Stir It Up
Bob & The Wailers Marley Lyrics

Ooh, stir it up
Encouraging the listener to mix or blend something, possibly related to love, passion or desire.

Little darlin', stir it up
Addressing a significant other or someone special, inviting them to join in the mixing process.

Come on and stir it up
Motivation to keep the mixing process going, with enthusiasm and energy.

It's been a long, long time
A statement that suggests the long wait for something positive to happen.

Since I've got you on my mind
Memories of someone special resurfacing in the mind, which triggers good emotions.

And now you are here, I say it's so clear
The presence of someone special might create clarity or new perspective on things.

See what we could do, honey
Imagining the possibilities of what can be achieved together by the two of them.

Just me and you, oh, we could stir it up
Expressing the pleasure of doing things together, and the potential positive outcome of their collaboration.

I push the wood (stir it, stir it, stir it, yeah)
Metaphorically stating his role in the mixing process, as someone who brings energy and enthusiasm into the relationship.

I blaze your fire (stir it, stir it, stir it, yeah)
Metaphorically stating the other person's role in the mixing process, as someone who ignites passion, desire, or creativity.

Then I satisfy your, your heart's desire (stir it, stir it, stir it, yeah)
Highlighting the importance of meeting the other person's needs or desires.

Said I stir it, yeah (stir it, stir it, stir it, yeah)
Reinforcing their commitment to keep the mixing process going, with dedication and determination.

Every minute, yeah (stir it, stir it, stir it, yeah)
Emphasizing the importance of keeping the passion and energy alive, without getting bored or disinterested.

All you got to do, honey (stir it, stir it, stir it, yeah)
Encouraging the partner to be more engaged and involved in the mixing process, even if it requires effort or sacrifice.

Is keep it in and stir it up (stir it, stir it, stir it, yeah)
Explaining that keeping the mix balanced and preventing negative emotions from ruining the process is key to success.

Oh would you quench me while I'm thirsty?
Using a metaphor of thirst to express the need for love, attention, or care from the significant other.

Oh, would you cool me down, when I'm hot?
Using a metaphor of heat to express the feeling of excitement or stress that needs to be balanced by the partner's calming influence or support.

Your recipe darlin', is so tasty,
Complimenting the partner's skills or personality traits that make them a valuable and enjoyable companion.

And you sure can stir your pot, so
Acknowledging the partner's ability to initiate or maintain a positive and balanced dynamic between the two of them.

Won't you just stir it up?
An invitation to continue the mixing process, and to enjoy the positive sensations that come with it.
