About Bumped

"Bumped" is a song by English pop group Right Said Fred released as the first single off their album Sex and Travel. Bumped was notable for its commercial underperformance considering the group's previous success; in August 2001, ex manager Guy Holmes noted on the BBC retrospective documentary I Love 1991 that over £100,000 was spent on the Wayne Isham directed music video to make up for the fact that "the record wasn't really very good".

All I needed was your love
Even now it's obvious
All I needed was a turtle dove to make it right
Chattanooga, Tennessee
One night on a Tuesday
Friday Sunset Babylon
I bumped in to you
Grabbed the first cab that I saw
But lost my destination
Looking at deserted streets
I bumped in to you

All I needed was your love
Even now it's obvious
All I needed was a turtle dove to make it right
All I needed was your touch
Closer now be obvious
All I needed was a gentle push to paradise

Saturday in Timbuktu
Monday in Bulawayo
Slow boat takes me to Kowloon
I bumped in to you
Sailing down the Amazon
Even up the Nile
Late night bars in Buffalo
I bumped in to you

All I needed was your love
Even now it's obvious
All I needed was a turtle dove to make it right
All I needed was your touch
Closer now be obvious
All I needed was a gentle push to paradise

All I needed was your love
Even now it's obvious
All I needed was a turtle dove to make it right
All I needed was your touch
Closer now be obvious
All I needed was a gentle push to paradise

All I needed
All I needed was your love
All I needed
All I needed was your love

Saturday in Tumbuktu
Monday Bulawayo
Got a sense of deja-vu
Oh

All I needed was your love
Even now it's obvious
All I needed was a turtle dove to make it right
All I needed was your touch
Closer now be obvious
All I needed was a gentle push to paradise

All I needed
All I needed was your love

All I needed was your love
Even now it's obvious
All I needed was a turtle dove to make it right
