Humpin' Around
New Edition Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you trust someone
And you know you're on their back
You ain't got no trusting about you
And you claim that you
Don't care what where I'm at
You've given me reason to doubt you
Say you trust someone
Why are you calling all around
Think I've got some dip on the side
Girl you don't trust no one
And you're constantly in doubt
You lose the game, if you play that way

Get up off my back
Save a heart attack
Ain't nobody humpin' around (ain't nobody humpin' around)
No matter what they say
No it ain't that way
Ain't nobody humpin' around
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Humpin' around babe

When you love someone
And you want to love them right
Got to get more lovin' about you
And you know that you're holding on too tight
Soon they will be leaving without you
Say that you love someone
Why are you calling all my friends
Thinking I've got something to hide
Girl you don't love no one
You don't know what love's all about
You lose the game, (if you) if you play that way

Get up off my back
Save a heart attack
Ain't nobody humpin' around (ain't nobody humpin' around)
No matter what they say
No it ain't that way
Ain't nobody humpin' around
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Humpin' around babe

Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Humpin' around babe
Girl if you trust someone
You don't call on everybody
Ain't nobody foolin' around
And the more I think about it
You lose all your clout and
You lose the game, baby, if you play that way

Get up off my back
Save a heart attack
Ain't nobody humpin' around (ain't nobody humpin' around)
No matter what they say
No it ain't that way
Ain't nobody humpin' around
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Humpin' around babe

Girl you said you love me
And you said you trust me
Why do you think I'm foolin' around
I can't stand the pressure
You know I'm yours forever
Ain't nobody, nobody, humpin' around

Get up off my back
Save a heart attack
Ain't nobody humpin' around (ain't nobody humpin' around)
No matter what they say
No it ain't that way
Ain't nobody humpin' around
Nobody

Humpin' around babe

Get up off my back
Save a heart attack
Ain't nobody humpin' around (ain't nobody humpin' around)
No matter what they say

Ain't nobody humpin' around

Nobody
Humpin' around babe

Overall Meaning

New Edition's song "Humpin' Around" tells the story of a man who is frustrated with his partner's lack of trust in their relationship. He has given her no reason to doubt him, yet she constantly calls his friends and worrisome thoughts invade her mind. The song is a warning to his partner that if she continues to play games and not trust him, then their relationship will not work out. The chorus emphasizes that there isn't anyone else in the picture; the couple is the only one in this until the trust issues slip up.


The lyrics are painfully honest about the fragility of trust in relationships. Despite the man's clear affection for his partner, he is exasperated by the constant suspicion and calls from her. He did everything right, loved her without reservations, and had nothing to hide. But her insecurities were slowly driving them apart. It's a song that many people can relate to and empathize with, and it reflects the unfortunate fact that communication and trust are such a crucial part of any healthy relationship.


Line by Line Meaning

When you trust someone And you know you're on their back You ain't got no trusting about you And you claim that you Don't care what where I'm at You've given me reason to doubt you
If you trust someone, you shouldn't constantly check up on them. If you do, it shows that you don't fully trust them. Just because I don't care about your whereabouts doesn't mean I'm doing something wrong.


Say you trust someone Why are you calling all around Think I've got some dip on the side Girl you don't trust no one And you're constantly in doubt You lose the game, if you play that way
You claim to trust me, but you're calling everyone around to check up on me. You clearly don't trust anyone, and your constant doubt may push me away. If you play this way, you'll lose me and the game.


When you love someone And you want to love them right Got to get more lovin' about you And you know that you're holding on too tight Soon they will be leaving without you
If you truly love someone, you need to give them their personal space and trust them. Being clingy and holding on too tight will push them away and eventually they will leave without you.

Girl if you trust someone You don't call on everybody Ain't nobody foolin' around And the more I think about it You lose all your clout and You lose the game, baby, if you play that way
If you trust someone, you shouldn't call on everyone to check up on them. Nobody is fooling around and your actions will make you lose all your credibility. You'll lose me and the game if you continue playing this way.


Girl you said you love me And you said you trust me Why do you think I'm foolin' around I can't stand the pressure You know I'm yours forever Ain't nobody, nobody, humpin' around
You've said that you love and trust me, but your actions show otherwise. I can't handle the constant pressure and doubt. I'm committed to you forever and nobody is fooling around.

Stop checking up on me and causing unnecessary stress on our relationship. Nobody is fooling around and I'm committed to you. Don't listen to rumors or speculation. Nobody is humpin' around.
