"Under the table" in lyrics
Do you wanna go home with me if I serve you some alcohol then?
And tonight it is allowed to be a whore
Do you wanna go home with me when we drink under the table?

One day, I see your uneasy feeling
The rose still under the table
The leaf still not wilted, the flower still not withered
Grupo Niche - An Adventure / A Fling
About to burst, we're about to burst
Every time we're on front of each other gazing
And we touch each other's feet under the table
And a stolen kiss ever remains as a goodbye
Unless you find me I'll still be lost
I touched your feet under the table
You know well that it was not an accident
This is not normal, this is something crazy
He went under the table, gyrated, jumped and cackled
Took off his clothes, took off his age, took off his mind
You leave him, and I leave her
And we are looking each other under the table
Tell him that you are're leaving and that your head hurts

My man, my man ! Drink whisky for all the niggas
And all the funniest comin' to suck us under the table

And she walks like a saint, floats like an angel
Sharp like a knife under the table
Can't feel my face, I should've stayed home
You don't get out of my head
I'm looking at you when she kisses you
I touch you secretly under the table
I have a show for you in private if you are interested
Dice and Ice cube
It's too dangerous here (I need you)
Home-girls, bitches
Just shuffle the cards
I don't tell nobody about it
That if it was up to you, in order to kill me, you'd pay someone

But you don't know that when they turn the lights off on set, only smoke remains

don't say a word
do not drink from the nozzle
hands under the table
go into the kitchen

I'm Eminem
unless you find me I'll still be lost
I touched your feet under the table
You know well that it was not an accident

Pulling white noise through
Your bed was already made under the table
Table reserved only for one
