Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The way that you walking, the way that you talking (talking)
You're the one I want to spend this night with
Trying to get in them drawers and bang it out 'til the morning (the morning)
I can already tell you want it
'Cause you shaking it all for me, giving it all to me
Rubbing that body on me
Keep on shaking it all for me, giving it all to me
Rubbing that body on me (I'm lovin' that)

Hey how you doing mama?
I need to know your name
You giving me the eye eye
I'm giving you the same
It just hit me right now
What we should do today?
Go tell you friends bye bye
And lets go hop a plane
It's no mistaken the attraction's ironic
I wanna make you someone more then just a a bone in my closet
I wanna win that type of relationship
Where you gon' wanna come hang when your man done trip
You say your short this month and you're late on your rent
He took your car, what you mean? Hold this
yeah yeah, uh, whoa
You see lil mama outta control and I'm just sayin'

The way that you walking, the way that you talking (talking)
You're the one I want to spend this night with
Trying to get in them drawers and bang it out 'til the morning (the morning)
I can already tell you want it
'Cause you shaking it all for me, giving it all to me
Rubbing that body on me
Keep on shaking it all for me, giving it all to me
Rubbing that body on me (I'm lovin' that)

Shawty movin' closer (ay), and closer (ay)
And slower (ay), and lower, yeah
I think she know she makin me hard
Got every man in the buildin like, "Oh my God"
She, slicker than lodi-dodi, she work her body body
When you done here at the party, meet me down there in the lobby
And I'll be waitin' on ya, ain't no debatin' on ya
I got a seat for ya, we can let the top back and go
We don't have to stop girl, no
I got a lil' somethin' I wanna show
Believe me, it's strong
Lil' mama please don't make me wait too long (yeah yeah)

The way that you walking, the way that you talking (talking)
You're the one I want to spend this night with
Trying to get in them drawers and bang it out 'til the morning (the morning)
I can already tell you want it
'Cause you shaking it all for me, giving it all to me
Rubbing that body on me
Keep on shaking it all for me, giving it all to me
Rubbing that body on me

Now I see you lookin' at my body baby
Now you wanna come and put it on me
If I gave it to you, could you promise me
That you could make it feel like it never did?
'Cause I see you (I see you), and you see me (you see me)
Now if I please you (I please you), could you please me? (you please me)
Now I ain't the one in no relationship
And I ain't tryna be the other chick
I know you want it

The way that you walking, the way that you talking (talking)
You're the one I want to spend this night with
Trying to get in them drawers and bang it out 'til the morning (the morning)
I can already tell you want it
'Cause you shaking it all for me, giving it all to me
Rubbing that body on me




Keep on shaking it all for me, giving it all to me
Rubbing that body on me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nelly's "Body On Me" ft. Ashanti and Akon heavily emphasize physical attraction between two people. They describe the way the woman is walking and talking, and the way she's shaking and rubbing her body on the man. The man wants to spend the night with her and is already convinced that she wants it too. He wants to go ahead and start something serious between them and make her more than just a fling. The woman, on the other hand, also shows interest and wants to be pleased in return. She wants to be more than just a side chick and wants him to promise that he can make her feel like nobody else did.


The lyrics of "Body On Me" depicts a scenario that can be problematic as it normalizes objectification and reinforces harmful gender roles. The lyrics portray the woman as an object of desire instead of an equal partner in the relationship. It's essential to understand that this kind of language is not okay and can create an unhealthy mindset towards women. Despite the controversy around the lyrics, "Body On Me" became a popular song and remained a classic.
