Say What
the peach kings Lyrics

Standing in the corner just swinging his hips, stompin his feet to the beat like this
He's standing in the corner swinging his hips and stomping his feet in rhythm with the music.

I walk over from across the room, said 'hey shy boy, are you in the mood?'
She approaches him and asks if he wants to dance.

D-A-N-C-E all you no rhythm chickens wanna dance with me
She's encouraging everyone to dance regardless of their rhythm.

I don't need another man cuz I got one, so just listen to the rhythm of the kick drum
She doesn't need anyone else to dance with because she has a partner, so she's just dancing alone and focusing on the beat of the music.

Jerk your shoulders back and forth and pulse your hips to the beat like this
She's giving instructions on how to dance to the beat of the music.

Keep yourself so secret, that's how you like to be It's no surprise to me, I know you see, I know you see
She acknowledges that he keeps to himself and isn't surprised by it.

Willie Nelson, Fred Astaire, John Travolta, I don't care I wanna see your mean disco drag queen, the stare
She doesn't care about famous dancers, she wants to see his unique style of dancing and attitude.

Now stomp out the beat with your feet like that Tip your hat and shrug it back
She's giving instructions on how to dance and add some personal flair with hat tipping and shrugging.

Hey ladies you wanna line dance, strap your hand on your fella's back Now step, pivot, dip, turn, shake it down shake it down town Two step two step, pivot, dip, turn, shake it down shake it down town D-A-N-C-E all you no rhythm chickens wanna dance with me I don't need another man cuz I got one, I got one
She's leading the ladies in a line dance, but she doesn't need any more partners because she already has one.

Say what you want to me Take what you need to take You should run away, so run away to somewhere safe
She's telling him to be honest with her and take what he needs from their interaction, but also warning him to leave if he feels uncomfortable or unsafe.

There are things that can't be unsaid, they're stuck inside your head You should find a way, you're wide awake, so wide awake
There may be things that come up in conversation that he can't forget, so he should find a way to deal with them because he's fully aware of what's happening.

I just can't contain it, you won't stop you want to persuade it I just can't contain it, you won't stop you want to persuade me
She can't control her emotions and he's trying to convince her of something.
