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
The lyrics of Black Kids feat. Lil Wayne's "Not Gonna Teach Him" are about a girl who doesn't want to teach her partner how to dance because she feels that he will eventually leave her for someone else if he learns the dance moves perfectly. She admits that she has been dreaming about this girl since she was a little girl, implying that her past experiences with relationships have made her wary of teaching her partner how to dance. The chorus repeats the message of not teaching him how to dance, and she proceeds to list why she won't teach him.
The girl is biting her tongue because she wants to tell her partner that he is copying her dance moves but doesn't want to risk him leaving her. The lines "He's got two left feet and he bites my moves" emphasizes her frustration with him but also shows her possessiveness over the dance moves.
The repetition of "one, two, three, four" emphasizes the beat of the song and adds to the overall catchy nature of the tune. Lil Wayne's addition to the song helps to further emphasize the girl's hesitancy to teach her partner how to dance and adds a layer of tension to the lyrics.
Overall, the song's lyrics explore the fear of being replaced and the vulnerability that comes with loving someone deeply. It's a relatable feeling that many people experience in their relationships.
