I stay out too late
Got nothing on my brain
That's what people say
Yeah, that's what they all say
 
I go on too many dates
But I can't make 'em stay
That's what people say
That's what they all say
 
But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop grooving
It's like I got this music in my mind
Saying, "It's gonna be alright."
 
Because the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake!
I shake it off, shake it off!

Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake!
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Yeah, shake it off, shake it off!
 
I never miss a beat
Yeah, I'm lightning on my feet
Yeah, that's what they don't see
Oh, that's what they don't see
 
I'm dancing on my own
Making up the rules as I go
And that's what they don't know
Oh, that's what they don't know
 
But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music in my mind
Saying, "It's gonna be alright."
 
Because the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Yeah, shake it off, shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake!
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, shake it off
 
Hey, hey, hey!
While you've been getting down and out about the dirty, dirty liars and the cheats in the world,
You could've been getting down with this sick beat! Oh, oh, oh!
 
My ex-man brought his new girlfriend
She's like "Oh, my god!" but I'm just gonna shake.
And to the fellow over there with the hella good hair
Won't you come on over, baby? We can shake, shake, shake
 
Ohhh!
 
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate!
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Yeah, shake it off, shake it off!

Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the players gonna play, they're gonna play!
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Yeah, shake it off, shake it off
 
Oh, shake it off!
Yeah, we're gonna shake it off!
Oh, shake it off, shake it off,
Oh, shake it off, shake it off!
