Lately everybody's so self-conscious
People talk about each other, so heartless
But I don't want to hear those conversations
I just want to feel the good vibrations
Whatever happened to the simple pleasures?
It's hard to live when there's so much pressure
But I don't want to think about the ending
'Cause every moment is a new beginning

You know life's too short to be complicated
Ohhhh ohhhh sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes you gotta shake
Shake what your momma gave you
Pull out your Michael J moves
and dance with the record on
Sometimes you gotta get down
Down at the supermarket
Even if there's people watching
Just because you like the song
Sometimes you gotta just shake
Sometimes you gotta just shake

Do we really even know what matters
when we're stuck inside the same old patterns?
You know it's easy to forget that feeling
when the kid in your heart stops dreaming
Doesn't matter if you're 6 or 60
It doesn't matter if you're rich or 50
If the moment feels right, just do it
Who cares if you're looking foolish

You know life's too short to be complicated
Ohhhh ohhhh sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes you gotta shake
Shake what your momma gave you
Pull out your Michael J moves
and dance with the record on
Sometimes you gotta get down
Down at the supermarket
Even if there's people watching
Just because you like the song
Sometimes you gotta just shake
Sometimes you gotta just shake

Tell me, is it wrong if it makes you feel right?
You'll never know if you don't even try
Let it go, you might find that you like to shake

Shake what your momma gave you
Pull out your Michael J moves
and dance with the record on
Sometimes you gotta get down
Down at the supermarket
Even if there's people watching
Just because you like the song
Sometimes you gotta just shake
Sometimes you gotta just shake

Shake what your momma gave you
Pull out your Michael J moves
and dance with the record on
Sometimes you gotta get down
Down at the supermarket
Even if there's people watching
Just because you like the song
Sometimes you gotta just shake
Sometimes you gotta just shake

Shake a little, shake a little now
Sometimes you gotta just shake
