Shake Lyrics
Hey, hey, hey
Verse:
I met this girl down the block from me
Used to tell myself she was too hot for me
But then I saw her at the corner store
So I ran on over just to grab the door
I got her number, we started chillin', hey
We started buzzin', we got addicted
Now I, I'm the one she can't live without
I bet that's her right now
Chorus:
Shorty hittin' me up
Says she wanna re-up
Knows I got the best in town
'Cause when she get the shivers
She knows that I'll deliver
I'm the one that holds her down
She's about to break, break, break, break, break
And I won't let her wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
It's gettin' kinda late, late, late, late, late
And she just wanna shake, shake, shake
Shake, shake
Verse:
One day she started texting me
Asked if she could borrow that recipe
I told her: "Lovin' you is my specialty"
She said "Well give it up, up
Give it up, up"
When she's away, it's such a downer
And I miss her every time I'm not around her
'Cause she, she's the one I can't live without
I hope that's her right now
Chorus
Bridge:
I'm hooked on her
I must admit it
I'd do any, I'd do anything to get it
She hooked on me, a bad habit
She'd do any, she'd do anything to have it
When she calls, I know exactly what she wants from me
Yeah, anytime I hear my phone ringin'
Oohh, she wants to shake it with me
Chorus x2

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
I actually love this song even though its about a booty call haha it still has a great beat and i love Jesse!
I don't think the meaning is totally self explanatory because I think he is using a drug addiction metaphor for a thing he has with this girl. Some could think it was about drugs, and another about sex.
Eh, he doesn't really talk about her as a drug until the end.. And it's pretty self explanatory unless your like, a teeniebopper that doesn't really understand sex and stuff yet.. So I guess it depends :) but for thr most part it's not really about drugs.

obviously you dont know anything about drugs if you say its not about drugs. it seems to me its about ecstasy. he talks about buzzin and how she calls him to re up. im sorry but that is talking about rolling. the whole song tal;ks about drugs.

Im sorry but I think this song is HOTTTT!! It sounds great in a club, and yeah, it may be a tad dirty, but what song today isnt? lol
"re-up" is when drug addicts need another high. They're coming down from a high and need another to satisfy them. I don't think he's talking about drugs in this song per se. I think he's using the re-up analogy more towards sex. Like she knows he gives the best sex in town and whenever she needs a fix (or needs sex) she calls him because he's the best. It's almost like they're hooked on each other and can't get enough, kind of like addicts w/ their perticular drugs..
So yeah thats my analogy. Either way it's a hot song w/ a good beat.
While this song may seem like it's sex-related, it's not. The real meaning is hidden between the lines - you really have to analyze it.
Jesse McCartney is running a pizza delivery business/fast food store.
[Knows I got the best in town] [And she just want to shake] (This is actually meant to be "she just wants a shake".) This girl is placing an order with him (a milkshake) because she knows that he has the best in town.
[And I won't let her wait] The girl is getting impatient because the pizza is taking a while. Jesse doesn't want to risk his restaurant's reputation by holding up the line and earning himself bad reviews.
[One day she started texting me] Jesse's new pizza restaurant is now accepting orders via text.
[Asking if she could borrow that recipe] She liked the pizza so much that she wanted to get their recipe (Jesse wouldn't give it to her, obviously. It's top secret).
[When she calls, I know Exactly what she wants from me Every time I hear my phone ringing] This girl is a valued customer at Jesse's pizza restaurant because she comes in/calls up so often that he knows what to expect from her and what her order is going to be.
Clearly, this song is about the dependency this girl has on Jesse's pizzas and milkshakes. It tells the story of a valued customer and the evolution of a takeaway business.
seriously, jesse?!!!??!?!!!!????!?!? WOW I USED TO LIKE YOU SO MUCH
What a stupid song... :/ I can't believe mainstream radio now. He sounds like an older Justin bieber (yes I know he came before jb) and this song is like... Kinda dirty o.o oh, and the meaning is self explanatory.
