In the shadow of your father
Sweet brown eyes of the one I love
I can't wait another minute baby

To do the things that we never done
Everybody gets hungry sometimes
Your love is like a kettle on

In the shadow of your father
Guess I get a little sad sometimes


Shake a little for me baby
Take me to the water when my well runs dry
Shake a little for me baby

Just a little now
Just a little now


Everybody gets lonely sometimes
Guess a stranger is a friend in need
In the shadow of this New York skyline

All these stories looking down on me
Everybody feels the water rising
Could go under or enjoy the ride

Ah when you're dancing for me now baby
I don't feel so small against the tide


Shake a little for me baby
Take me to the water when my well runs dry
Shake a little for me baby

Shake a little for me baby
Take me to the water when my cup runs dry
Shake a little for me baby

Just a little now
Just a little now
Just a little now
