Hips Don’t Lie Lyrics

[Intro: Wyclef Jean]
Ladies up in here tonight
No fightin' (We got the refugees up in here)
No fightin'
No fightin'
Shakira, Shakira

[Pre-Chorus: Wyclef Jean & Shakira]
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; yeah)
You make a woman go mad (Oh)
So be wise (¡Sí!), and keep on (¡Sí!)
Reading the signs of my body (Uno, dos, tres, cuatro)
No fightin'

[Chorus: Shakira & Wyclef Jean]
I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie (No fighting)
And I'm starting to feel it's right
All the attraction, the tension
Don't you see, baby? This is perfection

[Verse 1: Wyclef Jean]
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)

[Pre-Chorus: Wyclef Jean & Shakira]
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: Shakira & Wyclef Jean]
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)

[Verse 2: Shakira & Wyclef Jean]
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)

[Bridge: Wyclef Jean with Shakira]
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!)

[Pre-Chorus: Wyclef Jean & Shakira]
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)

[Refrain: Wyclef Jean & Shakira]
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: Shakira & Wyclef Jean]
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

[Outro: Wyclef Jean & Shakira]
No fightin'
No fightin'

What did Shakira say about "Hips Don't Lie"?

This whole new world had opened up to me, and with it came so many great opportunities, but I continued to pursue impossible goals such as making a song like “Hips Don’t Lie” for example – that had a Colombian cumbia and a mention of Barranquilla in the middle of it – play on American radio.
