You Still Shake Me
Shaken Resilience: Embracing Change in Love's Wake
Lyrics
I ain't in love, I ain't your bud
I am not in love, and I am not your friend
I ain't your little turtle dove
I am not your affectionate or gentle partner
I ain't your chick, I ain't your squeeze
I am not your girl, and I am not your intimate companion
I ain't the girl I used to be
I am not the person I used to be
But baby, you still shake me
Despite the changes, you still have an impact on me
I ain't upset, I ain't a wreck
I am not distressed, and I am not a wreck
'Cause I forgive and I forget
I am capable of forgiveness and moving on
And I ain't bitter, I ain't sore
I am not resentful or hurt
And I ain't cryin' anymore
I have stopped crying over the situation
But baby, you still shake me
Despite the emotional distance, you still affect me
Yeah baby, you still shake me
Emphasizing the ongoing impact you have on me
Every time I see you out
Seeing you makes me feel intense emotions
It makes me want to scream
I am unable to understand why I was attracted to you
I can't seem to figure out
Expressing confusion about past choices
What did I ever see
Questioning the qualities that once drew her to the person
In a fool like you
Describing the person as foolish
The things I used to do, I don't
I have changed my behavior and actions
The things I would have, now I won't
I have refrained from actions I would have done in the past
Yeah, I'm okay and I'm alright
Asserting that she is fine and content
And I'm not living in denial
Clarifying that she is not in denial about her feelings
But baby, you still shake me
Despite the emotional distance, you still affect me
Yeah baby, you still shake me
Reiterating the ongoing impact you have on me
I ain't in love, I ain't your bud
Repeating the assertion that she is not in love or a friend
I ain't your little turtle dove
Repeating the disassociation from being a gentle partner
I ain't your chick, I ain't your squeeze
Repeating the disassociation from being an intimate companion
I ain't the girl I used to be
Reiterating the statement that she is not the person she used to be
But baby, you still shake me
Despite the changes, you still have an impact on me
Yeah baby, you don't know what you do to me, baby
Emphasizing the profound and possibly unknowing impact the person has
You shake me baby
Expressing the intense impact the person has on her
