Lyrics
(Start to give me) The Shakes
Well, she’s stoned, and she’s drunk
She’s got a boyfriend, and he’s just a punk
They drive around, the windows down,
So they can spread that shit out all over town
Well, he’s lost, and she’s late,
They call the doctor up to make it a date
They see signs, they make turns
So they can get what they need and not what they’ve earned
She’s the girl of my dreams and
That’s why I’m lying here wide awake
Every time I think about her
Oh, it starts to give me the shakes
Well, she’s pretty when she’s mad
She’s got issues leading back to her dad
I got to move, I need a line,
She’s got me shaking baby all of the time
She’s the girl of my dreams and
That’s why I’m lying here wide awake
Every time I think about her
Oh, it starts to give me the shakes
Well, he’s broke, and she’s pissed,
They got a feeling maybe something they missed
They drive around, the windows down
So when the flood comes up, they’ll be the first to drown
She’s the girl of my dreams and
That’s why I’m lying here wide awake
Every time I think about her
Oh, it starts to give me the shakes
