Soul Shakedown Party Lyrics

[Chorus]
We gonna have a soul shakedown party tonight (Soul shakedown party tonight)
We gonna have a soul shakedown party tonight (Soul shakedown party tonight)

[Verse 1]
The way you love me, huh, it's alright
When you put your lovin' arms around me and you hold me tight
(Holdin' me tight)

[Bridge]
This is my invitation (My invitation)
I got the special vacation (Special vacation)
I need your concentration (Concentration)
Just to feel your vibration (Vibration)

[Chorus]
At that soul shakedown party tonight (Soul shakedown party tonight)
We gonna have a soul shakedown party tonight (Soul shakedown party tonight)

[Verse 2]
Jane is in the backyard
Doin' the outside dance
Come tellin' me the other day
She didn't even get a chance

[Bridge]
But this is my invitation (My invitation)
Just a special vacation (Special vacation)
I need your concentration (Concentration)
Just to, just to, just to, just, just to (Vibration)
[Chorus]
Baby, I need you tonight (Soul shakedown party tonight)
We gonna have a soul shakedown party tonight (Soul shakedown party tonight)
Hit it, brother, y'all

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
The way you love me, it's alright
(It's alright)
When you put your lovin' arms around me (Arms around me)
And you hold me tight (Hold me tight)

[Bridge]
This is my invitation (My invitation)
I got the special vacation (Special vacation)
I need your concentration (Need your concentration)
Just to feel your vibration (Feel your vibration)

[Chorus]
At that soul shakedown party tonight (Soul shakedown party tonight)
We gonna have a soul shakedown party tonight (Soul shakedown party tonight)
Swing with me, baby
(Soul shakedown party tonight)
It will be for two

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
