Wyclef Jean - Dance Like This
Wyclef Jean feat. Claudette Ortiz
[Wyclef:]
I ain't come to fight tonight
Too many ladies up in here tonight
(Everybody report to the dance floor please! Grab a girl!)
[Wyclef:]
I never really knew that you could dance like this
She makes her man wanna speak spanish
Como se llama, Bonita? Mi casa, Su casa
[Claudette:]
The way you move, you've got me hypnotized
Especially when I look into his eyes
Hey Papi, I wanna see you do the dance to the conga
[Wyclef:]
Hey girl, I can see your body movin' and it's driving me crazy
And I did not have the slighest idea until I saw you dancin'
The way you walk up on the dance floor
Noobody could ignore the way you move your body, girl
And everything so unexpected the way you right and left it
So you could keep on digging it
Baila la baile de noche
Baila la baile de dýa
Baila la baile de noche
Baila la baile de dýa
[Chorus]
[Claudette:]
Hey boy, now that I see your new rhythm
I'm in a state of shock now
The way I can see your body movin'
And I don't want you to stop now
I like the way you approach me so sensually
You got me in a daze, boy
I can't ignore the way you're dancin'
You got me in a trance and I can't explain it
Baila la baile de noche
Baila la baile de dýa
Baila la baile de noche
Baila la baile de dýa
[Chorus]
[Wyclef:]
Senorita, feel the conga
Let me see you move like you come from Havana
[Claudette:]
Ohhh, I didn't know you did it like that
Hey, you Papi, don't you stop it
I wanna see you move your body
Ohhh, I didn't know you did it like that
Baila la baile de noche
Baila la baile de dýa
Baila la baile de noche
Baila la baile de dýa
[Chorus]
Baila la baile de noche
Baila la baile de dýa
Baila la baile de noche
Baila la baile de dýa
[Chorus x2]
