Mini-critique N°349

Paroles :

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

(Ooh, ooh) everybody just

Everybody just bounce, bounce

Check it out

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

(Ooh, ooh) everybody just

Everybody just bounce, bounce

'Cause the lovin' ain't the same, and you keep on playing games

Like you know I'm here to stay

(I gotta shake, shake you off)

Just like the Calgon commercial, I really gotta get up outta here

And go somewhere (I gotta shake you off)

Gotta make that move (yeah)

Find somebody who appreciates all the love I give

Boy, I gotta (I gotta shake, shake you off)

Gotta do what's best for me

Baby, and that means I gotta (shake you off)

By the time you get this message, it's gonna be too late

So don't bother paging me 'cause I'll be on my way

See, I grabbed all my diamonds and clothes

Just ask your momma she knows

You're gonna miss me, baby

Hate to say I told you so (yeah)

Well, at first I didn't know, but now it's clear to me

You would cheat with all your freaks and lie compulsively

So I packed up my Louis Vuitton

Jumped in your ride and took off

You'll never ever find a girl who loves you more than me

'Cause the lovin' ain't the same, and you keep on playing games

Like you know I'm here to stay

(I gotta shake, shake you off)

Just like the Calgon commercial, I really gotta get up outta here

And go somewhere (I gotta shake you off)

Gotta make that move (ah-huh)

Find somebody who appreciates all the love I give

Boy, I gotta (I gotta shake, shake you off)

Gotta do what's best for me

Baby, and that means I gotta (shake you off)

I gotta shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off

Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off (I'm gonna shake it off)

Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off

Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off

I found out about a gang of your dirty little deeds

With this one and that one by the pool, on the beach, in the streets

Heard y'all was

Hold up, my phone's breakin' up

I'ma hang up and call the machine right back

I gotta get this off of my mind

You wasn't worth my time

So, I'm leaving you behind

Yeah, 'cause I need a real love in my life

Save this recording because I'm never coming back home

Baby, I'm gone (gone), don't ya know?

'Cause the lovin' ain't the same, and you keep on playing games

Like you know I'm here to stay

(I gotta shake, shake you off)

Just like the Calgon commercial, I really gotta get up outta here

And go somewhere (I gotta shake you off)

Gotta make that move (make that move)

Find somebody who appreciates all the love I give

Boy, I gotta (I gotta shake, shake you off)

Gotta do what's best for me

Baby, and that means I gotta (shake you off)

I gotta shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off

Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off (I'm gonna shake it off)

Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off

Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off (I just gotta shake it off)

'Cause the loving ain't the same and you keep on playing games

Like you know I'm here to stay

(I gotta shake, shake you off)

Just like the Calgon commercial, I really gotta get up outta here

And go somewhere (I gotta shake you off)

Gotta make that move (say what?)

Find somebody who appreciates all the love I give (I like that part)

I gotta shake, shake it off

Gotta do what's best for me

Baby, and that means I gotta shake you off (shake you off)

I gotta shake you off (ooh, ooh, ooh)

I gotta shake, shake you off (ooh, ooh, ooh)

(Everybody just, everybody just bounce, bounce)

I gotta shake you off

Critique :

"Shake It Off" est une chanson interprétée par Mariah Carey, extraite de son dixième album studio, *The Emancipation of Mimi* (2005). Elle a été initialement proposée aux radios le 12 juillet 2005 comme troisième single aux États-Unis, tandis que "Get Your Number" occupait ce rôle ailleurs.

La chanson a été bien accueillie par la critique musicale, qui a notamment salué ses paroles à la fois simples et inspirantes, et l'a considérée comme un titre phare de l'album.
