i've been told better safe than sorry
and to look before i leap
to think about what i should say

long before i speak
i'm tired of holding back my true emotions
i can't help but cause a little commotion

(chorus)
i like shakin' things up
i like pushin' the boundaries

i like livin' my life on the edge
and chasin' far-fetched dreams
i'm gonna feel young when i grow old

i'm gonna chalenge the status quo
when bein' good just ain't good enough
i like shakin' things up

i've been known to aim too high
sometimes i miss my mark
but i'll never know how far i can go

until i go too far
i believe in moderation
but once in a while i need a celebration

(chorus)
i like shakin'
(chorus)

yeah, i like shakin' things up
i like shakin' things up
