We rise to greet the morning light
Well, can't find my shoes, but that's alright
All I knew just flew out the window
All I had gathered won't let my mind grow
I don't know but I feel lighter
Yeah, everything around me seems much brighter
Red and green in between, think I'm going crazy
Everybody movin' much too slow
'Cause all I want is to be near you
All I need is your sweet love
I don't quite know which way to go
You've changed the world around me
Don't let go, I can't get enough
Night time just dropped by
Back to hide the ugly for a while
Oh, when the lights go on, we go out
Down to a place where the music's loud
Shake your money maker
Shake it all around
Shake your money maker
Oh, why don't you let it all hang down?
Shake your money maker
Shake it just for me
Shake your money maker
Oh, why don't you let yourself go free?
Every time I see her dancing
Makes me wanna jump with joy
The way she moves makes my heart break
Just one look and I'm her toy
I don't know why
She makes me feel like a different guy
Now, shake it, now, take it
Shake it, now, take it
Oh, yeah
Shake it
Shake your money maker
Shake it all around
Shake your money maker
Why don't you let it all hang down?
Shake your money maker
Shake it just for me
Shake your money maker
Oh, why don't you let yourself go free?
Every time I see her dancing
Makes me wanna jump with joy
The way she moves makes my heart break
Just one look and I'm her toy
I don't know why
She makes me feel like a different guy
Purple sound
Baby, can you feel it?
Swirlin' round
I don't know
Scream out loud
Baby, let your mind roll off the ground
