Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just can't think of what it is
You remind me of my jeep, I want to ride it
Something like my sound, I want to pump it
Girl you look just like my cars, I want to wax it
And something like my bank account
I want to spend it, baby
It's something about your love that's got me going crazy
Baby, you know I want you real bad
And girl I really like your freaky style
How can I be down with you?
So get a little closer to my ride
I want to get to know you lady
And hip me up on how to get inside you
Listen, pretty baby
I want to roll it, roll it, roll it, roll it
Is all I want to do for you baby
Girl, it's something kind of sexy
Goin' on about you babe
You remind me of my jeep, I want to ride it
Something like my sound, I want to pump it
Girl you look just like my cars, I want to wax it
And something like my bank account
I want to spend it, baby
You remind me of my jeep, I want to ride it
Something like my sound, I want to pump it
Girl you look just like my cars, I want to wax it
And something like my bank account
I want to spend it, baby
Now I would like to take you on a ride tonight
Girl, you know we'll have so much fun
And give you everything your body needs
Satisfaction guaranteed
So pull up to my bumper and let the system sound
Girl, I bet cha' I can drive you crazy
And let me be the one to drop you off
Babe, listen to me
I want to roll it, roll it, roll it, roll it
Is all I want to do for you baby
Girl, it's something kind of sexy

Turn off the lights, turn off the lights, baby

R. Kelly’s song “You Remind Me of Something” is an ode to a woman who, as the title suggests, reminds him of something but he just can’t quite put his finger on what it is. However, as the lyrics progress, it becomes pretty clear that the “something” that the woman reminds him of is his jeep (his car), his sound (his music) and his bank account (his wealth). Throughout the song, R. Kelly talks about his fascination with the woman’s beauty and how it’s making him crazy with the desire to get to know her better.
In the first verse, R. Kelly tells the woman that she reminds him of his jeep and that he wants to ride her. When he says he wants to pump her sound, it can refer to the woman’s voice or the music they’re listening to in the car. He also expresses his desire to wax her like his car, implying that he wants to take care of her like he does his vehicle. When he talks about wanting to spend his bank account on her, he’s saying that he’s willing to invest in her, both emotionally and financially.
As the song continues, R.Kelly keeps telling the woman that there’s something sexy about her and that he wants to get to know her better. He tells her that he likes her freaky style and asks how he can be down with her, suggesting he wants to hook up with her. The chorus is a repetition of how the woman reminds him of his jeep and that he wants to ride her.
In the bridge, R. Kelly sings about taking the woman for a ride in his car and how he’ll give her everything her body needs. He says that he’ll satisfy her no matter what and that she can trust him. The song ends with him telling her that he’s coming through her door and that there’s something special about the moment they’re sharing.
Overall, “You Remind Me of Something” is a song about desire and the lengths that someone is willing to go to impress the person they’re attracted to.
