Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's not a lot that you've been saying, whoa
But I can tell from your body language
Okay let's talk about it ('bout it)
I-Is you 'bout it? ('Bout it)
Let's talk about it ('bout it)
Can we talk about it?
You ain't gotta say too much (no)
I can read your body language
You ain't gotta say too much (no)
I can read your body language
Said you ain't gotta say too much (no)
Hate when you say that I play too much
When I get too close I'mma touch that subject
I can read yo' body, nuff said
Quit all that yappin'
Need less talk and a little more action (hey)
Now girl keep it G, know you speak a lil freak
I can hear it in yo' accent
Said tell me, can you understand my language?
If you tryna ride, just stay in my lane
There's no other way to explain it
In layman, fuck who you came with
It's not that a lot that you've been saying, whoa
But I can tell from your body language
Okay let's talk about it ('bout it)
I-Is you 'bout it? ('Bout it)

It ain't hard to tell (no)
If you don't wanna take it too far, then well (well)
You better stop flirtin' and stop twerkin'
So perfect, 'cause it's workin'
That ass worth all the worship
You been in yo' bag like Birkin
Never had it like this before me (no)
You ain't know girl better read up on me
You trying to get high got to re-up on me
Bein' stuck up gon' leave you lonely for the night (yeah)
We should leave before the light's
On, girl, I'm too on

We can make a scene that you be under the cover (cover)
Listen, you ain't gotta say too much
You ain't gotta say too much

The lyrics to Kid Ink Feat. Usher & Tinashe's song Body Language center around the idea that sometimes words are unnecessary when it comes to communication, as body language can convey more than what is verbalized. The singer in the song can read the body language of their partner and wants to talk about it, implying that there are underlying issues that need to be addressed. The chorus emphasizes that the partner doesn't need to say much because the singer can already understand from their physical cues. They also assure their partner that they don't have to be afraid to open up and discuss their feelings, and that they're willing to listen and understand.
The verse lines imply that things might have become awkward between the singer and their partner. However, communication through body language may be the key to resolving any issues that they have. The verses also hint at the singer wanting to take things to another level than just flirtation, encouraging the partner to stay in their lane if they're interested. The line "Bein' stuck up gon’ leave you lonely for the night" means that if the partner continues to be unapproachable, they'll miss out on the singer's company. The lyrics also suggest that the partner might have been playing games before, but now, it's time to get serious and communicate through more than just physical gestures.

Lol is Tinashe not insulted that she was surrounded by girls flaunting their asses? Guess she doesn't care. But is she at least insulted that she didn't get a verse? Her voice is capable of far more than what she was given to sing. I bet she's grateful for any part in this song, but she could do so much more...
@johnsongirl602
Ditto
@SuchLovelyPoison
I think shes just grateful for the exposure. She is capable of a lot more and everyone knows it. But the whole thing in the entertainment industry is getting people to know your name. The more features she does the bigger her name gets. #onestepatatime
@SIRGAGA123
My sentiments exactly, she was slumming it with this video and settling for less with the song. She's so much better than all of this & she's the only reason why I watched/listened tbh. I think the women that last long in the industry are those who put their for down and stand for something which is a shame because she has incredible energy and she's very talented
@JYMBO
shes all over the chorus if you listen properly, doing most of ushers harmonies too
@corderojohnson9686
She aint gotta say 2much
@2r2d18
People complaining bou tinashe not having a verse but her vocals in the background finishes the whole song and that's enough
