Notes and Quotes
Text  
When you move in right up close to me; That's when I get the shakes all over me. a
Quivers down my backbone, I got the shakes [/shivers] down my knee bone,
I have the tremors in my thigh [/back] bone: Shakin' all over.
b
Just the way that you say good night to me; Brings that feelin' on inside of me. c
Well you make me shake and I like it baby (repeat). d
