Shake Down

Billy Squier

Rock, rock, never stop, take your passion to the top

Rock, rock, never stop, don't stop, don't drop



The strangers in the darkness, this passion for the fight

An obsession finds it burning with a fire in the night

I see that girl, she's coming, she's walking soft and slow

Says she's gonna take me, but I don't know where'd she go



Once you left, you'll know who answers

You will walk a lonesome mile

I'm prepared to take my chances, I'm prepared to change my style



Oh ho ho Shake it down again

Oh ho ho We're goin' down again

(Rock, rock, never stop, don't stop, don't drop)



I'm sitting in the bedroom, and I'm feeling awful strange

I see it in their faces everyone I meet

I feel her arms around me, I feel it in my blood

And I swear I'm on the battle, she's lying and figured out



When you save your reputation, when you got no more to give

She can be my inspiration, she can be my will to live



Oh ho ho Shake me down again, take me down

Oh ho ho Take me down again

Oh ho ho Shake me down again, do it to me all night

Oh ho ho We're goin' down again, yeah



Aaaahh! (guitar solo)



Rock, rock, never stop, take your passion to the top

All right, (all right) all right...WOO!

Rock, rock, never stop, take your passion, shoot your shot

Come on now, baby!



Oh ho ho Shake me down again, shake me downtown

Oh ho ho We're goin' down again

Oh ho ho Shake me down again, ooh shake me down again

Oh ho ho We're goin' down again, ooh-woo

Oh ho ho Shake me down again
