Shake Your Thang (It's Your Thing)

We was on the dance floor shakin' our thing

To a funky beat with a go-go swing

Everyone was watching, they stared in shock

Amazed at how Salt-N-Pepa was rockin' the place

With a smile on our face

Some got upset and then tried to base

They called us nasty, said we danced dirty

Claimed we were freaks, cheap even flirty

Pepa got pissed and pulled out a pump

I was all set not to jet but to jump

Spin broke it up and asked not to break

Said they don't understand the way you

Shake your thang, oww

Do what you wanna do

I can't tell you, how to catch a groove

It's your thang (It's your thang)

Do what you wanna do

I won't tell you, who to sock it to

Shake that thang, c'mon, y'all, shake it

We could get loose, but we can't get naked

It's not a crime, it's legal, we innocent

Look again, see? We're just dancin'

Relax a bit, now ain't that better

I think it's time, for you to get a partner

Doe-see, gather in closely

I wanna see the ones that mostly

Front on a cutie, hope you're not fruity

Do your duty and

Shake your thang, oww

Do what you wanna do

I can't tell you, how to catch a groove

It's your thang (It's your thang)

Do what you wanna do

I won't tell you, who to sock it to

Come on, ya'll, shake that thang

You got to just show no shame

I want you to shake that thang

Come on, ya'll, show no shame

Shake your thang, yeah, yeah

Oh, you're looking sweet, baby

Oww, I won't tell you, how to catch a groove

It's my thang, and I'll swing it, the way that I feel

With a little seduction and some sex appeal

It's Friday night, and I just got paid

I'm checking out the fella with the high-top fade

Moving in closely, ready for the kill

Steppin' on the dance floor, think you're ill

But if a guy touch my body, I just put him in check

I said, we just met, we can't do that yet

I'm not a pick-up (No)

This ain't a stick-up (Boy)

I'm not stuck-up (Yeah)

Now turn the kick up

And just rock, baby-pop, don't stop

Stick out your butt, and shake what you got

Shake your thang, oww

Do what you wanna do

I can't tell you, how to catch a groove

It's your thang (It's your thang)

Do what you wanna do

I won't tell you, who to sock it to

Ooh, I like hip-hop mixed with the go-go, baby

It's my thang, and I shake it crazy

Don't try and tell me how to party

It's my dance, yup, and it's my body

The shirt I wear may be low-cut

My jeans fit nice, it shows off my butt

Designer down from head-to-toe

On my hair, neck and fingers is crazy-glow

Now please, stop blushin', we're just dancing, dummy

C'mon, we both know, I don't want you for your money

'Cause we like to rap so we always rhyme

I like to dance, ooh, and I like to grind

I like this song, I like this beat

I'll see you later, where shall we

Shake your thang, oww

Do what you wanna do

I can't tell you, how to catch a groove

It's your thang (It's your thang)

Do what you wanna do

I won't tell you, who to sock it to
