Lyrics

She was a fast machine
 
She kept her motor clean
 
She was the best damn woman I had ever seen
 
She had the sightless eyes
 
Telling me no lies
 
Knockin' me out with those American thighs
 
Taking more than her share
 
Had me fighting for air
 
She told me to come but I was already there
 
'Cause the walls start shaking
 
The earth was quaking
 
My mind was aching
 
And we were making it and you
 

Shook me all night long
 
Yeah you shook me all night long
 

Working double time
 
On the seduction line
 
She was one of a kind, she's just mine all mine
 
Wanted no applause
 
Just another course
 
Made a meal out of me and came back for more
 
Had to cool me down
 
To take another round
 
Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing
 
'Cause the walls were shaking
 
The earth was quaking
 
My mind was aching
 
And we were making it and you
 

Shook me all night long
 
Yeah you shook me all night long
 

And knocked me out and then you
 
Shook me all night long
 
You had me shakin' and you
 
Shook me all night long
 
Yeah you shook me
 
Well you took me
 

You really took me and you
 
Shook me all night long
 
Oh you
 
Shook me all night long
 
Yeah, yeah, you
 
Shook me all night long
 
You really took me and you
 
Yeah you shook me, yeah you shook me
 
All night long
