Modern Shakedown

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You draped my heartache in gold Threw me out with your reputation 40 days in the cold Hey now, I'm heading for a break down Cigarette for your time A double shot for your cheap affection You wanna prize for your crime? Hey now, I'll put you in your place now [Refrain] Hands up It's the break down Wake up (Yeah) It's a modern shakedown [Chorus 1] I'm not the physical type But I'm pushing you around tonight Don't make me tell you one more time It's a shakedown, a shakedown [Verse 2] I got a reason to bite You got a taste of your own rejection It's just a matter of time Till I getcha, I'm coming to getcha Ain't no doubt in my mind I'll put you down with no hesitation I'll be taking what's mine Tension, have I got your attention? [Refrain] Hands up It's the break down Wake up It's a modern shakedown Hands up It's the break down Wake up It's a modern shakedown [Chorus 1] I'm not the physical type But I'm pushing you around tonight Don't make me tell you one more time It's a shakedown, a shakedown [Chorus 2] I'm not a criminal, no But you're messing 'round with my soul I gotta take back what you stole It's a shakedown, a shakedown [Bridge] Love is strange How the bridges burn Hey, old flame Now the table's turned Awe, I fell for nothing Now I'm making up for it Your little masquerade [Pre-Chorus] Hey, ey, ey, ey Give it up Give it now Get it up Get it up now, now, now [Chorus 1] I'm not the physical type But I'm pushing you around tonight Don't make me tell you one more time It's a shakedown, a shakedown [Chorus 2] I'm not a criminal, no But you're messing 'round with my soul I gotta take back what you stole It's a shakedown, a shakedown
