I'll Tumble 4 Ya
Culture Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're in our never splendour
Flowers, showers
Who's got the new boy gender?
I'll be your baby, I'll be your score
I'll run the gun for you and so much more
I'll tumble for ya, I'll tumble for ya
I'll tumble for ya, I'll tumble for ya
I'll tumble for ya, I'll tumble
Uptown their sound is like the native you send her
Junction, function the boy with pop is slender
Did he say maybe or I'm not sure?
He'll be a boy for you but you need more
I'll tumble for ya, I'll tumble for ya
I'll tumble for ya, I'll tumble for you
I'll tumble for ya, I'll tumble for ya
I'll tumble for ya, I'll tumble
I get a crazy feeling that chases in my head
It's nothing that you do to me
It's nothing that you said
It's love in stereo
And when I can't let got I say
I'll be your baby
I'll be your score
I'll run the gun for you and so much more
I'll tumble for ya, I'll tumble for ya
I'll tumble for ya, I'll tumble for ya
I'll tumble for ya, I'll tumble for ya
I'll tumble for ya, I'll tumble
Downtown we'll drown
We're in our never splendour
Flowers, showers
Who's got the new boy gender?
I'll be your baby, I'll be your score
I'll run the gun for you and so much more
I'll tumble for ya, I'll tumble for ya
I'll tumble for ya, I'll tumble for you
I'll tumble for ya, I'll tumble for ya
I'll tumble for ya, I'll tumble
The lyrics of Culture Club's song "I'll Tumble 4 Ya" are open to interpretation. One interpretation is that the song is about a person who is willing to do anything for their lover. The beginning of the song paints a picture of two people drowning in the beauty of the city, surrounded by flowers and rain. The lyrics suggest that the singer is asking who has the ability to provide them with a new type of love, one that transcends traditional gender roles. The singer is promising to be there for their lover, to be their "baby", and to do anything and everything for them, including risking their own safety.
The chorus of the song, "I'll tumble for ya," suggests a willingness to do anything, even fall down or take a tumble, for the person they love. The second verse introduces a new character, "the boy with pop is slender." This character is described as being uncertain or indecisive, possibly about his gender or sexuality. The singer recognizes this uncertainty and offers to be there for him, promising to "run the gun" for him and do whatever it takes to support him.
The last verse suggests that the singer is experiencing a powerful feeling of love and devotion, perhaps even an obsession, that they cannot ignore. They are willing to do anything for their lover, no matter what the cost. The repetition of the chorus at the end of the song reinforces this promise of devotion and self-sacrifice.

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with emotions and thoughts
It's nothing that you do to me
Your actions are not the cause of the strong feelings I have
It's nothing that you said
Your words are not the cause of the strong feelings I have
It's love in stereo
My feelings are amplified when I'm with you or when I think about you
And when I can't let go, I say
I am so committed to you that I can't imagine leaving you, even if things get tough
I'll tumble for ya, I'll tumble for ya
I am willing to risk everything for you
