"Shakedown" lyrics

It's a shakedown
It's a shakedown

I been thinking about it
And don't try to deny it
It ain't been easy babe
Stop trying to fight it
Half-hearted alibis
Hard-hitting dirty lies
Low-down and sleazy babe
But I'll cut you down to size

Oh no... oh no...
It's a shakedown mama
(It's a shakedown)
It's a shakedown mama
(It's a shakedown)

It's a shakedown mama
So get in the groove
Not a breakdown mama
So get up and move
Oh no... oh no...
It's a shakedown mama
It's a shakedown mama

You hate to need me
But you love to hate me
There ain't no compromise
Don't underrate me
I been walking that dark side
I been talking undignified
It ain't been easy babe
And I hope you're satisfied

Oh no... oh no...
It's a shakedown mama
(It's a shakedown)
It's a shakedown mama
(It's a shakedown)

It's a shakedown mama
So get in the groove
Not a breakdown mama
So get up and move
Oh no... oh no...
It's a shakedown mama
Yeah, it's a shakedown mama

It's a shakedown mama
So get in the groove
Not a breakdown mama
So get up and move
Oh no... oh no...
It's a shakedown mama
It's a shakedown mama
It's a shakedown mama
