Let's drop!
Yeah, come on
Shake, shake

I'll take you home
If you don't leave me at the front door
(Leave me at the front door)
Your body's cold
But girl, we're gettin' so warm
And I was thinking of ways
That I could get inside
(Get inside)

Tonight you're falling in love
Let me go now
This feeling's tearing me up
Here we go now

Now if she does it like this
Will you do it like that?
Now if she touches like this
Will you touch her like that?
Now if she moves like this
Will you move her like that?
Come on, shake, shake
Shake, shake, shake it

[Chorus: Repeat x4]
Shake, shake
Shake, shake, shake it

Your lips tremble
But your eyes are in a straight stare
(In a straight stare)
We're on the bed
But your clothes are laying right there
And I was thinking of places
That I could hide
(I could hide)

Tonight you're falling in love
Let me go now
This feeling's tearing me up
Here we go now

Now if she does it like this
Will you do it like that?
Now if she touches like this
Will you touch her like that?
Now if she moves like this
Will you move her like that?
Come on, shake, shake
Shake, shake, shake it

[Chorus: Repeat x4]

I saw you dancing
And I couldn't get you off my mind
I could tell that you could tell
That I was taking my time
But I was thinking of ways
To get you to stay tonight
Body's shaking
Turn me on so I can turn off the lights

Now if she does it like this
Will you do it like that?
Now if she touches like this
Will you touch her like that?
Now if she moves like this
Will you move her like that?
Come on, shake, shake
Shake, shake, shake it

[Chorus: Repeat x4]

    Song Meaning:Sex at a party/club is all I can think of! The sex part being these lyrics: And I was thinking of ways, That I could get inside; We're on the bed, But your clothes are laying right there; Turn me on so I can turn off the lights (best line in my opinion). And the party/club part being these lyrics: I saw you dancing And I couldn't get you off my mind; I'll take you home, If you don't leave me at the front door (front door could be door of club/house) plus the video looks alot like a party.

    General Comment:I think this song is about junkie sex, meaning sex and drugs...plus it is also about muliple lovers. Not exactly Disney stuff...or is it? Hard to tell who is gonna be clean now days and who isn't. I hate it when I learn to like some artist and it turns out they are bad role models. I know my cooment is heavy, but for trace and his new grilfreind from Disney..and thier new baby I hoep these two make it. Drugs will ruin that, though...at least that is how it appears now.

    General Comment:Most of you are right...this song is about sex. I agree, but I think it is about junkie sex...which means it is about drugs also...and it may even be about multiple partners during sex. Deifinitely not Disney stuff...or is it...that is the real question now days. Look in to the future and you may see big problems for Trace Cyrus and his asian Disney girlfriend. Hope for thier unborn child's sake that they live clean and happy. They have the potential to be great parents...but only if they remain drug free. This comment is probably too heavy.

    General Comment:This song will forever be my anthem.

    My friend once asked me if Shake It was about dancing, hmmm...(if you know what I mean) or both. I said both, as I'm sure any of you would xD.

    Seriously. This song NEVER gets old. It's been my favorite song since April '09, and I don't think it will ever change.

    Long live Metro Station!

    General Comment:I definately think this entire song is about a guy cheating on his girlfriend- here's my breakdown of the lyrics:

    Your lips tremble (nervous)
    But your eyes are in a straight stare (determined)
    (In a straight stare)
    We're on the bed
    But your clothes are laying right there (keep and eye on where they are in case she is to hide)
    And I was thinking of places
    That I could hide (hide in the literal sense but also sexual... p in the v?)
    (I could hide)

    Tonight you're falling in love (you're referring to the girl... not him)
    Let me go now (he's basically telling her to stop bc he has no self control)
    This feeling's tearing me up (he is regretting any of it going on)
    Here we go now (he says fuck it and decides to cheat)

    Now if she does it like this
    Will you do it like that?
    Now if she touches like this
    Will you touch her right back?
    Now if she moves like this
    Will you move her like that? (i gather from this it is his conscience going back and forth... basically, if she kisses, do you kiss back, if she touches you, do you touch her back...etc.)

    Let me know your thoughts! Either way, its a killer song to rock out to in the car...
