[Intro]
It's a shakedown
It's a shakedown
[Verse 1]
I been thinking about it
And don't try to deny it
It ain't been easy, babe
Stop trying to fight it, ooh
Halfhearted alibis
Hard-hitting dirty lies
Lowdown and sleazy, babe
But I'll cut you down to size
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh no, oh no
It's a shakedown, mama
(It's a shakedown)
It's a shakedown, mama
(It's a shakedown)
[Chorus]
It's a shakedown, mama
So get in the groove
Not a breakdown, mama
So get up and move
Oh no, oh no
It's a shakedown, mama
It's a shakedown, mama
[Verse 2]
You hate to need me
But you love to hate me
There ain't no compromise
Don't underrate me
I been walking that dark side
I been talking undignified
It ain't been easy, babe
And I hope you're satisfied
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh no, oh no
It's a shakedown, mama
(It's a shakedown)
It's a shakedown, mama
(It's a shakedown)
[Chorus]
It's a shakedown, mama
So get in the groove
Not a breakdown, mama
So get up and move
Oh no, oh no
It's a shakedown, mama
Yeah, it's a shakedown, mama
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
It's a shakedown, mama
So get in the groove
Not a breakdown, mama
So get up and move
Oh no, oh no
It's a shakedown, mama (Ooh)
It's a shakedown, mama (Alright)
It's a shakedown, mama
