Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
If I come over
Can I stay for the night
For the night
I know it's late
If I come over
Can I stay for the night
For the night
If I come over
Can I stay for the night
For the night
I know it's late
If I come over
Can I stay for the night
For the night
yea yea for the night
Yea for the night
Yea for the night
Yea for the night
Can I come over
Yea for the night
Drive you drive you
Yea for the night
Go baby
Yea for the night
Go crazy
Ugh
Real discreet with it
On how I'm trying to sneak in it
You know the liquor got me on a different level
How I'm trying to put you on my 2 AM schedule
When I know I got shit to do
The next day but I'm focused on coming through
Ugh I had a piece but you know I can't wait
How you got a nigga tryna eat the damn cake
I don't do that shit
Got a nigga feeling ludacris
This ATL Shawty stupid thick
But that ain't the only chick
This boricua mamacita got me wantin' to give her kids
This Albanian though
That I met in Frisco
I'm keeping her close
Ugh
This Ethiopian
Got me wanting to go home to the motherland
Baby girl wassup
If I hit your line late night I'm tryna bust
And if I pull up baby girl watch me go nuts
Like what you want
Hoping its me until
Six in the morn'
We up late night
We keep it on the DL
You ain't gotta tell your boyfriend or your homegirls
I know just what you like
We don't need no hotel
We can make a mess by the sink
Then a mess in your sheets
What you think
I know it's late
If I come over can I stay for the night
Can I stay for the night
For the night
Oh oh
I know it's late
(I know)
If I come over
Can I stay for the night
(Yea for the night)
For the night
Yea for the night baby
I know it's late
(I know it's late)
If I come over
Can I stay for the night
Yes for the night
(Aye-Aye)
I know it's late
(I know uh uh-oh)
If I come over
(I know)
Can I stay for the night
For the night
Yea yea for the night
Yea for the night
For the night
Yea yea For the night
Yea yea for the night
The lyrics of Maliq's song "I Can't Dance" delve into themes of late-night encounters, desire, temptation, and the thrill of secrecy. The repeated lines of "I know it's late, can I come over and stay for the night" suggest a sense of urgency and longing for intimacy. The singer is asking for permission to spend the night with someone, indicating a desire for physical closeness and connection beyond just a casual encounter.
The lyrics further explore the singer's mindset as they navigate the late-night rendezvous. The reference to being "real discreet" reveals a sense of clandestine excitement and the thrill of sneaking around. The mention of alcohol heightening emotions and inhibitions adds a layer of recklessness to the encounter, with the singer admitting they should be focused on other responsibilities but are consumed by the desire to be with this person.
The song also touches on the singer's attraction to different women from various backgrounds, suggesting a diversity of desires and experiences. Whether it's the "stupid thick" ATL Shawty, the boricua mamacita, the Albanian from Frisco, or the Ethiopian woman who evokes thoughts of the motherland, each encounter represents a unique allure and temptation for the singer.
The overall atmosphere of the song is one of late-night indulgence and escapism, where the singer and their partner can exist in a bubble of pleasure and freedom away from the constraints of the outside world. The lyrics capture a sense of spontaneity and desire for connection, as well as the thrill of engaging in forbidden or secretive behavior. Ultimately, "I Can't Dance" paints a vivid picture of late-night encounters filled with desire, temptation, and the exhilaration of living in the moment.
