I just can't shake your love

Shake your love
Shake your love
I just can't shake your love
Shake your love
I just can't shake....Say shake it!
Shake your love
I just can't shake your love

Shake your love
I just can't shake
Shake your love
I just can't shake your love
Shake your love
I just can't shake
Shake your love
I just can't shake your love
