Shake It Off
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
(I gotta shake you off)
'Cause the lovin' ain't the same
And you keep on playin' games
Like you know I'm here to stay
(I gotta shake, shake you off)
Just like the Calgon commercial, I
Really gotta get up outta here
And go somewhere
(I gotta shake you off)
Gotta make that move
Find somebody who
Appreciates all the love I give, boy, I gotta
(I gotta shake, shake you off)
Gotta do what's best for me
Baby, and that means I gotta shake you off
By the time you get this message
It's gonna be too late
So don't bother paging me
'Cause I'll be on my way
See, I grabbed all my diamonds and clothes
Just ask your momma, she knows
You're gonna miss me, baby
Hate to say "I told you so"
Well, at first I didn't know
But now it's clear to me
You would cheat with all your freaks
And lie compulsively
So I packed up my Louis Vuiton
Jumped in your ride and took off
You'll never ever find a girl
Who loves you more than me
(I gotta shake you off)
'Cause the lovin' ain't the same
And you keep on playin' games
Like you know I'm here to stay
(I gotta shake, shake you off)
Just like the Calgon commercial, I
Really gotta get up outta here
And go somewhere
(I gotta shake you off)
Gotta make that move
Find somebody who
Appreciates all the love I give, boy, I gotta
(I gotta shake, shake you off)
Gotta do what's best for me
Baby, and that means I gotta shake you off
I gotta shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off
I found out about a gang
Of your dirty little deeds
With this one and that one by the pool
On the beach, in the streets
Heard y'all was...
Hold up, my phone's breakin' up
I'ma hang up and call the machine right back
I gotta get this off of my mind
You wasn't worth my time
So I've leaving you behind, yeah
'Cause I need a real love in my life
Save this recording because
I'm never coming back home
Baby, I'm gone
Don't cha know
(I gotta shake you off)
'Cause the lovin' ain't the same
And you keep on playin' games
Like you know I'm here to stay
(I gotta shake, shake you off)
Just like the Calgon commercial, I
Really gotta get up outta here
And go somewhere
(I gotta shake you off)
Gotta make that move
Find somebody who
Appreciates all the love I give, boy, I gotta
(I gotta shake, shake you off)
Gotta do what's best for me
Baby, and that means I gotta shake you off
I gotta shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off
(I just gotta shake you off)
'Cause the lovin' ain't the same
And you keep on playin' games
Like you know I'm here to stay
(I gotta shake, shake you off)
Just like the Calgon commercial, I
Really gotta get up outta here
And go somewhere
(I gotta shake you off)
Gotta make that move
Find somebody who
Appreciates all the love I give, boy, I gotta
(I gotta shake, shake you off)
Gotta do what's best for me
Baby, and that means I gotta shake you off
