You Know How - Rotaris
Week 3 of my self-imposed challenge to make-and-release a song each Monday for 5 weeks. This one's a bit more pop and generic sounding, but it still has some uncommon words like 'knurl' and 'medial' — as that's just what came out in the end (in the spirit of 'underthinking').
If you happen to like it, you can download it from SoundCloud: / you-know-how
Side note: It was originally meant to be a story about a couple in California going out dancing and then an earthquake strikes, with Mother Earth personified in the hook...but this was overambitious and I didn't quite incorporate this story into the song.

Rough Lyrics:
[Verse]
It’s a Saturday night and we out to dance
I wanna reach out and touch your hands
But I’m too scared to touch it though
You look so pretty with a lovely rose
cheeks when you smile
And those teeth
I’m like oh
Oh no please
You so hot
In this heat
In this California heat
I be like
Oh no please
You so hot
In this heat
And I’m here
Sweating beads
Hoping for that sweet release
I’m not the kind of guy that’s good with girls
I’m more the guy that likes his turtle shell
And finds it hard to deal with his caramel
tone of skin with a shade of time of kill
I like the world, I like you girl
I be lost in your scented swirl
I be feeling you like some knurls
I be feeling you like some knurls
[Hook]
You know how to move it girl
You know how to shake the boy
You know how to move the world
You know how to make the noise
[Verse]
The moment I saw you
Was hoping to know you
Wanted to launch like a spring that is coiled
Felt like a rose would grow from the soil
For each of your steps like just to adore you
Under your graces, under your beauty
A gem of a brain that’s finer than rubies
a musical taste that’s lapis lazuli
the way that you move is out of a movie
Like Banjo-Kazooie, let’s go pair up
You be the queen and I be the pharaoh
(A) genial human, cool like the air of
Medial Zurich
— Are you Coursera?
‘Cause I wanna be the one to go and study you
And I wanna be the one to fall in love with you
If I were to really tell you nothing but the truth
You be like an angel and I wanna cuddle you
