Could be you're crossing the fine line 
A silly driver, kinda off the wall 
You keep it cool when it's t-t-tight 
Eyes wide open when you start to fall 
You go d-dancing in the dim lit club 
Some pressure cooker crawls up on his knees 
Flashing sensation like a one on one 
Stomping around in the jitterbug breeze 
Oo, how you shake me up and down 
When we hit the nightspots on the town 
Oh 
Oo, how you shake me up and down 
When we hit the nightspots on the town 
Oh 
It's all behind you when you do catch on 
You keep your lovers in a penny jar 
A real romantic with a sultry stare 
You keep on messin' with your blonde, long hair yeah 
Oo, how you shake me up and down 
When we hit the nightspots on the town 
Oh 
(it's just an automatic line) 
(it's just an automatic line) 
(it's just an automatic line) 
(it's just an automatic line)
