R. Kelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is my song
They want it
I gotta give it to them
Girl You're In The Kitchen
Cookin' me a meal
Somethin' makes me want to come in there and get a feel
Nothin' else on
Struttin'pass
Switchin' that ass
While I'm on the phone
Oh
Cuttin' up tomatoes, fruits, and vegatables, and potatoes
Girl You look so Sexy
While you're doin' the damn thing
That I want Sex In The Kitchen
Over by the stove
Put you on the counter
By the Buttered rolls
Hands on the table
On your tippy toes
We'll be makin' Love
Like the restaurant was closed
The song "Sex in the Kitchen" by R. Kelly is a sensual, R&B jam that speaks on the singer's desire for his partner while cooking in the kitchen. The opening lines suggest that he recognizes the popularity and demand for this type of song and he is willing to give it to his fans. The lyrics passionately describe the singer's admiration for his partner as she cooks in the kitchen. He describes the enticing possibility of walking in on her and feeling her up, while she struts her stuff in a T-shirt and nothing else. He further elaborates on the scene by mentioning the fruits, vegetables, and potatoes that she's cutting up, but he can only focus on how sexy she looks while doing it.
The chorus expresses his desire to have sex with his partner in the kitchen, specifically by the stove or on the counter by the buttered rolls. The lyrics also suggest getting hands-on with the table while his partner stands on her tippy toes, painting a vivid picture of the scenes he desires. He concludes the song by repeating his desire while comparing the passion they will share to a restaurant that has closed for the day, as if to imply that they have the entire place to themselves to fully enjoy each other's company.
Overall, the song "Sex in the Kitchen" can be seen as a celebration of intimacy and raw passion in a unique setting, as the kitchen is oftentimes considered a space for mundane culinary activities. However, R. Kelly's lyrics and musical style infuse an air of passion that one may not expect in this everyday space.
