G
C
She was a fast machine, she
kept her motor clean.
D G
She was the best damn woman
that I ever seen
She had the sightless eyes,
telling me no lies
Knockin' me out with those
American thighs
Taking more than her share,
had me fighting for air
She told me to come but I was
already there
CHORUS:
G
C
'Cause the walls start
shaking, the earth was quaking
D
My mind was aching and we were
making it
G
C G D C C/B
And you shook me all night
long
G
C G D C C/B
Yeah, you shook me all night
long
Working double time on the
seduction line
She was one of a kind, she's
just mine all mine
She wanted no applause, just
another course
Made a meal out of me and came
back for more
Had to cool me down to take
another round
Now I'm back in the ring to
take another swing
CHORUS:
D Csus2 G/B G

You knock me out; I said, you shook me all night
long

shook me all night long

night long
