A#m                                F#
I never really knew that she could dance like this
      G#                        Fm
(Hey!)  She makes a man want to speak Spanish
F#
Como se llama,

(Shakira, Shakira)

Chorus:
A#m                F#
Oh, baby when you talk like that
G#         Fm
You make a woman go mad
F#        G#
So be wise and keep on
A#m
Reading the signs of my body
A#m F#
I'm on tonight
            G#
You know my hips don't lie
         Fm
And I'm starting to feel it's right
F#                G#
All the attraction, the tension
A#m
Don't you see baby, this is perfection

A#m
Hey, girl, I can see your body moving
And it's driving me crazy (Huh-uh)
And I didn't have the slightest idea
Until I saw you dancin' (Yeah)
And when you walk up on
the dance floor, nobody cannot ignore
The way you move your body, girl (Just smooth)
And everything's so unexpected,
the way you right and left it
So you can keep on shakin' it (Let's go)

I never really knew that she could dance
like this (Hey)
She make a man wanna speak Spanish
¿Cómo se llama? (¡Sí!), ¿bonita? (¡Sí!)
Mi casa (Shakira, Shakira), su casa
Oh, baby, when you talk like that (Huh-uh; oh)
You make a woman go mad (So bad; oh)
So be wise (¡Sí!), and keep on (¡Sí!)
Reading the signs of my body
No fightin'

Chorus:
I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie (No fightin')
And I'm starting to feel you, boy (Yeah)
Come on, let's go, real slow
Don't you see, baby? Así es perfecto
They know I'm on tonight (Yeah)
My hips don't lie and I'm starting to feel
it's right
All the attraction, the tension
Don't you see, baby? This is perfection
(Shakira, Shakira)

A#m
Oh, boy, I can see your body movin',
half-animal, half-man
I don't, don't really know what I'm doin'
But you seem to have a plan (Yeah)
My will and self-restraint have come to
fail now, fail now
See, I'm doing what I can, but
I can't, so, you know
That's a bit too hard to explain
(Uno, dos, tres, cuatro)

Baila en la calle de noche (Uh, yeah)
Baila en la calle de día (Let's go!)
Baila en la calle de noche (Uh, yeah)
Baila en la calle de día (Let's go!)

I never really knew that she could dance
like this (Hey)
She make a man wanna speak Spanish (Yeah)
¿Cómo se llama? (¡Sí!), ¿bonita? (¡Sí!)
Mi casa (Shakira, Shakira), su casa
Oh, baby, when you talk like that (Huh-uh) (Oh)
You know you got me hypnotized (Oh)
So be wise (¡Sí! Uh), and keep on (¡Sí! Uh)
Readin' the signs of my body (Yeah)

Señorita, feel the conga
Let me see you move like you come from Colombia
Yeah, oh, yeah, ladies, ¡sí! (Yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
Mira, en Barranquilla se baila así, say it! (Yeah)
En Barranquilla se baila así (Yeah)
Ayy (Prr), yeah

[Verse 3: Wyclef Jean with Shakira]
She's so sexy, every man's fantasy
A refugee like me back with
the Fugees from a third world country (Huh-uh)
I go back like when 'Pac carried
crates for Humpty Humpty
We leave the whole club jazzy
Why the CIA wanna watch us?
It's the Colombians and Haitians
I ain't guilty, it's a musical transaction
Bo-bop-so-bop, no more do we snatch ropes
Refugees run the seas,
'cause we own our own boats, boats (No fightin')

Chorus:
I'm on tonight
My hips don't lie, and I'm starting to feel you, boy
Come on, let's go, real slow
Baby, like this is perfecto (No fighting)
Oh, you know I'm on tonight
My hips don't lie, and
I'm starting to feel it's right
The attraction, the tension
Baby, like this is perfection

No fightin'
No fightin'
