Shake Some Action Lyrics - Counting Crows

(original by Flamin' Groovies) 

Shake Some Action 

I will find a way 

to get to you some day. 

Oh, but I, babe, 

I'm so afraid I'll fall, 

yeah. Now can't you hear me call? 

Shake some action's what I need 

To let me bust out at full speed. 

I'm sure that's all you need 

to make it all right. 

It's taken me so long 

to get where I belong 

Oh, but, oh, please don't send me back that way, yeah. 

For I will make you pay. (refrain) 

if you don't dig what I say 

Then I will go away. 

and I won't come back this again. 

No. 'Cause I don't need a friend. 

(refrain) 

(guitar solo again)
