Gorilla
Bruno Mars3 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh, I got a body full of liquor 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 you, I promise it's a killer
You'll be banging on my chest
Bang bang, gorilla

Oooooh ooh, yeah
You and me baby, making love like gorillas
Oooooh ooh, yeah
You and me baby, making love like gorillas

Yeah, I got a fistful of your hair
But you don't look like you're scared
You're just smiling 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 rocking while they're knocking on our door
And you're screaming, "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 you, I promise it's a killer
You'll be banging on my chest
Bang bang, gorilla

Oooooh ooh, yeah
You and me baby, making love like gorillas
Oooooh ooh, yeah
You and me baby, making love like gorillas

I bet you never ever felt so good, so good
I got your body trembling like it should, it should
You'll never be the same baby, once I'm done with you, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
You, you, you

Oh, you with me baby, making love like gorillas
Oooooh ooh, yeah
You and me baby, we'll be fuckin' like gorillas




Oooooh ooh, yeah
You and me baby, making love like gorillas

Overall Meaning

The song "Gorilla" by Bruno Mars is a sensual, primal song about passionate lovemaking. The first verse of the song suggests that the singer is under the influence of alcohol and cocaine, and as a result, he feels like he's "thirty feet tall." The second verse is about the singer's lover, who has her legs up in the air and a devilish glint in her eye, indicating that she's ready for some serious action. The lyrics encourage the woman to express her desires and urges her to proclaim that she wants it all.


The chorus of the song is repeated several times throughout the song, emphasizing the main message of the song. The singer is comparing the intensity of his lovemaking to that of a gorilla, a powerful and primal animal known for its strength and ferocity. He promises to make his lover moan and writhe under his touch, and he revels in the fact that he can make her feel so good that she'll never be the same again.


The bridge of the song acknowledges the potential consequences of their actions, including the possibility of the police or SWAT team showing up at their door. However, the singer and his lover are undeterred and continue to engage in passionate lovemaking regardless of any outside interference.


Overall, "Gorilla" is a raw, primal, and unabashedly sexual song that embraces the intensity of passionate lovemaking.
