Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby, I don't want to hurt nobody
But there is something that I must confess (to you)
I don't see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind
I don't see nothing wrong, hey baby, hey
I don't see nothing wrong (I don't see nothing wrong) with a little bump and grind
I don't see nothing wrong, hey
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
Baby my love is true (with you) with you is where I want to be
Girl, you need someone, someone like me to satisfy your every needs
I don't see nothing wrong 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 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 don't see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind
In R. Kelly’s hit song “Bump ‘N Grind,” he speaks about his inner conflict over whether to engage in sexual activity with a woman. The opening lyrics, “My mind is tellin’ me no, but my body, my body’s tellin’ me yes” depict his struggle with temptation. He realizes that there is something he needs to confess and tells the woman he doesn’t want to hurt anybody.
R. Kelly goes on to state that he knows what the woman wants and needs and that she needs someone like him to fulfill her desires. He invites her to bring her body to him, saying that his love for her is true and that he wants to be with her. Kelly reassures the woman that she need not look any further because he has opened up his door, and she will never find another love like his.
The chorus of the song, “I don’t see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind,” is repeated throughout the song, indicating that R. Kelly is comfortable engaging in sexual activity with the woman despite his initial hesitation. Despite its controversial lyrics, “Bump ‘N Grind” was a huge hit upon its release and remains a fan favorite to this day.
