She was a fast machine
She kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman I had ever seen
She had the sightless eyes
Telling me no lies
Knockin' me out with those American thighs
Taking more than her share
Had me fighting for air
She told me to come but I was already there

'Cause the walls start shaking
The earth was quaking
My mind was aching
And we were making it and you -

CHORUS:
Shook me all night long Yeah you shook me all night long Working double time
On the seduction line
She was one of a kind, she's just mine all mine
She wanted no applause
Just another course
Made a meal out of me and came back for more
Had to cool me down
To take another round
Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing

'Cause the walls were shaking
The earth was quaking
My mind was aching
And we were making it and you -

CHORUS:
Shook me all night long Yeah you shook me all night long And knocked me out and then you
Shook me all night long
You had me shakin' and you
Shook me all night long
Yeah you shook me
Well you took me

You reall took me and you
Shook me all night long
Ooooh you
Shook me all night long
Yeah, yeah, you
Shook me all night long

Your really took me and you
Yeah you shook me, yeah you shook me
All night long

    General Comment:After having heard this song at least few thousand, maybe ten thousand times over the last decade, I think I've finally reached an epiphany on the meaning behind "sightless eyes." It's not as complicated as everyone makes it out to be. He's talking about her boobs.

    General Comment:Love the band. Great song. Let's see if tonight this will be my song. If not tonight, than later this week or next weekend? A fun sex song although this one is not the best out there.

    Is this song about a blind woman?

    General Comment:Great song, but after awhile it's kind of like Sex on Fire...so overplayed that you have to wonder if the person is a player or a prostitute. Hopefully the latter as it's a paid position, although limited to a decade or so due to the aging process. Let's face it, ANYONE can have lots of sex, but some are capable of love. I've known one who is not and will never know what it feels to be loved for who s/he is. I pity (yes, pity) him/her. S/he's pathetic. A waste of time...and also too ignorant to at least get paid for his/her services to the unsuspecting:)

    General Comment:Classic. Great song to play after a Christmas party with mixed drinks; beer; good music; and fun people...and after trying out the fire pit in the back yard under the moonlight. Mmmmmmmmmm. It's been too long!

    General Comment:Such a rock classic. Always loved this track. It's quite obvious what it's about:) No comments on this since 2009? I guess people have been too busy doing rather than playing on this site :) I think y'all single folk should go out tonight and every night and enjoy music like this...and a romp in the hay with a mutually-interested partner. Life is too short not to enjoy, especially when you are single. Of course, married people might enjoy this tune as well. It's just a great classic with a great beat.

    General Comment:This song is about a 69 position. He is buried deep hence can't breath but comes up for air to see her American thighs. She is rocking his ?alls and stroking waiting for the surprise.

    General Comment:Also i disagree with the people who think ACDC were bisexuals i think there name stands for Anti Christ, Devil Child. Even though that's still not good either. but they have all these songs about women and none about guys. Which is good. cuz that would be kinda gross.
