How can you stand this waiting around
for the telephone to ring
you want him bad but you can't let it show
'cos you are scared of losing him
he lets yu down when he stands you up
and you swear he's history
'cos you're got to choice
when you hear his voice saying,
make love to me, make love to me
... one more time
he keeps you on the borderline
he's got a one track mind
and I can see by your smile
that you're two of a kind
you're two of a kind
You say it;s only a matter of time
and there must be someone else
you wanna trust in his promises
but you'll never fool yourself
now you're reading into his every move
like he only tells you lies
and then you 're on the phone
and he's on his own sayin
"come round tonight, make love to me"
... one more time
he keeps you on the borderline
he's got a one track mind
and I can see by your smile
that you're two of a kind
you're two of a kind
... one more time
he keeps you on the borderline
he's got a one track mind
and I can see by your smile
that you're two of a kind
he's got you on the borderline
he keeps you on the borderline
he's got a one track mind
and I can see by your smile
that you're two of a kind[Ow, shake it!
Yeah, oh, you're lookin' sweet, baby
Yes, indeedy
Funky (get down)]
We was on a dancefloor shakin' our thing
To a funky beat with a go-go swing
Everyone was watching, they stared in shock
Amazed at how Salt and Pepa was rock-
In the place with a smile on my face
Some got upset and then tried to base
They called us nasty, said we danced dirty
Claimed we were freaks, cheap, even flirty
Pepa got pissed and pulled out a pump
I was all set not to jet but to jump
Spin broke it up and asked not to break
Said, "They don't understand the way you..."
CHORUS
Shake your thang, owww
Do what you wanna do
I can't tell you how to catch a groove
It's your thang (It's your thing)
Do what you wanna do
I won't tell you who to sock it to
Shake that thing, c'mon, y'all, shake it
We could get loose, but we can't get naked
It's not a crime, it's legal, we answered
Look again - see? We're just dancin'
Relax a bit, now ain't that better?
I think it's time for you to get a...
Partner, doe-see, gather in closely
I wanna see the ones that mostly
Front on a cutie, hope you're not fruity
Do your duty and...
CHORUS
Come on, y'all, shake that thing
You got to just show no shame
I want you to shake that thing
Come on, y'all, show no shame
Shake your thang, yeah yeah
Oh, you're lookin' sweet, baby
Owww, I won't tell you how to catch a groove
It's my thing, and I'll swing it the way that I feel
With a little seduction and some sex appeal
It's Friday night, and I just got paid
I'm checking out the fella with the high-top fade
Moving in closely, ready for the kill
Steppin' on a dancefloor, think you're ill<
