Lyrics:Bump 'N' Grind [Live version (a)]:
(From August 26 2002 version)
My body's telling me yes!
But my mind is telling me no!
I don't want to hurt nobody
There ain't nothin' wrong with a little bump n' grind
There ain't nothin' wrong with a little bump n' grind
There ain't nothin' wrong with a little bump n' grind
Bump n' grind in the cities and the street
Michael McDonald haircuts in the streets tonight
Ain't nothin' wrong with a little bump n' grind
Had a job working for the city in the week
Packed up my tools in my truck
And I headed out for the country
Killing lots of little animals with my big gun
Feeling free, feeling like a man should
In the weekend, ooh ooh
Ain't nothin' wrong
Sally was a little girl who was working on the east side
She had a haircut that she bought last Tuesday night
Holidays, working overtime at the pharmacy
Who cares? I'm gonna buy a greeting card from her
Ain't nothin' wrong with a little grind
I like to grind and then bump
But you can bump and grind, if you want!
The Song:On February 24 2002, Beck sang a medley of R Kelly songs. I'm not sure which ones, exactly.
However, a few months later, Beck improvised around R Kelly's "Bump N' Grind" during a little R&B medley at the end of "
Nicotine & Gravy" which also featured "
Hot in Herre" and "
Debra." He didn't really know the words, so he made up a lot of nonsense. :-)
Notes:
- Lyrics for R Kelly's original:
My mind is tellin me no but my body my body's tellin me yes
I (baby) don't want to hurt nobody
But there is something that I must confess... (chill)
{Chorus: repeat 4x}
I don't see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind
I don't see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind
See I know just what you want and I know just what you need girl
So baby bring your body to me (bring your body here)
I'm not fooling around with you baby
My love is true (with you) with you is where I want to be, girl see
I need someone someone like me to satisfy your every needs
{Chorus 4x}
You say he's not treating you right
Then lady spend the night now
I'll love you like you need to be love (girl why don't you try some of me)
No need to look no more because I've opened up in my door
You'll never feel another love you see
I need someone, someone like me girl to make love to you baby constanly
{Chorus 4x}
