Shake Baby

Moved to California to find a new place It was a tall tall order, to pave a new way My skin sometimes was crawling, nearly every night Til I saw a sign, that pointed left to right Give me a little something, give me a little something Word by word and paint by number Take this girl lightning and thunder Shake her world shake baby shake baby shake baby Shake baby shake baby shake baby I met with the devil to sign a new deal He said I played out my hand that I needed something real So I wandered to the ocean and looked at bodies there I thought I'd try to be like them, skin exposed and bare Give me a little something, give me a little something Word by word and paint by number Take this girl lightning and thunder Take her world shake baby shake baby shake baby Shake baby shake baby shake baby Word by word and paint by number Take this girl lightning and thunder Shake her world shake baby shake baby shake baby Shake baby shake baby shake baby Sulked away alone again in my new western world I wondered if my old mistakes were too grand to unfurl And then I saw a stranger standing in the light I asked for what he had, he handed me his time Give me a little something, give me a little something Word by word and paint by number Take this girl lightning and thunder Shake her world shake baby shake baby shake baby Shake baby shake baby shake baby Word by word and paint by number Take this girl lightning and thunder Shake her world shake baby shake baby shake baby Shake baby shake baby shake baby Shake baby shake baby shake baby Shake baby shake baby shake
