Shimmy Shimmy Lyrics by Minus The Modest

Fly’n High

2016

[Minus The Modest]
[verse 1]
I was fifteen, with a case of the blues
All these big dreams, still nothing to do
Running through the fields in the that small town
Looking for someone to get me through
I guess that was you
She was fifteen, with a lot to prove
Doing everything she could to make her father proud
But what's the fucking use
We were both day dreaming, asking questions about eternity
I wish I could stay
Acting foolish in the bed until I had to leave
I wish I could stay
She was something like a beauty queen
I'm more like a beast
I was running from my family
She's all I could need
A couple years have passed and everything's still simple and sweet
She's in the stands when I play ball
I'm in the crowd when she's dancing
(chorus)
Shimmy shimmy rock left right one time
I could never get you off my god damn mind
Show me what I had, what he got, not mine
Shimmy shimmy rock left right one time
All I know is what I want
And people always changing, ya ya
Hold me down don't hold me close
Unless you feel like breaking, ya ya
Cause I'm a bad man in a cruel world
Looking for a good girl to hold me down
Said I'm a bad man in a cruel world
Looking for a good girl to hold me down
Hold me down don't hold me close x4
[verse 2]
We're entertained a little different these days
Went from laying in the bed watching movies
Now I'm making moves on you switching lanes
And that's okay
I'm buzzing off a feeling, we would never drink
We cruise out to the river, park the car and play
She made me wait a year but now it's every day
It's every day
She used to tell me take it slow but now she asks for everything
Momma don't like it but I be staying over anyway
All my homies hate it when I'm with you but they jealous babe
Everybody wants something just like this
I was eighteen, with a case of the blues
All of these big city dreams
So much shit to do
Running through the fields in that small town
Looking for something that's new
I guess that's not you
She was 18 with a lot to prove
Doing everything she could
To show the world that she could do what they do
Dancing with the journey of youth
(chorus)
We graduate this week
But on this weekend I'll be sneaking
To another woman's house where I'll be sleeping for the evening
Then I'll tell you my decision
Is there a difference between two perfect women
I feel so guilty and pathetic
And I know you won't forgive me
I'll tell you that I regret it
And I know that won't mean shit but please
Move for me one more time
Let me see you dance girl
(chorus)
