The lyrics of Burna Boy's song Body to Body #Ycd depict a story of two people who have a strong physical attraction to each other. The song begins with Burna Boy expressing his frustration at not being able to reach the person he desires. He goes on to describe how he saw her at the club in a tight dress and how she left an impression on him despite his best efforts to hide behind his dark shades. Burna Boy is then consumed by his love for this person that he can't seem to resist, and he imagines himself standing at her doorstep, willing to do whatever it takes to be with her.
The chorus is a repetition of Burna Boy's desire to "gum body" with the person, meaning he wants to be physically intimate with her. He acknowledges that he doesn't want to lose her to anyone else and believes that God will help him in his pursuit. He also notes that he doesn't understand what has come over him, and he can't resist his attraction to this person. The song ends with Burna Boy stating that he can't take the lies anymore and that he wants to be with this person.
