Mark Heard - Shaking lyrics

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
