On a YouTube video of the album’s track-by-track, Payne explained:
"This is one of the first songs I made for this album, which started off rather raunchy. It’s the very same song type as the Shakira song, but very different."
Hips Don't Lie
Liam Payne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, my eyes sit low
But I see you rocking back and forth
Rocking back and forth, yeah (Ooh)
I love how you're seducing me
But wasting time is what I can't afford
It better be for sure (Ooh)
Unless you got what I need
I hope your hips don't lie
Unless they're lying with me
The way you move it side to side (You move it side to side)
You don't even need to speak (You don't even need to speak)
I hope your hips don't lie (Hope your hips don't lie)
Unless they're lying with me
Right in my bed-ed-ed
In my bed-ed-ed
Right in my bed-ed-ed
You can lie with me
Right in my bed-ed-ed
In my bed-ed-ed
Right in my bed-ed-ed
You can lie with me
I'm so anxious
Now that we're acquainted
Let me take care of the bill
You're too hot to chill, oh
Ain't no faking, the animal I'm caging
Wants to come outside and kill
Oh, yeah
Don't be giving me the eye
Unless you got what I need
I hope your hips don't lie
Unless they're lying with me
The way you move it side to side (You move it side to side)
You don't even need to speak (You don't even need to speak)
I hope your hips don't lie (Hope your hips don't lie)
Unless they're lying with me (Woo)
Right in my bed-ed-ed
In my bed-ed-ed
Right in my bed-ed-ed
You can lie with me
Right in my bed-ed-ed
In my bed-ed-ed
Right in my bed-ed-ed (My bed, my bed)
You can lie with me
I know your hips don't lie (Don't lie)
Don't lie (Don't lie)
You don't have to be alone tonight (Tonight)
Tonight (Tonight)
You can lie with me
I know your hips don't lie (Don't lie)
Don't lie (Don't lie)
You don't have to be alone tonight (Tonight)
Tonight (Tonight)
You can lie with me (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
I know you're giving me the eye
'Cause I got what you need
I know your hips don't lie
Is it because they're lying with me? (Oh-oh)
Right in my bed-ed-ed
In my bed-ed-ed
Right in my bed-ed-ed
You can lie with me
Right in my bed-ed-ed (My bed, my bed)
In my bed-ed-ed
Right in my bed-ed-ed
