He looks good
He makes you feel like a queen
You thought he would
He's got that, he's got that thing
But if you knew what I knew
You wouldn't be up in his room
Wish you could see what I seen

He can buy you clothes
And make you wanna settle in
But girl, yeah, you've been told
That he won't know how to begin
Getting close to him might feel like
He might be the one but get him into bed
Na, he won't ever make you come

If he can't dance, then he can't (uh)
Take your chance, wanna test your luck
Watch him move, it's not enough
If he can't dance, then he can't (uh)
If he can't dance, then he can't (uh)
Take your chance, wanna test your luck
Watch him move, it's not enough
If he can't dance, then he can't (uh, uh)

Play your game
Do what you can to get close
But I'll explain how it works, how it goes
It's just his thing
I mean, like everyone knows
You can't explain
It's just the way that we work

He can buy you clothes
And make you wanna settle in
But girl, yeah, you've been told
That he won't know how to begin
Getting close to him might feel like
He might be the one but get him into bed
Na, he won't ever make you come

If he can't dance, then he can't (uh)
Take your chance, wanna test your luck
Watch him move, it's not enough
If he can't dance, then he can't (uh)
If he can't dance, then he can't (uh)
Take your chance, wanna test your luck
Watch him move, it's not enough
If he can't dance, then he can't (uh, uh)

Make your move if you wanna know
If he's good for you then he'll let it show
You can swing those hips, maybe drop it low
Boys like that never make you go (ah)
Much too fine to be on your own
But a guy like that gon' be difficult
If he can't two-step then you're on your own
Just to let you know

If he can't dance, then he can't (uh)
Take your chance, wanna test your luck
Watch him move, it's not enough
If he can't dance, then he can't (uh)
If he can't dance, then he can't (uh)
Take your chance, wanna test your luck
Watch him move, it's not enough
If he can't dance, then he can't (uh, uh)

(Uh, uh)
If he can't dance, then he can't
