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
