released on CD singles Leave Virginia Alone, 1995 (USA) and on You're The Star, 1995 (Europe)(Rod Stewart/Andy Taylor)Well she came from the motor cityFrom a clean white neighbor hoodShe had a degree in social scienceShe came out here to HollywoodShe's a six foot sultry beautyWith an eye for polynisian artIn a short shirt and Doctor MartensShe could kick start a dead mans heartIt's not what she sayIt's all in her swayShes a Shock to the systemIt's not how she talkIt's all in her walkIt's a shock to the systemShes a rough cut sacred diamondIn a sea of mediocre styleShe just wants the pro shot bodyShe may be crazy but shes no wild childShe have the old folks out on SundaysPlays piano in a rock and blues bandShe don't drink, smoke, dope or do cocaineBut she parties hard all the sameIt's not what she sayIts all in her swayShes a shock to the systemIt's not how she talkIt's all in her walkShe's a shock to the systemOh yeaShock me babyShock me babyAs I was walking home one nightIn the streets that never sleepIn that sub terrainian part of townWhere love is never foundOn a billboard on the topless placeI noticed her pretty faceIt said appearing here twice nightlyWell she had a whole lot of moneyAnd went back home to MichiganShe had maximized her potentialBut didn't scandilaze the family nameIt's not what she sayIt's all in her swayIt's a shock to the systemIt's not how she talkIt's all in her walkShe's a shock to the systemIt's not what she sayIt's all in her swayIt's a shock to the systemIt's not how she talkIt's all in her walkIt's a shock to the system
