Shake Your Thang (it's Your Thing) Lyrics - 20th Century Masters - Salt N Pepa

We was on a dance floor shakin' our thing 

To a funky beat with a go-go swing 

Everyone was watching, they stared in shock 

Amazed at how Salt and Pepa was rockin the place 

With a smile on my face 

Some got upset and then tried to base 

They called us nasty, said we danced dirty 

Claimed we were freaks, cheap, even flirty 

Pepa got pissed and pulled out a pump 

I was all set not to jet but to jump 

Spin broke it up and asked not to break 

Said, "They don't understand the way you" 

Shake your thang, owww 

Do what you wanna do 

I can't tell you how to catch a groove 

It's your thang (It's your thing) 

Do what you wanna do 

I won't tell you who to sock it to 

Shake that thing, c'mon, y'all, shake it 

We could get loose, but we can't get naked 

It's not a crime, it's legal, we answered 

Look again - see? We're just dancin' 

Relax a bit, now ain't that better? 

I think it's time for you to get a 

Partner, doe-see, gather in closely 

I wanna see the ones that mostly 

Front on a cutie, hope you're not fruity 

Do your duty and 

Shake your thang, owww 

Do what you wanna do 

I can't tell you how to catch a groove 

It's your thang (It's your thing) 

Do what you wanna do 

I won't tell you who to sock it to 

Come on, y'all, shake that thing 

You got to just show no shame 

I want you to shake that thing 

Come on, y'all, show no shame 

Shake your thang, yeah yeah 

Oh, you're lookin' sweet, baby 

Owww, I won't tell you how to catch a groove 

It's my thing, and I'll swing it the way that I feel 

With a little seduction and some sex appeal 

It's Friday night, and I just got paid 

I'm checking out the fella with the high-top fade 

Moving in closely, ready for the kill 

Steppin' on a dance floor, think you're ill 

But if I guy touch my body I just put him in check 

I said, "We just met", "We can't do that yet" 

I'm not a pick-up (no), this ain't a stick up (boy) 

I'm not stuck up (yeah), and turn to kick up 

And just rock, baby-pop, don't stop 

Stick out your butt, and shake what you got 

Shake your thang, owww 

Do what you wanna do 

I can't tell you how to catch a groove 

It's your thang (It's your thing) 

Do what you wanna do 

I won't tell you who to sock it to 

Oooo, I like hip-hop mixin' with go-go, baby 

It's my thing, and I shake it crazy 

Don't try and tell me how to party 

It's my dance, yup, and it's my body 

The shirt I wear may be low cut 

My jeans fit nice, it shows off my butt 

Designer down from head to toe 

Oooo, my hair, neck, and fingers is crazy-glow 

Now please stop blushin', we're just dancing, dummy 

C'mon, we both know I don't want you for your money 

Cuz we like to rap so we always rhyme 

I like to dance, oooo, and I like to grind 

I like this song, I like this beat 

I'll see you later, where shall we 

Shake your thang, owww 

Do what you wanna do 

I can't tell you how to catch a groove 

It's your thang (It's your thing) 

Do what you wanna do 

I won't tell you who to sock it to
