Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I got a fever need a doctor baby
I let my fingers do the walking honey
On my body, I need somebody, I need a flame
I'm gonna knock you off you rocker baby
I'm coming ready or not to catch you honey
Wanna show you, I want to love you, I wanna play
[Pre-Chorus]
You got this power that I can't explain
Take me through the fire
Jump a little higher
Come on rock me highly up and down
Shine your lovely body tonight
I need your
[Chorus]
Shake shake baby shaking drive me crazy
Find a groove I'm going back to my happy days
Shake shake baby shaking drive me crazy
Feel the fire burning I won't take it away
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna show you what I learned my lover
I'm getting ready come a little closer
Satisfaction, need a reaction, wasting no time
I'm gonna knock you off you rocker baby
I'm coming ready or not to catch you honey
Wanna show you, I want to love you, I wanna play
