Shake You Down Lyrics by Gregory Abbott

Shake You Down

1986

[Intro]
Ooh-ooh...
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Girl, I've been watching you
From so far across the floor, now, baby
That's nothing new, I've watched you
So many times before, now, baby
I see that look in your eyes (look in your eyes)
And what it’s telling me
And you know, ooh, girl, that I'm not shy
I'm glad you picked up on my telepathy, now, baby
[Chorus]
You read my mind (You know you did)
Girl I wanna shake you down (oh well, oh well)
I can give you all the lovin' you'll need
(I’m gonna love you)
Come on let me take you down (oh, baby)
We’ll go all the way to heaven
[Verse 2]
Ooooh, I been missing you
And the way you make me feel inside
What can I do?
I can tell you've got your pride now, baby
(Ooh...)
Come to me, well, oh, well
(Won't you come to me)
Let me ease your mind, oh, babe
I've got the remedy, yes, I do
Now give me just a little time
[Chorus]
Here in my mind
Girl, I wanna shake you down
(I wanna rock you down)
(I wanna give it to ya)
I can give you all the lovin' you'll need
(I'm gonna love you)
(Lovin' you'll need)
Come on, let me take you down
(Oh, well, oh, well)
We'll go all the way to heaven
(Come to me tonight)
[Interlude]
Girl, I've been missing you
And you know, it's funny
Every time I get to feelin' this way
I wish I had you near me
I wanna reach out and touch you…
[Bridge]
I can't stop thinking of the things we do
The way you call me, baby, when I'm holding you
I shake and I shiver when I know you're near
Then you whisper in my ear, oh, baby, well, well
[Chorus]
You read my mind (You know you did)
Girl, I wanna shake you down (oh, baby)
(I wanna give it you ya)
I can give you all the lovin’ you'll need
(Ah...)
(Lovin' you'll need)
Come on let me take you down (oh, well, oh, well)
We'll go all the way to heaven
(Come to me tonight)
[Outro]
Eeny-meeny-miny-mo
(You read my mind)
Come on, girl, let’s shock the show
(Girl, I wanna shake you down)
(I wanna give it yo ya)
(I can give you all the lovin' you need)
Ah, babe
Roses are red and violets are blue
(Lovin' you'll need)
I’m gonna rock this world for you
(Come on, let me take you down)
Hey, baby
(We'll go all the way to heaven)
(Come to me tonight)
(You read my mind)
C'mon, sugar, lemme shake you down
(Girl, I wanna shake you down)
I wanna take you down to the ground
(I wanna give it to ya)
I shake and I shiver when I know you're near
(I can give you all the lovin' you need)
C'mon, baby, whisper in my ear
C'mon, sugar, lemme shake you down
(Lovin' you'll need)
I wanna take you down to the ground
(Come on, let me take you down)
I shake and I shiver when I know you're near
(We'll go all the way to heaven)
C'mon, baby, whisper in my ear
