The lyrics in Bob Marley's song "Stir It Up" speak of the excitement of being reunited with someone after a long absence and the desire to build love and passion through stirring things up together. The chorus encourages the listener to take action by stirring up their love and passion, calling their partner "little darling" in a sweet and affectionate way. The song emphasizes the importance of being together and stirring things up to create a satisfying and fulfilling relationship.
Marley's lyrics convey a sense of urgency and passion, as he sings about being thirsty and hot, and needing to be cooled down by his partner's "recipe." The lines "I'll push the wood / Then I blaze ya fire / Then I'll satisfy your heart's desire" suggest both physical and emotional actions to ignite and maintain the passion between lovers. The repetition of the phrase "stir it up" throughout the song reinforces the idea of taking action, and the verse "All you got to do, baby, / Is keep it in" underscores the importance of holding onto the love and desire within oneself.
