Lately everybody's so self-conscious
People talk about each other, so heartless
But I don't wanna hear those conversations
I just want to feel the good vibrations

Whatever happened to the simple pleasures?
It's hard to live when there's so much pressure
But I don't want to think about the ending
'Cause every moment is a new beginning
You know life's too short to be complicated
Sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes you gotta shake
Shake what your momma gave you
Pull out your Michael J moves
And dance with the record on
Sometimes you gotta get
Down, down at the supermarket
Even if there's people watching
Just because you like the song
Sometimes you gotta just
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Sometimes you gotta just
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

Do we really even know what matters?
When we stuck inside the same old patterns
You know it's easy to forget that feeling
When the kid in your heart stops dreaming
Doesn't matter if you're six or sixty
It doesn't matter if you're rich or thrifty
If the moment feels right, just do it
Who cares if you're lookin' foolish?

You know life's too short to be complicated
Sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes you gotta shake
Shake what your momma gave you
Pull out your Michael J moves
And dance with the record on
Sometimes you gotta get
Down, down at the supermarket
Even if there's people watching
Just because you like the song
Sometimes you gotta just
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Sometimes you gotta just
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

Tell me, is it wrong if it makes you feel right?
You'll never know if you don't even try
Let it go, you might find that you like to

Shake
Shake what your momma gave you
Pull out your Michael J moves
And dance with the record on
Sometimes you gotta get
Down, down at the supermarket
Even if there's people watching
Just because you like the song

Sometimes you gotta just shake
Shake what your momma gave you
Pull out your Michael J moves
And dance with the record on
Sometimes you gotta get
Down, down at the supermarket
Even if there's people watching
Just because you like the song
Sometimes you gotta just
Shake (Shake a little, shake a little now)
Shake (Shake a little, shake a little now)
Sometimes you gotta shake
Shake (Shake a little, shake a little now)
Shake a little, shake a little now

Sometimes you gotta just shake
