I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance with You (Black Kids cover) Lyrics

You are the girl that I’ve been dreaming of
Ever since I was a little girl x2
One!
I'm biting my tongue
Two!
He's kissin' on you
Three!
Can't you see?
One! Two! Three! Four!

Word's on the streets and it's all out too
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance with you
He's got two left feet and he bangs my mood
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance! dance! dance! dance!
The second I do, I know that we'll be through
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance with you
He suspects a thing although I wish he didn’t do
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance! dance! dance! dance!

You are the girl that I’ve been dreaming of
Ever since I was a little girl x2
One!
I'm biting my tongue
Two!
He's kissin' on you
Three!
Can't you see?
One! Two! Three! Four!
Word's on the streets and it's all out too
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance with you
He's got two left feet and he bangs my mood
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance! dance! dance! dance!
The second I do, I know that we'll be through
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance with you
I suspect a thing although I wish I didn’t do
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance! dance! dance! dance!
You are the girl that I’ve been dreaming of
Ever since I was a little girl x 4

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Black Kids fans are going to kill me, but I like this version better than the original. I love her voice in it and how she gives it more of a fun feel.

I love this song, and I'm a huge sucker for the original but I'm starting to like this better. It's so adorable. But I think the lyrics might slightly be incorrect, or maybe I hear something different..

For the chorus, anyway..

"The word's on the street THAT IT'S ALL I'LL DO I'm not gonna teach him how to dance with you ......... lalalllala pretty voice here He suspects a thing THAT I DIDN'T DO i'm not gonna teach him to dance..."

I'm almost positive that's correct.
