(M. Crenshaw)
When we walk together down the street
Drawing fire from every eye we meet
Ain't gonna bother me or you
If we shake up their minds for a moment or two
In a barroom in the middle of town
See all the people try to stare us down
When we dance like lovers do (oh no)
Let's shake up their minds for a moment or two
Only a moment, but when it's past
Both sides, together at last
We'll really and truly see
What it is that they don't wanna be
(well, well, well)
It's all right we'll be a long gone soon
They better look while it's opertune
'Cause we're only drifting through
Let's shake up their minds for a moment or two.
Only a moment, but when it's past
Both sides, together at last
We'll really and truly see
What it is that they don't wanna be
(well, no, no)
It's all right we'll be a long gone soon
They better look while it's opertune
'Cause we're only drifting through, yeah yeah
Let's shake up their minds for a moment or two
Yeah, let's shake up their minds for a moment or two
Don't you know we're gonna shake up their minds
Let's shake up their little minds....
