Agnetha sings her fifth song from The Heat Is On Special in April 1983. This show was part of a European tour that Agnetha made to publicise her first post Abba solo album, The Heat Is On. The album reached the higher regions of the charts across Europe, including No.1 in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Belgium and Denmark.
Can't Shake Loose was released as the lead single from the album in North America. This song has a heavier beat, and was more suited to American music style. Agnetha visited New York on August 22nd and stayed for 7 days for promotional advertising on radio. The song reached number 29 in USA and number 23 in Canada. On September 30th Agnetha traveled to London to promote this song. She fell down some steps and cut her elbow while making an appearance on Noel Edmonds Late, Late Breakfast Show. She was in pain but still went on to sing.
Perhaps the most intriguing feature of this performance here is that unusually we get to see Agnetha dash off stage at the end of this song to her dressing table and assistant, where she can change outfits for the next song.
Lyrics, Music: Russ Ballard
I don't wanna stay here but I can't leave,
I'm in the spell of the magic you weave,
Somebody wake me up, I wish I could break it up
But I can't shake loose, can't shake loose
I can't shake loose, can't shake loose
Any move that I make in the end I will lose
I can't shake loose,
I try and I try but it ain't no use,
I could go like I did before,
But these old shoes keep walking to your door
I wanna hide but when I hear you call,
I turn around, I know I would fall
One step people shake, no matter what move I make
Cos' I can't shake loose, can't shake loose
I can't shake loose, can't shake loose
Any move I'll make in the end I will lose
I can't shake loose,
I try and try but it ain't no use,
I could go like I did before,
But these old shoes keep walking to your door
I don't wanna stay here, but you know I can't leave
Please let me go dear, please let me leave
I can't shake loose, I can't shake loose
I can't shake loose, can't shake loose
Any move I'll make in the end I will lose
I can't shake loose,
I try and I try but it ain't no use,
I could go like I did before,
But these old shoes keep walking to your door
I can't shake loose, oh...I can't shake loose
I try and try, but it ain't no use
I could go like I did before,
But these old shoes keep walking to your door
I can't shake loose,
No, I can't shake loose, I can't shake loose,
I can't shake loose, I can't shake loose,
No, I can't shake loose, I can't shake loose,
I can't shake loose....
