Shake Down

Oh yeah...

Baby...

Oh, how I wish I was by your side

Oh yeah...

[Verse 1 - Mary J. Blige & Terrence Howard]

I wanna be all you need baby

And I want you to be my superwoman

Boy, I will be your friend forever

Well, gone and leave me that heart and you can get mine

I'm gonna be your baby tonight

If you're in the dark I'll be your some light

Cause all you need is my love

Telling you what's up

So just make room for love

[Chorus - Mary J. Blige & Terrence Howard]

(It's a shake down, shake down)

I'm robbing you for your love

She's robbing me for my love

(It's a shake down, shake down)

Shakedown

Boy, you ain't gotta say nothing

Well, baby put your hands up, then

(Shake down, shake down, down)

Shake down

(Shake down, shake down, down)

(Shake down, shake down, down)

Shake down, shake down

I'm robbing you for your love

[Verse 2 - Mary J. Blige & Terrence Howard]

Girl, I wanna share my existence

And through time my love will stay persistent, boy

All of me is what you getting

Let the world be the witness

Bad times, we'll work it out like fitness or we live it

Cause I vow to give you my all

Boy, I will hold you up, hold you up if you fall

I see us in your chamber

Your heart's in danger

I'm taking your love

Won't you just give it up?

[Chorus ]

(It's a shake down, shake down)

Shake down

I'm robbing you for your love, boy

You robbing me for my love

(It's a shake down, shake down)

Shake down

But you ain't gotta say nothing, oh

(It's a shake down, shake down, down)

Shake down

(Shake down, shake down, down)

(Shake down, shake down, down)

(Shake down, shake down)

[Both]

I'm robbing you for your love

[Bridge - Mary J. Blige & Terrence Howard]

If love is the crime, I'm down for it

If love is the crime

Let love be the judge

I receive the verdict

Now, take me baby

Take me

In your arms

In your arms

Hold me tight

Don't put up a fight

It's a shake down

Shake down

Come on baby, get down

Get down

I'm willing to do some time, baby

Do your time, baby

To make sure that your love is mine

All mine

[Chorus - Mary J. Blige & Terrence Howard]

(It's a shake down, shake down)

I'm robbing you for your love

You robbing me for my love

(It's a shake down, shake down)

Ohhh...

And you ain't gotta say nothing

(Shake down, shake down, down)

(Shake down, shake down, down)

Shake down

(Shake down, shake down, down)

Shake down, shake down, down

(Shake down, shake down)

I'm robbing you for your love

[Verse 3 - Terrence Howard]

(Cause it's a shake down, shake down

Shake down, shake down

Cause it's a shake down

Baby come bring all your love to me

Don't you hesitate baby

Don't put up a fight

Cause it's a shake down, shake down

Shake down, shake down.)

[Outro - Mary J. Blige]

Cause it's a shake down
