Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My mind's tellin' me no, but my body, my body's tellin' me yes
Baby, I don't wanna hurt nobody
But there is something that I must confess (to you)

I don't see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind (with a little bump and grind)
I don't see nothing wrong, baby baby, hey
I don't see nothing wrong (I don't see nothing wrong)
With a little bump and grind (with a little bump and grind)
I don't see nothing wrong, hey

Lookie here
See I know just what you want and I know just what you need girl
So baby bring your body to me (bring your body here)
I'm not fooling around with you
Baby my love is true, with you
(With you is where I want to be) Is where, I wanna be
Girl you need someone, someone like me to satisfy your every needs

I don't see nothing wrong (I don't see nothing wrong) with a little bump and grind (With a little bump and grind)
I don't see nothing wrong, baby, baby
I don't see (I don't see nothing wrong) I don't see
With a little bump and grind (nothing wrong with a little, bump and grind)
I don't see nothing wrong, baby, hey

You say he's not treating you right
Lady spend the night now
I'll love you like you need to be loved (Baby, girl won't you try some of me)
No need to look no more because I've opened up my door
You'll never, you'll never want another love, baby you'll never find another me
You see you need someone, someone like me, yeah to make love to you baby, constantly

I don't see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind (I don't see hey, nothing wrong)
I don't see nothing wrong, oh

I don't see nothing wrong, baby, baby, alright

I don't see nothing wrong, I don't see nothing wrong, with a little bump and grind (nothing)
I don't see nothing wrong, I don't see, I don't see nothing wrong
I don't see nothing wrong, no, no, no with a little bump and grind




I don't see nothing wrong, nothing wrong, nothing wrong, nothing wrong
I don't see nothing wrong (baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby) with a little bump and grind

Overall Meaning

In R. Kelly's song "Bump n' Grind," the lyrics depict a situation where the singer is torn between his conscience and his desires. He acknowledges that his mind is telling him that engaging in physical intimacy may not be the right thing to do, but his body is responding positively to temptation. Despite this internal conflict, the singer is willing to express his true intentions and desires to the person he is addressing.


The song continues with the assertion that there is nothing inherently wrong with engaging in a little "bump and grind," referring to a sensual dance move that can also symbolize sexual activity. The repetition of the phrase signifies the singer's emphasis on this point. He wants to reassure the person he is speaking to that he sees no harm or moral dilemma in pursuing a physical relationship.


As the song progresses, the singer expresses his understanding of his companion's needs and desires. He positions himself as the ideal partner who can fulfill those desires and provide the love and satisfaction that may be lacking in her current relationship. The lyrics indicate that the singer is confident in his ability to give the person what she needs and that she won't find anyone else who can love her like he can, suggesting a sense of self-assuredness.
