Emeli Sandé – Shakes lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you don't want a daughter
Then I'll give you a son
I'll give you every penny
For every song that I've sung

[Chorus]
Cause baby when you're gentle
It's all that it takes
And oh, my heart breaks
Yeah oh, my soul shakes

[Verse 2]
You can be the captain
I surrender my boat
If you're tired of south, then baby
We're sailing north

[Chorus]
See baby when you're gentle
It's all that it takes
And oh, my heart breaks
Yeah oh, my soul shakes

[Verse 3]
I can tell the angels
They can take me instead
Cause babe if you go missin'
Then I'd rather be dead

[Chorus]
Cause baby when you're gentle
It's all that it takes
And oh, my heart breaks
Yeah oh, my soul shakes
Yeah oh, my heart breaks
Yeah oh, my soul shakes
Oh, my heart breaks
Yeah oh, my soul shakes
Oh, my heart breaks
Yeah oh, my soul shakes
