Kelis - Rumble Lyrics






It's the strangest thing
To have you back in my face
With all those years passed
I guess I just got used to my space

I don't know how to feel
This whole thing seems so surreal
So, you keep one foot out the door
I know I said, "Leave," but, baby, don't go

We got so much history
I hurt you, you hurt me
No, we don't need therapy
What I need is you to leave

And even though I know I'm right
Just like some lapse in my memory
You're back to me, hand on the door
I wanna yell, "Baby, don't go!"

I'm so glad you gave back my keys
Oh, I'm so glad you gave back my keys
Oh, I'm so glad you gave back my keys, my keys

You got so many issues
But I guess something's up with me too
I'm just fine by myself
But I don't know who's gonna help you

I'm not no secretary
I'm nobody's maître d'
But like a lapse in my memory
I wanna yell, oh, "Baby, don't go!"

Baby, don't go, baby, don't go
Baby, don't leave yet
Stay the night, baby
Don't go, baby, oh, hey, baby, don't, oh, baby, don't go

I'm so glad you gave back my keys
Oh, I'm so glad you gave back my keys
Oh, I'm so glad you gave back my keys, my keys

I'm so glad you gave back my keys
Oh, I'm so glad you gave back my keys
Oh, I'm so glad you gave back my keys, my keys

    I like the meaning behind the song, but I’m not feeling her new style! PLEASE collab with Pharrell again! Y’all have both moved on, so it should be strictly business! Her voice mixed with the Neptunes, and you’ve got a FORCE!!!!!

  2. C.... O....

    This song should be on TikTok.

    I LOVE HER !!!

  18. E.... S....

    this video (camera angle, scenery, boat, lake etc,... is actually about the Nazi gold, which was buried and hidden in Lake Troplitz in Poland. look up the documentaries about it. HISTORY IS COOL BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU INSIGHT. KNOW YOUR HISTORY

  19. Y.... S....

    E.... K....

    *😈👿🐾🐻🐾**📸*

  24. D.... E....

    The best voices veer towards asexuality in tone. Kelis has so much depth and on this track there are bits where she sounds quite masculine (so much so my wife asked me who that bloke was I was listening to) really like Kelis since I heard caught out there back in 99

  25. B.... W....

    Yes finally an artist that isn't naked and that showcases music creativity 😚

  26. Y.... A....

    so Kelis turned into a Country singer! fuck you NAS!

  27. T.... T....

    Am I the only one to hear "I'm so glad you keep the keys?" instead of "I'm so glad you gave back my keys"?

  28. J.... ....

    I really like this song. It stood out among a Playlist of funk soul rnb songs on Google play. Does anyone else think this sounds just like an old Sia song though?? I do. Weird.

  29. L.... V....

    Kelis is a goddess . Beautiful intelligent woman with the brains , self respect and bravery to tell PETA and that nasty bitch Ingrid Newkirk to stick it right up their butts for trying to shame her for eating meat and wearing leather .
    Added points for Kelis saying she would eat Pteradactyl if she could . She didn't let a bunch of media whores shamelessly bully her or put her down .

  30. A.... M....

    this sound is like old school R&B. Love it

  31. M.... L....

    This song is so good, maybe in my top 5 Kelis songs. Everything Kelis does is so ahead of its time. She is severely underrated.

    M.... L....

    I pray for the day mrs hill and kelis work together!

    M.... L....

    True....underrated Cus she didn't went further with the illuminati bs

    M.... L....

    agreed..

  32. P.... B....

    great song and funny clip,XxX

  33. E.... ....

    this is such an underrated song

  34. d.... b....

    pure genius. real artistry. beautiful

    d.... b....

    dillon brooks so true

  35. V.... A....

    Still love this song!

  36. h.... ....

    I love this song! Sometimes you deal with this in a relationship. Missing someone...yet valuing your own environment. This song is pretty deep.

  37. n.... ....

    Duck Dynasty wtf

  38. h.... ....

    great tune! cant agree with others, this video got stuck in my head in some awesome way. its great :D

  39. N.... ....

    Excuse me Kelis but this was my shit last year. Lol i sung this around the house all the time.

  40. E.... ....

    hold up isn't the chorus from her song with Breach entitled "Keys"?

  41. K.... p....

    LOVE :-*

  42. K.... C....

    it's so crazy knowing this is the same women who was willing to teach me how to use my milkshake to bring the boys to the yard :/

    K.... C....

    +Kyle Christen

    Just now finding out she put this out recently---I couldn't think of anything she'd put out in the last decade---cool to see she still back in the musical game,with her unique,weir and quirky self.

  43. K.... ....

    Oh dear.. this is..  typical. =-\
    I have seen many artists do this. Their original material is home made, fresh, has an edge & is kinda rough around the edges. Then they get comfortable in their success..  & that comfort replaces the driving passion & the arrogance of youth. And when they return, all I hear is this super-expensive polished top-end studio sound. The same sound as Daft Punk's last album. Coldplay. The Streets. And many more.
    I feel like I'm listening to a product, instead of art. Sorry. It just doesn't do it for me.

    K.... ....

    +KINDLE I couldn't really disagree more; what I like about Kelis is that she's never really given a shit about sticking to a single genre or sound just for artificial 'constitency', and Food is one long love-letter to classic motown and R&B, it's familiar and intimate; where Fleshtone is a vodka and lemon at the edge of a dancefloor (and your best friend who makes sure you get home again) Food is a big filling carby meal at the end of a long week with some red wine. The sound is lush and layered and folded together for a reason, because it evokes big band numbers and a marriage of pop and instrumental.

    I think that concluding that Kelis has wandered away from her artistry misses the thing I like most about Kelis - that each new album is a different aspect of her personality, from Kaleidoscope's brash challenger to Food's reminiscer, who takes comfort and style from the music of her childhood. Food isn't Kaleidoscope or Fleshtone and it shouldn't be.

    K.... ....

    @Alex S
    I was merely talking about "how" it was recorded, not "what" was recorded. Unless you've studied music production for 5+ years, this stuff would only bore you! lol

    K.... ....

    So you're upset that the song was well mixed 🤔 Tf

    K.... ....

    @Javan uHnah
    It wasn't well mixed. That's my point. People fail to recognise how many times Teen Spirit was mixed to take away the clean sterile sound of expensive equipment of a major corporate label. Or how painstakingly long it took to record & mix Bohemian Rhapsody for it's punctuating lofty bass lines & clipped Drum fills. Or the punctilious detail found within Tear Drop for an infinite level of depth.

    All the greats are heterogeneous.
    This just sounds servile & straight forward.

    K.... ....

    +Alex S verry well said!!!

  44. S.... ....

    Just realized I love all off your songs that have a video. I just need a visual! lol

  45. R.... A....

    Ahhh Kelis your voice is so mesmerizing..

  46. T.... ....

    Like this song

  47. R.... L....

    Cool song, but boring video!

  48. s.... ....

    video sucks

  49. d.... ....

    Good song and I like the voice.  But I don't get what the video has to do with the song.

  50. J.... C....

    I did not like it :(

  51. T.... I....

    frikken good

  52. J.... M....

    GOOD! MUSIC GREAT :D

  53. p.... z....

    I wish she was gay, or at least bisexual

    p.... z....

    Why? Like every other person now a days is, lol.

    p.... z....

    @M0N3t7 Cause I don't care about every other person, I like her. And it's not really a "nowadays" type thing, it's more like a "the amount of people that are gay now have been gay since forever but since homosexuality is becoming more accepted, people can openly be out of the closet" type thing

    p.... z....

    @Love2The9s I know & I like I said, basically every other person is...lol. I used to idolize her a lot to (for unique image & music), even if she wasn't hetero are you on her level or confident enough to get with her?

    p.... z....

    @M0N3t7 You think I'm saying I want to date her... That would be nice, but that's what daydreams are for. I'd just like to see her date a girl, I think it would be cute. I'm not saying anything is wrong with her current marriage to a guy or anything. Just the idea would be cute imo

    p.... z....

    Why want something homosexuals say is so hard for someone else? This comment is ridiculously selfish. Someone has to be like you .. so.much for that "tolerance" CRAP
    I'll never understand how folks gauge themselves by what they do intimately..weird 😑😵

  54. H.... D....

    Nada que ver con el Pop insipido actual, Kelis es una de las mejores artistas femeninas actuales...lastima que no reciba el reconocimiento que se merece.

  55. H.... .....

    Hey people! I posted something about Kelis on my blog recently! Come, check it out! I have just started and the beginnings are hard!

  56. s.... ....

    Aside from how fucking brilliant this is, where the hell is this wonderful lake? I want to go here.

  57. M.... ....

    Interesting video

  58. r.... s....

    Je l'ai Bcp entendu sur Jazz Radio . J'adore !

  59. R.... T....

    The atmosphere reminds me of Bjork's wanderlust a little bit :)

  60. N.... D....

    Sounds like the black keys.

  61. S.... F....

    I love thid video!!! Love the idea!!!

  62. s.... ....

    I've never loved anyone with a terrible voice like I love Kelis.  Her singing voice is atrocious, but I still cannot help but be in her fan club.  Don't know what it is about her, I just love her.

    s.... ....

    Really! I love the raspiness!

    s.... ....

    It's not terrible. Just because she's not a powerhouse singer doesn't mean her voice is bad. Her voice is very soulful and unique. Raw & raspy. 

  63. B.... O....

    First time I heard of Kelis. She has a beautiful voice.

  64. a.... l....

    thnks for your music

  65. J.... R....

    Kelis became a hipster. This is so sad :(

  66. G.... D....

    I personally enjoyed this video. This song doesn't require flashy imagery. Just a great surreal scenery with subtle additions. Looks like a painting come to life!

  67. Y.... ....

    Excellent my sister loves this song!!!!!

  68. P.... ....

    Kelis, I hear this song on the radio all the time. I'm glad to hear your music again! Love it. Also I found out that you are a chef! You are a woman of many talents.

  69. R.... M....

    That was great. Loved the song for a while, enjoyed the video, too. Crazy trumpet dude made it.

  70. S.... ....
