500 (Shake Baby Shake) Lyrics
[Chorus]
Shake, baby, shake
You know I can fit you in my arms
Brake, baby, brake
Taking me in with all your charms
[Verse 1]
I've never been inside you but you're so alluring
They call you Little Mouse by name in Rome and Turin
Looking now at your famous shape
They don't make them like you anymore
[Chorus]
Shake, baby, shake
You know I can fit you in my arms
Brake, baby, brake
Taking me in with all your charms
[Verse 2]
When things are looking good there's always complications
I can't be with you so I'm at the railway station
Let's run away and be so alive
Escape the drudgery of this nine-to-five
[Chorus]
Shake, baby, shake
You know I can fit you in my arms
Brake, baby, brake
Taking me in with all your charms
Shake, baby, shake
You know I worship from afar
Brake, baby, brake
How I wish you were my car
Shake, baby, shake
You know I can fit you in my arms
Brake, baby, brake
Taking me in with all your charms
Shake, baby, shake
Shake, baby, shake
Shake, baby, shake
Shake, baby, shake, I will
Shake, baby, shake
You know I can fit you in my arms
Brake, baby, brake
Taking me in with all your charms
[Verse 1]
I've never been inside you but you're so alluring
They call you Little Mouse by name in Rome and Turin
Looking now at your famous shape
They don't make them like you anymore
[Chorus]
Shake, baby, shake
You know I can fit you in my arms
Brake, baby, brake
Taking me in with all your charms
[Verse 2]
When things are looking good there's always complications
I can't be with you so I'm at the railway station
Let's run away and be so alive
Escape the drudgery of this nine-to-five
[Chorus]
Shake, baby, shake
You know I can fit you in my arms
Brake, baby, brake
Taking me in with all your charms
Shake, baby, shake
You know I worship from afar
Brake, baby, brake
How I wish you were my car
Shake, baby, shake
You know I can fit you in my arms
Brake, baby, brake
Taking me in with all your charms
Shake, baby, shake
Shake, baby, shake
Shake, baby, shake
Shake, baby, shake, I will
