This is not

Acceptable behavior

Yeah, SHAKIN'

As much as it's unfamiliar

Very outlandish

Yeah, I keep it pretty

Keep it candid

No need to

Dress it up

Just as I am now

I'm a classic

Know you

Like my fashion

It's all eyes on me

Try to size me up

No need to mention

Already the Main attraction

We bring the juice

The tempo keeps speeding up

Sharp senses

Wake me up, feel good

After swallowing your heart

Shake it, ice breaks

I'ma have you

The moment you hesitate

We bring the juice

Shakin' in my view

'Cause I'm so

It's only natural to be afraid

You're so typical

I can break you down easily

Tell who is who

(Ice)

It's okay to let your guard down

It's cool

Know you

Feel the tension

Dare to doubt if it's a lie

No need to question

Yes, I'm 'bout that action

We bring the juice

I'm gonna

Make you tremble

I'll shake your whole world

All good

Break everything you have

Ice breaks

No matter how much you plot
