Don't Shake Me Up Lyrics - Tanita Tikaram

This is something to thank your fortune for 

Although I got nothing & you got something 

See I'm not fit to be an open door 

Or the mat you wipe your feet upon 

Please someone 

Don't shake me up 

Many's the time I've thought of you 

Lying in my bed in the afternoon 

No-one for company 

This is the month that puts tomorrow back 

Only you got something, I got sidetracked 

Just for once I'd like my lover mapped 

For me to write my name upon 

Please someone 

Don't shake me up 

Many's the time I've thought of you 

Lying in your bed with the ocean view 

Not me for company 

Don't shake me up 

There'll be a time when I'm far from you 

When I will see the trick of you 

And the trick of you and me 

Then the burden of my heart (say something) 

Will not sing a sorry song 

Yea, the burden of my heart 

Will not be the sorry, be the sorry one 

No, don't shake me up 

Many's the time I've thought of you 

Lying in your bed in the afternoon...
