To attract the stares and frowns,
wear your pyjamas downtown
when there's no one else around
painted blue across the wall
We're never lost for words,
we just like the way we fall
You like my girl, well that's fine
But you know I didn't make her,
I got no right to call her mine
Through the night, through the town
One thing you have to understand
Every time she takes my hand it starts
Shaking, shaking, shaking, shaking,
shaking, shaking, shaking, shaking
but she's moved down to Victoria
Instead I drive up and down her street
wearing sunglasses she picked for you
We both understand the rules,
we both know each other's ways
But like the old folks say,
chivalry is buried nowadays
You're like my girl, well that's fine
But you know I didn't make her,
I've got no right to call her mine
Through the night, through the town
Don't think that we can't see you,
One thing you have to understand,
every time she takes my hand
It starts to shake and shake and shake and shake
and shake and shake and shake and shake
You're like my girl, that's alright
But we were born to be together
If only for one night in the dark
Cause I saw you sneaking round
Then I recognised the pain
But you have to know it now
She seems to have a power
My hands start shaking, shaking, shaking, shaking,
shaking, shaking, shaking, shaking
