Shake It lyrics

You're perfect just the way you are

Just the way you are

Shake it, shake it, shake it

(Like a tambourine)

Come on, mama,

Shake it, shake it, shake it

You're the one for me

Shake it, shake it, shake it

Come on, mama,

Shake it, shake it, shake it

You're the dancehall queen

Shake it, shake it, mama, you're the one for me

I'm realising you're the only one that's meant to be

And when I wake up in the morning all I wanna see

Is the sun that is shining on you next to me (I like that)

You got a little broken nail, got a hair out of place

Got a little bit of extra middle right around the waist

With all of them things, I never ever hesitate

'Cause the thing about you, baby,

Is the smile on your face

I'm blowing kisses at you, girl, and I hope they didn't miss

The way you move your body makes it hard for them to hit you

I wish you would come a little closer, rub a little closer

Mama sey, mama kosa, sayin'

Shake it, shake it, shake it

(Like a tambourine)

Come on, mama,

Shake it, shake it, shake it

You're the one for me

Shake it, shake it, shake it

(And we run the scene)

Come on, mama,

Shake it, shake it, shake it

You're the one for me

Shake it, shake it, shake it

(I like that)

Come on, mama,

Shake it, shake it, shake it

You're the one for me

Shake it, shake it, shake it

You're the dancehall queen

I've got love for you, baby, never giving it up

And I love the way you love me, never getting enough

I love the way you shake that little extra bit of butter

When I see you move your body, girl,

It makes my heart a-flutter

When I see you dancing on the living room floor,

On the kitchen table, better open up the door

Bring the party to the street because the street will love it more

And if the people love the beat, then the beat will love them more

With the music blastin', the people clappin',

The speakers shakin', the kids'll take it,

You're perfect just the way you are

You're perfect just the way you are

Shake it, shake it, shake it

(Like a tambourine)

Come on, mama,

Shake it, shake it, shake it

You're the one for me

Shake it, shake it, shake it

(And we run the scene)

Come on, mama,

Shake it, shake it, shake it

You're the one for me

Shake it, shake it, shake it

(I like that)

Come on, mama,

Shake it, shake it, shake it

You're the one for me

Shake it, shake it, shake it

You're the dancehall queen

Hey gyal, them a bubble like a pot pon fire

Waist a move like it make out a wire

Firm and sturdy like a truck tire

When we shake it, man bawl "fire"

We shake it like we got no bones

Shake it like we got no bones

When we shake it, man gather round

That's how we get down

Shake it, shake it, shake it

(Like a tambourine)

Come on, mama,

Shake it, shake it, shake it

You're the one for me

Shake it, shake it, shake it

(And we run the scene)

Come on, mama,

Shake it, shake it, shake it

You're the one for me

Shake it, shake it, shake it

(I like that)

Come on, mama,

Shake it, shake it, shake it

You're the one for me

(I am the dancehall queen)

Come on, mama,

Shake it, shake it, shake it

You're the dancehall queen

Shake it on the beach, girl, vamos a la playa

Hotter than the sun, you know you set my soul on fire

A bird in the sky, you make me feel like a flyer,

Higher, Higher, Higher, Higher

I got love for you baby, like every single day

I got love for you baby, in every single way

I got love for you in everything that I cook

It's not the way that you look, it's the way that you shook

Shake it, shake it, shake it

(Like a tambourine)

Come on, mama,

Shake it, shake it, shake it

You're the one for me

Shake it, shake it, shake it

(And we run the scene)

Come on, mama,

Shake it, shake it, shake it

You're the one for me

Shake it, shake it, shake it

(I like that)

Come on, mama,

Shake it, shake it, shake it

You're the one for me

(I am the dancehall queen)

Come on, mama,

Shake it, shake it, shake it

You're the dancehall queen
