Shaking
by Mark Heard

Album: Hammers & Nails

She was a little girl from far away who came to stay
She lives out East a way beyond the city haze
They say she's long and fair
With Summer flowers in her hair
She bears the lovely name
Of some Ancient Spanish saint

You don't wanna know her
Or wanna get on her bad side
You don't want her to come looking for you
If you value your life

SHE'LL HAVE YOU SHAKING
YOU DON'T WANNA GO FEEL HER TOUCH, SHAKING
ROCKING AND REELING AND ALL SHOOK UP, SHAKING
A KIND OF PASSION THAT'S JUST TOO MUCH, SHAKING
YOU DON'T WANNA GO SHAKING

The girl has got her faults
She sleeps a lot and that's not all
Every now and then
She comes looking for a wild time
Though she's the quiet sort
When she cuts loose she can't be stopped
She's a match for any chap
Who's dumb enough to try

If she comes to see you
You'd best be out of town
She'll jolt you with her sweet caress
And spin your world around

She'll shake the teeth from your skeleton
Shake your house from its foundation
When she walks on your shattered peace
She leave her footprints size 8.3

When she comes to town
The place she walks is holy ground
At about the speed of sound
She'll have you on your knees
Well, she don't mean no harm
When she takes you in her loving arms
But when she's spent her charm
You'll never be the same

If you want a permanent memory
Of a moment in your life
Just meet her in a high-rise
And hang on for your life
