Lyrics

I (Bm)nev er real ly knew that she could (G)dance like this.

She makes a man wan na (F#m)speak Span ish.

Co mo se lla ma (A)si, bo ni ta, (Bm)si, mi ca sa, su ca sa.

Oh ba by, when you (G)talk like that you make a (F#m)wom an go mad.

So be wise, (A)si, and keep on, (Bm)si, read ing the signs of my bod y.

I’m (G)on to night.

You know my (A)hips don’t lie and I’m (F#m)start in’ to feel it’s right.

All the at trac tion, the at ten tion.

Don’t you see, ba by?

This is per fec tion.

Hey girl, I can see your bod y mov in’ and it’s driv in’ me cra zy.

And I did n’t have the slight est i de a un til I saw you danc in’.

And when you walk up on the dance floor no bod y can (CN.C.)not ig nore the way you move your bod y, girl.

And ev ’ry thing’s so un ex pect ed, the way you right and left it.

So you can keep on shak in’ it… Babe, I know I’m (G)on to night.

My (A)hips don’t lie and I’m (F#m)start in’ to feel it’s right.

All the at trac tion, the at ten tion.

Don’t you see, ba by?

This is per fec tion.

Oh boy, I can see your bod y (Bm)mov in’.

Half an i mal, half man.

I don’t, don’t real ly know what I’m do in’ but you seem to have a plan.

My will and self re straint have come to fail now, fail now.

See I’m do ing what I can but I can’t so you know that’s a bit too hard to ex plain.

Bai la la cal le de no che.

Bai la la cal le de a.

Bai la la cal le de no che.

Bai la la cal le de.

(Bm)Nev er real ly knew that she could (G)dance like this.

She makes a man wan na (F#m)speak Span ish.

Co mo se lla ma (A)si, bo ni ta, (Bm)si, mi ca sa, su ca sa.

Oh ba by, when you (G)talk like that you know you (F#m)got me hyp no tized.

So be wise, (A)si, and keep on, (Bm)si, read in’ the signs of my bod y.

Se ño ri ta feel the con ga.

(Bm)Let me see you move like you come from Co lom bi a.

Mi ra en Ba ran qui lla se bai lar sì, say.

En Ba ran qui lla se bai lar sì.

I’m (G)on to night.

My (A)hips don’t lie and I’m (F#m)start in’ to feel you, boy.

Come on let’s go, real slow.

Ba by, like this is per fec to.

Oh, you know I’m (G)on to night.

My (A)hips don’t lie and I’m (F#m)start in’ to feel it’s right.

All the at trac tion, the at ten tion, ba by, like this is per fec tion.
