Gorilla
Bruno Mars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a cocaine kicker
And I'm feeling like I'm thirty feet tall
So lay it down, lay it down
You got your legs up in the sky
With the devil in your eyes
Let me hear you say you want it all
Say it now, say it now
Look what you're doing
Look what you've done
But in this jungle, you can't run
'Cause what I got for ya, I promise it's a killer
You'll be banging on my chest, bang-bang, gorilla
Ooh, ooh, yeah
You and me, baby, makin' love like gorillas
Ooh, ooh, yeah
You and me, baby, makin' love like gorillas
Yeah, I got a fistful of your hair
But you don't look like you're scared
You just smilin', tell me, "Daddy, it's yours"
'Cause you know how I like it, you's a dirty little lover
If the neighbors call the cops, call the sheriff, call the SWAT
We don't stop, we keep rockin' while they're knockin' on our door
And you're screamin', "Give it to me, baby
Give it to me, motherfucker"
Oh, look what you're doing
Look what you've done
But in this jungle, you can't run
'Cause what I got for ya, I promise it's a killer
You'll be bangin' on my chest, bang-bang, gorilla
Ooh, ooh, yeah
You and me, baby, makin' love like gorillas
Ooh, ooh, yeah
You and me, baby, makin' love like gorillas
I bet you never ever felt so good, so good
I got your body tremblin' like it should, it should
You'll never be the same, baby, once I'm done with you, you, you, you
Oh, you and me, baby, makin' love like gorillas
Ooh (ooh, ooh), ooh, yeah (yeah)
You and me, baby, we'll be fuckin' like gorillas
Yeah (ooh), yeah, baby (ooh), baby (yeah)
Aw, yeah, yeah
You and me, baby, makin' love like gorillas
The lyrics to Bruno Mars’s song “Gorilla” are highly sexual and provocative. The singer is indulging in a bottle full of liquor, laced with cocaine and feeling larger than life. He implores his partner to lay it all down, to let the devil in her come out, and to tell him that she wants it all. The next verse describes the sexual act, which is wild, aggressive, and without boundaries or inhibitions. They are making love like gorillas, and the singer is owning his dominance and sexual prowess, making his partner tremble and enticing her to submit to him.
The use of animal imagery in this song connotes a primal, instinctual quality to the sexual act. The gorilla symbolizes strength, dominance, and unbridled passion. Bruno’s lyrics, although explicit and explicit, suggest a mutual exchange of pleasure, where both partners are fully present, active, and engaged. Instead of using soft, romantic imagery, Bruno opts for a gritty, raw tone that emphasizes the carnal nature of the sexual experience.
Overall, “Gorilla” is a boldly sexual, provocative, and energizing song that embraces lust, passion, and sexual domination. It challenges conventions of romantic love and relationships and offers a glimpse into the untamed, animalistic side of human desire.

Ooh, I got a body full of liquor with a coco kicker
And I'm feelin' like I'm 30 feet tall

Probably one of his finest. His channeling of "Michael Jackson" vocals turn it into pure ecstasy.
