My woman left me out to twist in the wind
She just left on a whim and ain't nothin' I can do about it
She left me with a fistful of bills
Not a crisp dollar bill, what the hell am I gon' do about it
We had our differences but I can't believe
This is how she would leave, we ain't even get to speak about it
Eleven minutes, seven hours and a week
That's when I was last asleep, it's when she left me, come to think about it
One time, shake it off
Two times, shake it off
Three times, shake it off
These bad dreams, yeah
One time, shake it off
Two times, shake it off
Three times, shake it off
These bad dreams, uh
The other night ago the boss called me late
Wants to talk 'bout some thangs, Monday morning come and see about it
I feel it y'all my job's about to go, feelin' throbs in my skull
Oh, my God I couldn't sleep about it
He told me lately that I've lost all my drive
Gonna cost me my job, is something we can do about it?
This motherf**er's got the balls to complain after all that I gave
Said do what you gotta do about it
One time, shake it off
Two times, shake it off
Three times, shake it off
These bad dreams, yeah
One time, shake it off
Two times, shake it off
Three times, shake it off
Hands in the air y'all
One time, shake it off
Two times, shake it off
Three times, shake it off
These bad dreams, yeah
One time, shake it off
Two times, shake it off
Three times, shake it off
Throw your belongings
Now I lay me down to sleep, yeah
Pray the Lord my soul to keep, same one
If I die before I wake, what
Pray the Lord my soul to take, come on
Now I lay me down to sleep, yeah
Pray the Lord my soul to keep, same one
If I die before I wake
Pray the Lord my soul to take, hey, oh
Sydney, hands in the air
Every night I toss and turn in my sleep
And it hurts when I breathe, I'm gettin' a little worried 'bout it
Combination on the stress and the strain, I ain't slept now for days
And I just can't get my head around it
All the drama in the world that we live
We learn how to give, I can't sit back and do nothin' 'bout it
Wanna know whatever happened to love, compa**ion and d**
Cause it seem like we forgot about it
One time, shake it off
Two times, shake it off
Three times, shake it off
These bad dreams, oh
One time, shake it off
Two times, shake it off
Three times, shake it off
These bad dreams, yeah
One time, shake it off
Two times, shake it off
Three times, shake it off
These bad dreams, oh
One time, shake it off
Two times, shake it off
Three times, shake it off
These bad dreams
