Hips Don't Lie
Wyclef Jean Lyrics

Ladies up in here tonight
Women are in attendance tonight.

No fighting
Please refrain from fighting.

We got the refugees up in here (no fighting)
Refugees are present at the event, but they don't want any trouble.

Shakira, Shakira
The singer Shakira is present.

I never really knew that she could dance like this (hey)
I didn't realize that Shakira was such a good dancer.

She make a man wants to speak Spanish
Shakira's dancing is so captivating that it makes a person want to speak Spanish.

¿Cómo se llama? (Sí), bonita (sí)
What's your name? (Yes), pretty (yes).

Mi casa, su casa (Shakira, Shakira)
My house is your house.

Oh, baby, when you talk like that
Your speech is seductive.

You make a woman go mad
Your words make me crazy.

So be wise (sí) and keep on (sí)
Be smart and keep going.

Reading the signs of my body (uno, dos, tres, cuatro)
You need to read my body language.

I'm on tonight
I'm excited tonight.

You know my hips don't lie (no fighting)
My dancing doesn't deceive.

And I'm starting to feel it's right
I am beginning to feel good about this.

All the attraction, the tension
The atmosphere is charged.

Don't you see, baby, this is perfection?
Can't you tell, this is perfect?

Hey, girl, I can see your body moving
I notice you are dancing.

And it's driving me crazy
It's making me wild for you.

And I didn't have the slightest idea
I was not aware.

Until I saw you dancing (yeah)
Until I witnessed your dancing.

And when you walk up on the dance floor
When you approach the dance area.

Nobody cannot ignore the way you move your body, girl (just move)
Everyone is captivated by your dancing, keep moving.

And everything so unexpected, the way you right and left it
Your moves are unpredictable and unique.

So you can keep on shaking it (let's go)
Don't stop your dance.

Oh, boy, I can see your body moving
I notice your dancing as well.

Half animal, half man
You dance with a raw, instinctive energy.

I don't, don't really know what I'm doing
I'm not entirely sure of my actions.

But you seem to have a plan
You are confident in your dancing.

My will and self-restraint
My self-discipline.

Have come to fail now, fail now
I am losing control.

See, I am doing what I can, but I can't so you know
I'm trying to resist, but I can't.

That's a bit too hard to explain (uno, dos, tres, cuatro)
It's difficult to express in words.

Baila en la calle de noche (yeah)
Dance in the streets at night (yeah).

Baila en la calle de día (let's go)
Dance in the streets during the day (let's go).

Señorita, feel the conga
Lady, listen to the conga music.

Let me see you move like you come from Colombia
Show me how you dance, like you're from Colombia.

Yeah (ladies sí) (yeah yeah)
Yeah (ladies yes) (yeah yeah).

¡Mira en Barranquilla se baila así, say it! (yeah)
Look, this is how we dance in Barranquilla, say it! (yeah).

En Barranquilla se baila así (yeah)
This is how we dance in Barranquilla (yeah).

Yeah, she's so sexy, every man's fantasy
You are so attractive, the ideal of every man.

A refugee like me back with the Fugees from a third world country
I am a refugee who was once with the Fugees, from a poor country.

I go back like when 'Pac carried crates for Humpty Humpty
I go way back, like the time Tupac carried crates for Humpty Humpty.

We leave the whole club dizzy
We make the entire club feel dizzy.

Why the CIA wanna watch us?
Why is the CIA monitoring us?

Colombians and Haitians
People from Colombia and Haiti.

I ain't guilty, it's a musical transaction
I am not committing a crime, this is just a musical collaboration.

Bo bop so bop, no more do we snatch ropes
We are changing things up, no more violence (snatching ropes).

Refugees run the seas 'cause we own our own boats (no fighting)
Refugees are powerful now, because we have our own boats (and don't want any trouble).

I'm on tonight, my hips don't lie
I am feeling good and dancing enthusiastically.

And I am starting to feel you, boy
I'm getting into the groove with you (or someone).

Baby, like this is perfecto (no fighting)
This is perfect, don't ruin it with fighting.

You know you got me hypnotized
You have completely captured my attention and interest.

Señorita, feel the conga
Lady, listen to the conga music.

Let me see you move like you come from Colombia
Show me how you dance, like you're from Colombia.

No fighting
Please no fighting.
