Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh, aw, sookie sookie now!
Hey, ow, uh, come on, baby
Hey there, sugar darling
Let me tell you something
Girl, I've been trying to say, now
You look so sweet
And you're so doggone fine
I just can't get you out of my mind
You've become a sweet taste in my mouth, now
And I want you to be my spouse
So that we can live happily, nah-nah
In a great big ol' roomy house

And I know you're gonna groove me, baby
Ah, yeah, now
You make me feel good inside
Come on, and groove me, baby
I need you to groove me
Ah, yeah, now, now, darling
Uh! Come on, come on!
Hey! Uh!

Hey there, sugar darlin'
Come on, give me something
Girl, I've been needing for days
Yes, I'm good, good loving
With plenty, plenty hugging
Ooh, you cute little thang, you
Girl, between you and me, nah-nah
We don't need no company
No other man, no other girl
Can enter into our world
Not as long as you groove me, baby
Oh, come on
Make me feel good inside

Come on and groove me, baby
Move me, baby
Ah, sock it to me, mama
Uh! Ah, I like it like that, baby
Uh! Groove me, baby! Hey! Uh!
Groove me, darling!
Come on, come on
I need you to sock it to me, mama
Come on and groove me, baby
Hey! Uh! Good, God!
It makes me feel so good inside, mama
Now, come on, come on, and uh
Groove me, baby, groove me, baby
Oh, sock it to me
Sock it to me
Rock it to me
Come on, come on!
Come on!
And uh




Groove me, mama, I want you to
Groove me baby

Overall Meaning

In King Floyd's song "Groove Me," the singer is addressing their love interest and expressing their infatuation with them. The singer complements the love interest's appearance and express their desire to be in a relationship with them- one where they can live together in a "great big ol' roomy house." The singer wants their love interest to "groove me," or help them feel good inside, showing that they see the love interest as someone who can bring joy and happiness to their life. The line "not as long as you groove me" also suggests that the singer sees their love interest as irreplaceable or unable to be substituted by others.


There is a sense of playfulness in the lyrics as well, with the use of phrases like "uh, aw, sookie sookie now!" and "sock it to me, mama." These phrases are meant to evoke a feeling of lust and excitement in the singer and also adds a touch of sensuality to the song. The repeated chorus of "groove me, baby" is catchy and memorable, making this song a classic groove and soul hit that still holds up today.

2:07 - 2:37 is one of the most electrifying 30 seconds you'll ever hear in music. My body can't hear this and not escalate my groove into a full blown get down. As a big fan of James Brown; the influence here is unmistakeable. Floyd is on the money (I just noticed what I did there) with the James Brown imitation but he still adds his own flavour which in turn makes his sound unique. Very underrated artist. That "Uggh" gives you chills.

To think my mother wasn't even born and my grandparents were teenagers when this song came out. It stands the test of time, here I am in 2019 blasting this in my car. All these new artists on TV are just fads, garbage. Baseless. Music like this just feeds me and my soul. Grooooove me.
