Shut Down - 2013 Remaster
Step alive my friend take cover
Be sure, beware of this other lover
She's cool, she's you
She's oh so shrewd and she's on to you
Steady yet, think clearly, be ready
Sometimes your heart can beat unsteady
She's on time, she's on the line
She's push and shove, got her gold mine
Shut down, shut down
You should shut down on her, hey-ey-ey-ey
Shut down, shut down
Close on up, don't walk her way-ay-ay-ay
Colour conscious from top to toe
Are VIP's spending money on this, no
A slim waist, it's good taste
She'll go in slow, but she'll up the pace
You're addicted to the swinging jet set
You'll make her someone, you're her best bet
Look sharp, play the part
Think with your mind and not your heart
Shut down, shut down
You should shut down on her, hey-ey-ey-ey
Shut down, shut down
Close on up, don't walk her way-ay-ay-ay, walk her way
Love is easy, love's so unkind
Some are sleazy, love's so blind
Her blue eyes, her bust size
She's done her homework and I'm not surprised
So step alive my friend take cover
Beware, be sure of this other lover
She's on time, she's on the line
She's push and shove, got her gold mine
Shut down, shut down
You should shut down on her, hey-ey-ey-ey
Shut down, shut down
Close on up, don't walk her way-ay-ay-ay
One hour (one hour), one day (one day)
Some how (some how), some way
Shut down, shut down
So close it up and save your alimony
Hey, your alimony, (I said), your alimony, (hey) your alimony
Save it, your alimony, mmm, your alimony, (hey), your alimony, alimony, your alimony
Alimony, alimony, alimony, alimony, alimony, alimony, alimony
Alimony, alimony, alimony, alimony, alimony, alimony, alimony
Be sure, beware of this other lover
She's cool, she's you
She's oh so shrewd and she's on to you
Steady yet, think clearly, be ready
Sometimes your heart can beat unsteady
She's on time, she's on the line
She's push and shove, got her gold mine
Shut down, shut down
You should shut down on her, hey-ey-ey-ey
Shut down, shut down
Close on up, don't walk her way-ay-ay-ay
Colour conscious from top to toe
Are VIP's spending money on this, no
A slim waist, it's good taste
She'll go in slow, but she'll up the pace
You're addicted to the swinging jet set
You'll make her someone, you're her best bet
Look sharp, play the part
Think with your mind and not your heart
Shut down, shut down
You should shut down on her, hey-ey-ey-ey
Shut down, shut down
Close on up, don't walk her way-ay-ay-ay, walk her way
Love is easy, love's so unkind
Some are sleazy, love's so blind
Her blue eyes, her bust size
She's done her homework and I'm not surprised
So step alive my friend take cover
Beware, be sure of this other lover
She's on time, she's on the line
She's push and shove, got her gold mine
Shut down, shut down
You should shut down on her, hey-ey-ey-ey
Shut down, shut down
Close on up, don't walk her way-ay-ay-ay
One hour (one hour), one day (one day)
Some how (some how), some way
Shut down, shut down
So close it up and save your alimony
Hey, your alimony, (I said), your alimony, (hey) your alimony
Save it, your alimony, mmm, your alimony, (hey), your alimony, alimony, your alimony
Alimony, alimony, alimony, alimony, alimony, alimony, alimony
Alimony, alimony, alimony, alimony, alimony, alimony, alimony
