I wanna be all you need, baby

And I want you to be my superwoman

Boy, I will be your friend forever

Well, gon' and leave me that heart and you can get mine (Ayy)

If you're in the dark, I'll be a sunlight (Ayy)

'Cause all you need is my love

It's a shake down, shake down

Girl, I wanna share my existence

And through time my love will stay persistent, boy

All of me is what you're getting, let the world be the witness

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

Girl, 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

Ooh, I'm taking your love

Won't you just give it up

[Bridge: Mary J. Blige, Usher, & Both]

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

If love is a crime

Let love be the judge, I receive the verdict

Now, take me, baby in your arms (Take me in your arms)

Hold me tight, don't put up a fight (Oh)

It's a shake down, shake down

Come on baby, get down, get down (Get down)

I'm willing to do some time, baby (Do your time, oh)

To make sure that your love is mine, all mine

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige, with Usher & Usher]

Shake down, shake down

I'm robbing you for your love

I'm robbing you for your love (Ooh-wee, baby)

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

And you ain't gotta say nothing (Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh)

It's a shake down, shake down, down

Shake down, shake down, down (Shake down)

Shake down, shake down, down

Shake down, shake down

I'm robbing you for your love

[Bridge: Mary J. Blige & Usher]

'Cause it's a shake down, shake down (Shake down, shake down)

Shake down, shake down (Shake down, shake down)

Oh, 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)

Shake down, shake down (Shake down, shake down)
