Oh yeah
Baby

Oh, how I wish I was by your side
Oh yeah

[Verse 1]
[Mary J Blige]
I wanna be all you need baby
[Terrence Howard]
And I want you to be my superwoman
[Mary J Blige]
Boy, I will be your friend forever
[Terrence Howard]
Well, gone and leave me that heart and you can get mine
[Mary J Blige]
I'm gonna be your baby tonight
If you're in the dark I'll be your some light
[Terrence Howard]
Cause all you need is my love
Telling you what's up
So just make room for love

[Chorus]
(It's a shake down, shake down)
[Mary J Blige]
I'm robbing you for your love
[Terrence Howard]
She's robbing me for my love
(It's a shake down, shake down)
[Terrence Howard]
Shakedown
[Mary J Blige]
Boy, you ain't gotta say nothing
[Terrence Howard]
Well, baby put your hands up
(Shake down, shake down, down)
[Mary J Blige]
Shake down
(Shake down, shake down, down)
(Shake down, shake down, down)
Shake down, shake down
[Both]

[Verse 2]
[Terrence Howard]
Girl, I wanna share my existance
[Mary J Blige]
And through time my love will stay persistent, boy
[Terrence Howard]
All of me is what you getting
Let the world be the witness
[Mary J Blige]
Bad times, we'll work it out like fitness or we live it
[Terrence Howard]
Cause I vow to give you my all
[Mary J Blige]
Boy, I will hold you up, hold you up if you fall
[Terrence Howard]
I see us in your chamber
[Mary J Blige]
Your heart's in danger
[Terrence Howard]
I'm taking your love
[Mary J Blige]
Won't you just give it up?

Shake down
(Shake down, shake down, down)
(Shake down, shake down, down)
(Shake down, shake down)
[Both]
I'm robbing you for your love

[Bridge]
[Mary J Blige]
If love is the crime, I'm down for it
[Terrence Howard]
If love is the crime
[Mary J Blige]
Let love be the judge
I receive the verdict
Now, take me baby
[Terrence Howard]
Take me
[Mary J Blige]
In your arms
[Terrence Howard]
In your arms
[Mary J Blige]
Hold me tight
Don't put up a fight
It's a shake down
Shake down
Come on baby, get down
[Terrence Howard]
Get down
[Mary J Blige]
I'm willing to do some time, baby
[Terrence Howard]
Do your time
[Mary J Blige]
To make sure that your love is mines
All mines
