I stay out too late

Got nothing in my brain

That's what people say,

I go on too many dates

I can't make 'em stay

At least that's what people say,

Can't stop won't stop moving

It's like I got this music in my mind

Saying it's gonna be alright

Cause the players gonna play,

And the haters gonna hate,

Baby, I'm just gonna shake

Shake it off, I shake it off

Heart breakers gonna break,

And the fakers gonna fake,

Baby, I'm just gonna shake,

Shake it off
