Walk This Way
Nelly Lyrics

Now there's a backseat lover
That's always undercover
And we talk 'til my daddy say
Said you ain't seen nothing
'til you're down on a muffin
And there's sure to be a change in ways
Now there's a cheerleader
 that's a real big breeder
As far as I can reminisce
But the best thing of loving

Was her sister and her cousin
And it started with a little kiss, like this!

See-saw swinging, with the boys in school
And her feet are just fly up in the air
Singing, "Hey diddle diddle with a
Kitty in the middle"
And they swinging like it just didn't care
So I took a big chance
At the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
It wasn't me
She was foolin' 'cause she knew
What was she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way!
She told me to

Walk this way, talk this way
Walk this way, talk this way (She told me to)
Walk this way, talk this way
Walk this way, talk this way
Well just gimme a kiss ooh, like this!
