shaker song
Singer:manhattan transfer, the
he grabs his shirt and hits the door
what she needs from him he ignores
it's a bore. oh it's a bore. oh it's a bore. oh it's a bore
the hits just come and go
block out what he knows that he has blown
as the fool crawls into bed
still his hungry heart begs to be fed
all the words she once said
so then he grabs his chevrolet
in one more attempt to get away
but the thoughts of all the crimes of passion lay in his way
but you know he still can get confused
it seems like such a waste
'cause he can't shake her
but you know his moves are getting stale
but all the motives are insane
everytime that he plays the game he feels the pain
he finds a joint that's jive
guys are spinning girls like 45's
all of the live bait sink for his lines they are so high
as his heart puts on the heat
run from the street that don't even fit his feet
tell him here's a telephone
he can beg to let the fool come home
he tells her that his life's a drag alone
but you know he still can get confused
it seems like such a waste
'cause he can't shake her
but you know his moves are getting stale
