How'd You Learn to Shake It Like That

I once had a man, he was livin' alone

He used to let me play, now he don't no more

How'd you learn to shake it like that? (How'd you learn to shake it like that?)

He said, "How'd you learn to shake like that?" (How'd you learn to shake it?)

(Your daddy was a preacher) oh, but my mama was alley cat

I brought him in my kitchen, I pay his grocery bills

I had an action on the side, now he's tryin' to get me killed

How'd you learn to shake it like that? (How'd you learn to shake it like that?)

He said, "How'd you learn to shake like that?" (How'd you learn to shake it?)

(Your daddy was a preacher) oh, but my mama was alley cat

He brought me a car, I drove it into town

Before I got a park, the police took me down

They say, "How'd you learn to shake it like that?" (How'd you learn to shake it like that?)

Why'd you wanna do me like that? (Why'd you wanna do me?)

(Daddy was a preacher) but my mama was alley cat

Oh, lonely papa, God bless your soul

You got another man comin', and he stole your jelly roll

Why you wanna do me like that? (Why you wanna do me like that?)

Baby, why you wanna do me like that? (Why you wanna do me like that?)

Hey, my daddy was a preacher, but my mama was alley cat

When I got that man, I got me a bulldog too

My bulldog gonna bite my man, sure do

Why you wanna do me like that? (Why you wanna do me like that?)

Baby, why you wanna do me like that? (Why you wanna do me?)

Oh, my daddy was a preacher, but my mama was an alley cat
