Don't Shake Me Up - Tanita Tikaram

This is something to thank your fortune for

Although I got nothing & you got something

See I’m not fit to be an open door

Or the mat you wipe your feet upon

Please someone

Don’t shake me up Many’s the time I’ve thought of you

Lying in my bed in the afternoon

No-one for company

This is the month that puts tomorrow back

Only you got something, I got sidetracked

Just for once I’d like my lover mapped

For me to write my name upon

Please someone

Don’t shake me up Many’s the time I’ve thought of you

Lying in your bed with the ocean view

Not me for company

Don’t shake me up There’ll be a time when I’m far from you

When I will see the trick of you

And the trick of you and me Then the burden of my heart (say something)

Will not sing a sorry song

Yea, the burden of my heart

Will not be the sorry, be the sorry one

No, don’t shake me up Many’s the time I’ve thought of you

Lying in your bed in the afternoon…
