(bumper to bumper)
Give way I'm comin' through
I'll beep my horn for you
(bumper to bumper)
Give way I'm comin' through
Driving through the citydirty, nitty gritty
looking for a place to go
Girls are feeling risky
feelin' kinda frisky
come on baby let me know
Pull over, pull over
you're driving me reckless
Over the limit
alright you're gonna get this
Bumper to bumper, bumper to bumper
I want to drive your body, all night
I want a back seat lover, all right
You know that
I'll beep my heart for you
(bumper to bumper)
Give way I'm coming through
(bumper to bumper)
I'll beep my heart for you
(bumper to bumper)
Can't take my eyes off you
(bumper to bumper)
Looking but not stoppin'only window shoppin'
less you've got some goods to show
Don't tell us that were dirty
only being flirty
Tops off and down and here we go
Pull over, pull over
you're driving me reckless
Over the limit
alright you're gonna get this
Bumper to bumper, bumper to bumper
I want to drive your body all night
I want a back seat lover, all right
You know that
I'll beep my heart for you
(bumper to bumper)
Give way I'm comin' through
(bumper to bumper)
I'll beep my heart for you
(bumper to bumper)
Can't take my eyes off you
(bumper to bumper)
Lazy hazy summer days
(bump, bump)
Lazy hazy summer days
Lazy hazy summer days

Driving into the sunshine, driving into the sunshine
(lazy hazy summer days, lazy hazy summer days)
(lazy hazy summer days, lazy hazy summer days)
Driving into the sunshine, driving into the sunshine
Driving into the sunshine (ahhhh)
You know that

The Spice Girls' song "Bumper to Bumper" is a playful and fun reference to driving and cruising around in a car. The lyrics talk about the excitement of being on the move, driving through the city and looking for something to do. The girls are feeling risky and frisky and they want to see some action. They encourage their partner to pull over and give in to their desires.
The chorus is a playful repetition of the phrase "I'll beep my horn for you, bumper to bumper. Give way I'm coming through." This displays the assertiveness of the girls' pursuit of their interest while cruising around in the car. They want to move closer, get intimate and "drive your body all night" and "want a back seat lover". All of these lyrics allude to the fun, adventurous and daring nature of cruising around in a car with someone special.
Ultimately, the song is an ode to the romantic and daring excitement of being behind the wheel and cruising around with someone special. It showcases the carefree spirit of the '90s and speaks to the hopes and dreams of young people looking for love and adventure during this time period.
