Lyrics

Friday night and the scene is bright at Avalon
I walked straight to the bar in her party dress, yes
I told the bartender pour her a shot and make it strong
Because she needed cheerin' up
She proceeded to get drunk
You could see it tearin' up in her eyes
But when she gets home
She puts her headphones on
She plays her favorite song
And fades away
And when the music's on
She can do no wrong
And she feels safe and calm
And it's OK
And she says
("Ba, ba-dum, ba-dee-ah, dum-ba)
(Ba-dum, ba-dee-ah, dum-ba)
(The world keeps turning, life goes on)
Yeah, she says
("Ba, ba-dum, ba-dee-ah, dum-ba)
(Ba-dum, ba-dee-ah, dum-ba)
(The world keeps turning, life goes on")
Night before, had a date with a boy from Highland Park
Said he'd meet her at the diner at 9 o'clock
(Oh oh)
Leather boots, eyeliner laid on extra dark
She got a table set for two
But he never made it through
And she tried to play it cool as she cried
But when she gets home
She puts her headphones on
She plays her favorite song
And fades away
And when the music's on
She can do no wrong
And she feels safe and calm
And it's OK
And she says
("Ba, ba-dum, ba-dee-ah, dum-ba)
(Ba-dum, ba-dee-ah, dum-ba)
(The world keeps turning, life goes on")
Yeah, she says
("Ba, ba-dum, ba-dee-ah, dum-ba)
(Ba-dum, ba-dee-ah, dum-ba)
(The world keeps turning, life goes on")
You got to shake it off
Shake it
You got to shake it off
Shake it
You got to shake it off
Shake it
You got to shake it off
You got to shake it off
Shake it
You got to shake it off
Shake it
You got to shake it off
Shake it
You got to shake it off
You got to shake it off
Shake it
(Ba, ba-dum, ba-dee-ah, dum-ba)
You got to shake it off
Shake it
(Ba-dum, ba-dee-ah, dum-ba)
You got to shake it off
Shake it
(The world keeps turning, life goes on)
You got to shake it off
You got to shake it off
Shake it
(Ba, ba-dum, ba-dee-ah, dum-ba)
You got to shake it off
Shake it
(Ba-dum, ba-dee-ah, dum-ba)
You got to shake it off
Shake it
(The world keeps turning, life goes on)
You got to shake it off
You got to shake it off
Shake it
(Ba, ba-dum, ba-dee-ah, dum-ba)
You got to shake it off
Shake it
(Ba-dum, ba-dee-ah, dum-ba)
You got to shake it off
Shake it
(The world keeps turning, life goes on)
You got to shake it off
