Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 doing, look what you done
'Cause what I got for you
I promise is a killer, you'll be banging on my chest
Bang bang, gorilla
Ooh ooh ooh yeah, you and me baby making love like gorillas
Ooh ooh 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 use 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 knocking on our door
And you're screaming give it to me baby
Give it to me motherfucker
Oh look what you doing, look what you done
But in this jungle you can't run
'Cause what I got for you
I promise is a killer, you'll be banging on my chest
Bang bang, gorilla
Ooh ooh ooh yeah, you and me baby making love like gorillas
Ooh ooh 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
Oh you with me baby making love like gorillas
Ooh ooh ooh yeah, you and me baby we'll be fuckin' it like gorillas
Ooh ooh ooh yeah
You and me baby making love like gorillas
The song "Gorilla" is a track from Bruno Mars featuring Esperanza Spalding, which contains explicit and sexual natured lyrics that alludes to animalistic sex. The song starts with the singer feeling invincible like he is on top of the world with a bottle full of liquor and a cocaine kicker. He invites his partner to lay down and express their desires. The lyrics of the songs describe the type of sexual activities the couple is engaging in, with the use of suggestive phrases such as "dirty little lover" and "give it to me motherfucker". Throughout the song, the singer repeatedly likens the act of lovemaking to that of gorillas.
Looking closely at the lyrics, the song seems to be metaphorical. The jungle referred to in the song alludes to the modern world where people behave unapologetically and with a lack of morals. The singer reflects the behavior of people, who are willing to do anything to achieve their desires. He, therefore, invites his partner to embrace her animalistic side by indulging in their sexuality, just as gorillas do. The song creates a visual interpretation of two people indulging in animal-like sex while enjoying the thrill of life.
