Midnight, my doorbell rings

You're standing in the cold with a few of your things, and you're crying

I know words for talking slow

You don't have to tell me, I don't wanna know



When times get tough, you always run right back to me

But I don't care, if it makes you feel better



'Cos you shake me up, break me up - when you're around, I can't get enough

Oh you shake me up, break me up - girl, you tear me apart

Yeah yeah yeah ya shake me up



The next day, the frontdoor slams

You're standing in the street with another man, and you're laughing

You move close, you shake his hand

You smile at me like I understand, oh



In your eyes there is a promise you'll be back

And that's all I need to make me feel better



'Cos you shake me up, break me up - when you're around, I can't get enough

Oh you shake me up, break me up - girl, you tear me apart

Shake me up, break me up - when you're around, I can't get enough

Oh you shake me up, break me up - girl, you tear me apart

Yeah yeah yeah ya shake me up



Why don't you make up your mind? You better stop wastin' my time



(Instrumental break)



At night, my doorbell rings

You're standing in the cold with all of your things, and you're smiling

You walk in and say hello

You don't have to tell me, 'cos I already know



No more tears, you won't be standing in the cold

You'll be back with me, and it'll be better, oh better



'Cos you shake me up, break me up, when you're around, I can't get enough

C'mon shake me up, break me up

Shake me up, break me up - when you're around, I can't get enough

Oh you shake me up, break me up - girl, you tear me apart



Shake me up, break me up (repeats out)
