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
