He grabs his shirt and hits the door
What she needs from him he ignores.
Its a bore. oh its a bore. oh its a bore. oh its a bore.
(oh its a ...)
Blast the radio.
The hits just come and go.
Block out what he knows that he has blown
(that he has blown...)
The night hangs its head
As the fool crawls into bed.
Still his hungry heart begs to be fed
All the words she once said
(that she said. that she said. that she 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.
He can shake the blues,
But you know he still can get confused.
It seems like such a waste
cause he cant shake her.
He can shake his tail,
But you know his moves are getting stale
Hes on the make, but oh, his heart cant fake
That he cant shake her.
He cant shake her.
No, he cant shake her.
Romance falls like rain
But all the motives are insane
Everytime that he plays the game he feels the pain
(he feels the pain. who is to blame? who is to blame? )
He finds a joint thats jive
Guys are spinning girls like 45s.
All of the live bait sink for his lines they are so high
He knows he is beat
As his heart puts on the heat
Run from the street that dont even fit his feet
(dont fit his feet. now he can see. now he can really see)
Tell him heres a telephone
He can beg to let the fool come home
He tells her that his lifes a drag alone
(cant be alone)
He can shake the blues,
But you know he still can get confused.
It seems like such a waste
cause he cant shake her.
He can shake his tail,
But you know his moves are getting stale
Hes on the make, but oh, his heart cant fake
That he cant shake her.
He cant shake her.
No, he cant shake her.
