Moved to California to find a new place
It was a tall tall order, to pave a new way
My skin sometimes was crawling, nearly every night
Til I saw a sign, that pointed left to right
Give me a little something, give me a little something
Word by word and paint by number
Take this girl lightning and thunder
Shake her world shake baby shake baby shake baby
Shake baby shake baby shake baby
I met with the devil to sign a new deal
He said I played out my hand that I needed something real
So I wandered to the ocean and looked at bodies there
I thought I'd try to be like them, skin exposed and bare
Give me a little something, give me a little something
Word by word and paint by number
Take this girl lightning and thunder
Take her world shake baby shake baby shake baby
Shake baby shake baby shake baby
Word by word and paint by number
Take this girl lightning and thunder
Shake her world shake baby shake baby shake baby
Shake baby shake baby shake baby
Sulked away alone again in my new western world
I wondered if my old mistakes were too grand to unfurl
And then I saw a stranger standing in the light
I asked for what he had, he handed me his time
Give me a little something, give me a little something
Word by word and paint by number
Take this girl lightning and thunder
Shake her world shake baby shake baby shake baby
Shake baby shake baby shake baby
Word by word and paint by number
Take this girl lightning and thunder
Shake her world shake baby shake baby shake baby
Shake baby shake baby shake baby
Shake baby shake baby shake baby
Shake baby shake baby shake
