Can You Cook

Tell me, baby, can you cook?

Tell me, baby, can you cook?

Saw you at the cookout with the paper plate
Everybody lining up, you said, "Oh, wait"
Pulled a little dish out of a cooler bag
Everybody stopped and the uncles went mad
Mac and cheese baked with the crust on top
Cornbread sweet, girl, I had to stop
Now I'm in the corner with a plastic fork
Thinking 'bout the future, now I'm thinking 'bout porch

Now you're fine, I know you're fine
Everybody in the building knows
But I want a woman in the kitchen
Or a man, I don't care, let's go

Tell me, baby, can you cook?
'Cause you look like dinner and a movie
But I'm hungry for the whole thing, girl
Tell me, baby, can you cook?
'Cause you look like dinner and a movie
But I'm hungry for the whole thing, girl
Tell me, baby, can you cook?

(Mm, mm) Can you cook?
Grits and a biscuit
(Mm, mm) Can you cook?

Now I know that's old school, now I know it's a lot
But a man's gotta eat and I'm a man with a pot
I can do the dishes, I can sweep the floor
I can dance with you till we can't dance no more
I can pay the bills and I can fix the sink
I can burn a steak faster than you think
So I'm looking for a partner, I'm looking for a cook
You can have my heart, girl, but first let me look

Now you're fine, I know you're fine
Everybody in the building knows
But I want a woman in the kitchen
Or a man, I don't care, let's go

Tell me, baby, can you cook?
'Cause you look like dinner and a movie
But I'm hungry for the whole thing, girl
Tell me, baby, can you cook?
'Cause you look like dinner and a movie
But I'm hungry for the whole thing, girl

Gumbo (can you cook?)
Collard greens (can you cook?)
Peach cobbler (can you cook?)
Baby, marry me
Sweet potato pie (can you cook?)
Baby, marry me

Tell me, baby, can you cook?
'Cause you look like dinner and a movie
But I'm hungry for the whole thing, girl
Tell me, baby, can you cook?

(Mm, mm) Can you cook?
