Katharine McPhee
Shake It Out (SMASH Cast Version)
[KAREN]
Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play

And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

[GUESTS]
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh, whoa
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh, whoa
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa

[KAREN]
I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

[GUESTS]
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh, whoa
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh, whoa
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa
[KAREN]
And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my rope
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat
Cause looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me

[GUESTS & (KAREN)]
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out (Ooh, whoa)
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out (Ooh, whoa)
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out (Ooh, whoa)
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out (Ooh, whoa)
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back

[KAREN]
So shake him off, oh whoa
