Nothing Shaking Lyrics

I told you baby a long time ago
You wouldn't listen so I let you go
Now you're back with that same old line
Try my loving just one more time
Have mercy baby, I'm a lonely man
I'm just doing the best I can
Come on baby I'm down on my knees
And there ain't nothing shaking but the leaves on the trees

You heard a story about old Adam and Eve
He didn't know Eve had a little something up her sleeve
Gave him an apple and he took a bite
Got out of Eden then he flew out of sight
Have mercy baby, I'm a lonely man
I'm just doing the best I can
Come on baby I'm down on my knees

My baby's leaving in a long Cadillac
Going away and she ain't coming back
She knows she left me with a troubled mind
The one I love treated me so unkind
Have mercy baby, I'm a lonely man
I'm just doing the best I can
Come on baby I'm down on my knees
And there ain't nothing shaking but the leaves on the trees
And there ain't nothing shaking but the leaves on the trees
And there ain't nothing shaking but the leaves on the

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
