Can't Shake It

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
When we go out dancing on a Friday night I get this funny feeling something's not quite right My sense of rhythm is incontrovertibly shite I can't fake it I can see the pity in your big brown eyes The perpetrator lies between my back and my thighs It doesn't want to wiggle though I try try try I can't make it I get the feeling that I look absurd I get the feeling that I look absurd, and it hurts I just can't shake it Couldn't walk the line inside the country scene And disco was a flop I'm sure no dancing queen Couldn't really qualify for breakdancing I just break it Tried moving my body to the latest hit Someone called the nurse thought I was having a fit I execute the moonwalk like I stepped in shit I can't take it I get the feeling that I look absurd I get the feeling that I look absurd - and it hurts I just can't shake it
