Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I took my baby to see a show
She was tellin' me she didn't wanna go
Said come on, girl, what's the matter with you?
But I could tell by the smell that you've had a few
[Verse 2]
Hold on baby, don't you get too tight
You started early and we've got all night
You've gotta take it easy, take it slow
We don't want the whole world to know
[Verse 3]
About the shape you're in
Baby, the shape you're in
About the shape you're in
Hey girl, the shape you're in
[Verse 4]
My baby girl really loves that wine
Wine'll do it to her most every time
If it's red or it's white or it's in between
She can drink more wine than I've ever seen
[Verse 5]
Sayin' hold on, girl, don't get too tight
You started early and we've got all night
You've gotta take it easy, take it slow
We don't want the whole world to know
[Verse 6]
About the shape you're in
Hey girl, the shape you're in
About the shape you're in
Come on girl, the shape you're in
[Verse 7]
I'm not tryna get heavy with you
Mind my own business if you want me to
But I love you girl, I don't love no one else
I'm just tellin' you, baby, 'cause I been there myself
[Verse 8]
I said hold on girl, don't get too tight
You started early and we've got all night
You gotta take it easy, take it slow
We don't want the whole world to know
[Verse 9]
About the shape you're in
Hey babe, the shape you're in
About the shape you're in
Come on girl, the shape you're in
[Verse 10]
About the shape you're in
Hey babe, the shape you're in
About the shape you're in
Come on girl, the shape you're in
