Black Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ever since I was a little girl
You are the girl that I've been dreaming of
Ever since I was a little (ever) girl (since)
One, I'm biting my tongue
Two, he's kissin' on you
Three, oh, why can't you see?
The word's on the streets and it's on the news
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance with you
He's got two left feet and he bites my moves
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance, dance, dance, dance
The second I do, I know we're gonna be through
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance with you
He don't suspect a thing, I wish he'd get a clue
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance, dance, dance, dance
You are the girl that I've been dreaming of
Ever since I was a little girl
You are the girl that I've been dreaming of
Ever since I was a little girl (ever since)
One, I'm biting my tongue
Two, he's kissin' on you
Three, oh, why can't you see?
One, two, three, four
The word's on the streets and it's on the news
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance with you
He's got two left feet and he bites my moves
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance, dance, dance, dance
The second I do, I know we're gonna be through
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance with you
He don't suspect a thing, I wish he'd get a clue
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance, dance, dance, dance (uh-oh)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
One, you're biting my tongue
Two, I'm kissin' on you
Three, is he better than me?
One, two, three, four
The word's on the streets and it's on the news
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance with you
He's got two left feet and he bites my moves
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance, dance, dance, dance (oh)
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do-do
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance, dance, dance, dance
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do-do
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance, dance, dance, dance
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do-do
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance, dance, dance, dance
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do-do
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance, dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
In the first verse of Black Kids' "I Wanna Be Your Limousine,” the singer claims that the person they are singing to would not ride with a “rolling stone” - a reference to the famous rock band - but would rather ride with them. The singer then references the ill-fate of anyone attempting to harm their love interest by saying that they would end up with a broken nose and comatose with stitches. In the chorus, the singer repeats the title of the song and asks their love interest if they understand what they mean, effectively expressing their desire to be close to them and keep them safe. They use the metaphor of being a "limousine" to imply a sense of luxury, protection, and exclusivity.
The second verse of the song starts with a reference to other men calling the singer's love interest "poison." However, the singer argues that they would never let those men close to their love interest. They then express their disinterest in "all the fighting" and "suckers always biting” and emphasize that they are where it's at. In the final verse, the singer is rendered somewhat powerless in the presence of their love interest. They express that their love interest shakes them to their core, making them feel unsure of what to do. Despite this, they still assert their dominance by comparing their love interest to a child that could say "sike-naw" to an outlaw and spar with a southpaw, swinging wild.
Line by Line Meaning
If your mother had her druthers
If your mother had her way
Won't be riding with another rolling stone
You won't be with any other guys
If these bitches had three wishes,
If these girls had three wishes
You'd be busted up with stitches comatose
They would hurt you badly and leave you unconscious with injuries
With a broken nose
Specifically, you'd have a broken nose
I wanna be your limousine
I want to be with you and provide for you luxuriously
Are you diggin' what I mean?
Do you understand and agree with me?
Sick and sick, let's split the scene
Let's go together, it'll be amazing
These pretty boys all call you "poison"
Other attractive guys are attracted to you too
But we never let those boys in
But I won't let them come between us
Tit for tat
Responding to something with something similar
It's unexciting, all the fighting
Fighting and arguing is boring
All these suckers always biting
These fools are always biting, getting in the way
Where it's at
This is where the situation is
Oh, you shake me like a coup
You shake me up like a political uprising
I feel I don't know what to do
You make me feel lost and unsure
You're just a child
Sometimes you act like a child
You'd say "sike-naw" to an outlaw
You would jokingly say "psych, no!" to someone who is breaking the rules
It's like sparring with a southpaw
Dealing with you is like fighting a left-handed boxer
Swinging wild
You're unpredictable, with chaotic movements
Oh my God...
Oh my goodness...
Oh ee oh, oh oh
Repeating vocalization
Oh ee oh, oh oh
Repeating vocalization
Oh ee oh, oh oh
Repeating vocalization
Oh ee oh, oh oh'
Repeating vocalization

You are the girl that I've been dreaming

He's got two left feet and he bites my moves
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance! Dance! dance! dance
The second I do, I know we're gonna be through
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance with you
He don't suspect a thing. I wish he'd get a clue
