Lyrics:
There’s gonna be a shakedown tonight, when I say what’s been on my mind
There’s gonna be a shakedown tonight, when I say what I feel inside
I’m tired of waiting, foolish games I’m anticipating
I can’t see no reason for your treason
It’s what I feel inside gets deeper every night
There’s gonna be a shakedown tonight, when I say what’s been on my mind
There’s gonna be a shakedown tonight, when I say what I feel inside
I want you to love me tonight but you say something else is on your mind
You’d better beware tonight; very soon you’ll find you’re running out of time
There’s gonna be a shakedown tonight, when I say what’s been on my mind
There’s gonna be a shakedown tonight, when I say what I feel inside
C’mon let me in, come on woman show me where you’ve been
Come on and give me love, you better do it now or get out of town
All right!
There’s gonna be a shakedown tonight, when I say what’s been on my mind
There’s gonna be a shakedown tonight, when I say what I feel inside
There’s gonna be a shake shakedown tonight
A shake shakedown tonight, everybody
A shake shakedown tonight, oh-wo
A shake shakedown tonight
