[Verse 1]
You draped my heartache in gold
Threw me out with your reputation
40 days in the cold
Hey now, I'm heading for a break down
Cigarette for your time
A double shot for your cheap affection
You wanna prize for your crime?
Hey now, I'll put you in your place now
[Refrain]
Hands up
It's the break down
Wake up (Yeah)
It's a modern shakedown
[Chorus 1]
I'm not the physical type
But I'm pushing you around tonight
Don't make me tell you one more time
It's a shakedown, a shakedown
[Verse 2]
I got a reason to bite
You got a taste of your own rejection
It's just a matter of time
Till I getcha, I'm coming to getcha
Ain't no doubt in my mind
I'll put you down with no hesitation
I'll be taking what's mine
Tension, have I got your attention?
[Refrain]
Hands up
It's the break down
Wake up
It's a modern shakedown
Hands up
It's the break down
Wake up
It's a modern shakedown
[Chorus 1]
I'm not the physical type
But I'm pushing you around tonight
Don't make me tell you one more time
It's a shakedown, a shakedown
[Chorus 2]
I'm not a criminal, no
But you're messing 'round with my soul
I gotta take back what you stole
It's a shakedown, a shakedown
[Bridge]
Love is strange
How the bridges burn
Hey, old flame
Now the table's turned
Awe, I fell for nothing
Now I'm making up for it
Your little masquerade
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, ey, ey, ey
Give it up
Give it now
Get it up
Get it up now, now, now
[Chorus 1]
I'm not the physical type
But I'm pushing you around tonight
Don't make me tell you one more time
It's a shakedown, a shakedown
[Chorus 2]
I'm not a criminal, no
But you're messing 'round with my soul
I gotta take back what you stole
It's a shakedown, a shakedown
