Che'Nelle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Could you, could you, could you teach me?
Could you, could you, could you teach me?

Straight up
Do you have rhythm underneath your feet?
Does the beat flow through that fine body?
Do you enjoy sweatin? all on me?
Did you just bust that move freestylin'
Do you do much choreographin'
You're wildin' out, boy, great timin'
I like a man who can dance

Show me how you shake it, twist it like you're breakin'
Pop it like your bones are dislocatin'
Grind me like you're horny, turn me 'round slowly
Drop me to the floor, pull me up again, honey

Show me how you shake it, twist it like you're breakin'
Pop it like your bones are dislocatin'
Grind me like you're horny, turn me 'round slowly
Drop me to the floor, pull me up again, honey

You rockin' it, swingin' it, bangin' it
Teach me how to
Step and flow, how to roll, boy, if you
Teach me how to dance

Could you, could you, could you teach me?
Teach me how to
Could you, could you, could you teach me?
Teach me how to dance

Excuse me while I check out your style
You move so good, all I could do is sigh
You're makin' me start to fantasize

Is it true if a guy can really move
They use it just as good in the bedroom?
Oops, didn't mean to come across so rude, ooh

Show me how you shake it, twist it like you're breakin'
Pop it like your bones are dislocatin'
Grind me like you're horny, turn me 'round slowly
Drop me to the floor, pull me up again, honey

Show me how you shake it, twist it like you're breakin'
Pop it like your bones are dislocatin'
Grind me like you're horny, turn me 'round slowly
Drop me to the floor, pull me up again, honey

You rockin' it, swingin' it, bangin' it
Teach me how to
Step and flow, how to roll, boy, if you
Teach me how to dance

Could you, could you, could you teach me?
Teach me how to
Could you, could you, could you teach me?
Teach me how to dance

Let me get your number please
I don't care if there's a fee
Book me now, I really need
You to teach me how to dance

We can keep it strictly business
One on one, I'll bring a witness
I just wanna work on my fitness
So teach me

You rockin' it, swingin' it, bangin' it
Teach me how to
Step and flow, how to roll, boy, if you
Teach me how to dance

Could you, could you, could you teach me?
Teach me how to
Could you, could you, could you teach me?
Teach me how to dance





Right, that was too much, man
That was too much
