Shocked Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tell me I'm only dreaming and I'll believe you
Can't see how this could be true
Surrounded by feelings I hardly recognise
I look for explanations, I'm taken by surprise
If you told me yesterday that I could feel this way
I would sure enough call you a liar to your face

[Chorus]
Because I'm shocked by the power (shocked)
Shocked by the power of love
I was rocked to my very foundations
Shocked by the power, shocked by the power
Shocked by the power (shocked)
Shocked by the power of love
I was rocked to my very foundations
Shocked by the power, shocked by the power

[Verse 2]
Maybe this time tomorrow
I'll discover this ain't really real
'Cos it struck me like lightning
Like a bolt out of the blue
Emotions inside me, all over you
I'm high above the Universe
Losing track of time and falling free
I can't believe that you are really mine

[Chorus]
Because I'm shocked by the power (shocked)
Shocked by the power of love
I was rocked to my very foundations
Shocked by the power, shocked by the power
Shocked by the power (shocked)
Shocked by the power of love
I was rocked to my very foundations
Shocked by the power, shocked by the power

[Instrumental breakdown]

[Bridge]
Surrounded by feelings I hardly recognise
I look for explanations, I'm taken by surprise
Because it struck me like lightning
Like a bolt out of the blue
Emotions inside me, all over you

[Chorus]
Because I'm shocked by the power (shocked)
Shocked by the power of love
I was rocked to my very foundations
Shocked by the power, shocked by the power
Shocked by the power (shocked)
Shocked by the power of love
I was rocked to my very foundations
Shocked by the power, shocked by the power

Genius Answer

On a list of 30 of Kylie Minogue’s best singles, published on September 25, 2020, The Guardian ranked it as Kylie Minogue 5th best single, saying:

Most Stock Aitken and Waterman artists who attempted to assert their individuality came to grief, but when Kylie did it, they appeared to rise to the challenge, abandoning their identikit sound, writing better, classier songs and, in the case of Shocked, commissioning a remix by DNA which is very 1990 – breakbeat, house piano, rap – and a delight.
