“But I keep cruising, can't stop, won't stop moving.
It's like I got this music in my body and it's gonna be alright.'Cause 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,
I shake it off, I shake it off.
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake.
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake,
I shake it off, I shake it off.”

I won't be doing that. And I promise I will never be in a bicycle race. That I can tell you.”
