Shaking You Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Why do I have to care for you?
When I should have known to stay away
Why was I there for you?

(Verse 2)
I don't know how I lost my touch
I never believed that I could ever want
Somebody's love so much

(Chorus)
Time can shake me loose from the blues
But who would know I'd be this slow
Shaking you

(Verse 3)
I don't know what I'm looking for
I just let the arrows go
And hope I find what I'm shooting for

(Bridge)
So don't say that you'll be there for me
If you don't care for me
I'll be gone
'Cause I don't have the strength to be this strong
Tell me what to do
Who knew that I'd take so long
Shaking you
(Verse 4)
Now I'm waiting to hit the ground
I'm painting my love for you in corners I know I will get around

(Chorus)
Time can shake me loose from the blues
But who would know I'd be this slow
Shaking you

(Verse 3)
I don't know what I'm looking for
I just let the arrows go
And hope I find what I am shooting for

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
