Black Kids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus]
Listen to your body tonight its gonna treat you right
Listen to your body tonight its gonna treat you right

When I first met you
You was living in your day-room
You was wrenching chachos

You was livin' on voodoo

Yes you was try'na hex me
All tellin' me I'm sexy

Yes always try'na text me
Or dance next to me

Singin' listen to your body tonight its gonna treat you

Right

Listen to your body tonight its gonna treat you right

Don't be scared to fall in love cause you don't like heights

Listen to your body tonight its gonna treat you right

So laying in my bedroom
All talking bout some boom boom

But you really shouldn't assume
Cause my mans coming home soon

You try'na have a rival
Best stickin' to your survival

Ain't try'na be libel

I swear it on the bible
I swear it on the bible

[Chorus]

Don't be scared to fall in love cause you don't like

Heights

Listen to your body tonight its gonna treat you right

Alright hello?
Hello this is your body

(Well do you want my body)

I want to feel somebody on me

Alright hello?
Hello this is your body

(Well do you want my body)

I want to feel somebody on me

Alright hello?
Hello this is your body

(well do you want my body)

I want to feel somebody on me

Alright hello?
Hello this your body

(Well do you want my body)

I want to feel somebody on me

[Chorus]

Don't be scared to fall in love cause you don't like heights

Listen to your body tonight its gonna treat you right
