Body Language
Tennyson feat. Aloe Blacc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hold it, don't move
Now switch it up
And keep your mouth shut
Don't you say a word unless you say it with your body, baby
I suppose
That you wanna tell me something
But I don't wanna hear it
Put it in your hips and shoulders
Say it with your body, baby
So much talking, talking going on
I'm just trying to listen to the song
Yes, I like you a lot
Don't get me wrong
But don't say anything else
Or you'll be leaving here by yourself, babe
Put your feet
Right next to mine
Now follow me and
We can dance slow
Don't you say a word unless you say it with your body, baby
Put your hands right here in mine
Hold on tight, never let go
Put it in your hips and shoulders
Say it with your body, baby
So much talking, talking, going on
I'm just trying to listen to the song
Yes, I like you a lot
Don't get me wrong
But don't say anything else
Or you'll be leaving here by yourself, baby
And when you're speaking that body language
It shows and gets me, yeah
'Cause when you're speaking that body language
Finally, starts to fly
With the forest in your eyes
Your body language
Your body language
Hearts start to burn
Baby, I'm just trying to learn
Your body language
Your body language
Yeah
The song “Body Language” by Tennyson feat. Aloe Blacc revolves around a situation of communication breakdown between two people. The main message conveyed through the lyrics is that the singer wants the other person to express themselves non-verbally and through their body language, rather than using words. The verse “So much talking, talking going on, I'm just trying to listen to the song” highlights the idea that the constant chatter is getting in the way of the singer trying to connect with the other person.
The chorus “And when you're speaking that body language, it shows and gets me, yeah / ‘Cause when you're speaking that body language, finally starts to fly” emphasizes that the singer wants the other person to express themselves using their body in order to convey their feelings, thoughts, and desires. The bridge “With the forest in your eyes, Your body language” portrays the idea that the other person's body language is like a forest, full of hidden meanings and messages that the singer wants to explore and uncover.
In summary, the lyrics of “Body Language” communicate the frustration of a lack of meaningful communication between two individuals and the desire for non-verbal communication to bridge that gap.
