Bruno Mars ft R. Kelly & Pharrell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Its 4am and you are up getting fucked up
And what a world, it is all girls, I'am in luck
Say hello to your sisters and lets try some yoga
I'm Yoda, it cold but lets get it poppin' like soda
One we'll make a bridge and two we'll make our pros up
One will do the down dog and I will be the cobra
It's NERD where the party's never sorry, no illa
I take 'em to the head, now to the bed, said rest gorilla

Uh, I got body full of liquor with a cocaine kicker
And I'm feeling like I'm 30 feet tall
So lay down, lay 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 your doing, look what you touch
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

Uh, yeah, you and me baby making love like gorillas
Yeah, you and me baby making love like gorillas

I'm like a anaconda in your garden
Baby girl I'm exploring, deep down in your forest
Like uh ah
We got it hotter than an Amazon, got you
Cheetah bra with your heels on
And I'm about to be the king of your jungle like, uh ah ah
It's like a rainforest baby, how I got your love pourin' down
And I'mma make that pussy growl
'Cause what I got for you
Girl I promise is a killer, you'll be banging on my chest
Bang, bang, gorilla

Uh, yeah, you and me baby making love like gorillas
Uh, yeah, you and me baby making love like gorillas
I bet you never ever felt so good, so good
I got a body trembling like you should

You'll never be the same, baby once I'm done with you
Baby I'mma be your gorilla
Baby making love like gorilla's
Baby I'mma be your gorilla
Uh, yeah, you and me baby making love like gorillas
And I'll be going ape on
All up in your forest going crazy
Uh, yeah, you and me baby we'll be fuckin' like gorillas




You and me baby, making love like gorilla's
Making love like gorillas

Overall Meaning

The song “Gorilla” by Bruno Mars featuring R. Kelly and Pharrell is a sexually explicit piece that describes a wild night of passion between two people. The first verse describes the setting: it’s 4am, and the singer is up getting drunk with a group of women. He seems excited to be surrounded by women and is up for trying something new, like yoga. The chorus describes the woman and their sexual encounter. The singer describes the woman as having the devil in her eyes and being a wild animal, like a gorilla. He promises intense, mind-blowing sex that will leave her trembling.


The second verse is a continuation of the first and is sung by R. Kelly. He, too, talks about being intoxicated and feeling like he's 30 feet tall. He encourages his partner to open herself up to him and give into their mutual desires. The third verse is sung by Pharrell, and he compares himself to an anaconda in a garden, exploring deep down in a woman's forest. The song ends with the chorus sung by all three artists.


Bruno Mars, R. Kelly, and Pharrell are all highly popular and successful musicians. While “Gorilla” received some criticism from critics for its explicit content, it was still a commercial hit. The song's video, which features Freida Pinto, was also highly controversial, as it was quite graphic in terms of its sexual content.

I absolutely love everything about this remix!  It doesn't take the place of the original but is a song of its own.  I dig it!

Toni Harrison

I'm also impressed that RKelly can hit the notes that Bruno does.  He is not easy to sing along with.
