Black Widow
AZALEA Iggy & ORA Rita Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm gonna love ya
Until you hate me
And I'm gonna show ya
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Than to mess with me honey
I'm gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Like a black widow, baby

This twisted cat and mouse game always starts the same
First we're both down to play then somehow you go astray
We went from nothing to something, liking to loving
It was us against the world, and now we just fucking
It's like I loved you so much, and now I just hate you
Feeling stupid for all the time that I gave you
I wanted all or nothing for us, ain't no place in between
By me believing what you say that you never mean
Like it'll last for ever but now forever ain't as long
If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be stuck singing this song
You were different from my last but now you got it mirrored
But as it all plays out I see it couldn't be clearer
Now sing

You used to be thirsty for me
But now you wanna be set free
This is the web, the web that you weave
So baby now rest in peace (It's all over with now)

I'm gonna love ya
Until you hate me
And I'm gonna show ya
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Than to mess with me honey
I'm gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Like a black widow, baby

I'm gonna love you until it hurts
Just to get you, I'm doing whatever works
You ain't never met nobody
That will do you how I do ya
That will bring you to your knees
Praise Jesus, hallelujah
Imma make you beg for it, plead for it
Till you feel like you breathe for it
Till you'll do any and everything for it
I want you to fiend for it
Wake up and dream for it
Till it's got you gasping for air And you lean forward
Till they have a CAT scan to check on your mind
And it's nothing but me on it
Now it's me time, believe that
If it's yours and you want it
I want it, promise I need that
Till I'm everywhere that you be at
I can't fall back, go quick
'Cause this here is fatal attraction
So I take it all or I don't want shit

You used to be thirsty for me
But now you wanna be set free
This is the web, the web that you weave
So baby now rest in peace (It's all over with now)

I'm gonna love ya
Until you hate me
And I'm gonna show ya
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Than to mess with me honey
I'm gonna love ya, gonna love ya




Gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Like a black widow, baby

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora's song "Black Widow" tell the story of a woman who has been wronged by a man, and is out for revenge. She will love him until he hates her, and will show him what it truly means to be crazy. The man should have known better than to mess with her, as she is going to love him like a black widow, a venomous spider known for consuming its mate after copulation.


The song takes the format of a twisted cat and mouse game, where both parties were down to play at the beginning, but the man somehow went astray. They went from nothing to something, from liking to loving, and it was once them against the world. However, now they are just… well, nothing, and the woman hates the man for being so stupid for all the time she gave him. She believes there is no place in between for them, and he had lied to her by telling her things he never meant. She is over it, but not before she makes him pay for his mistakes.


Overall, "Black Widow" is a song about the anger and revenge felt by a woman who has been wronged by a man. Through the lyrics, we see her determination to get even, and not let him get away with what he has done.


Line by Line Meaning

I'm gonna love ya
I'll show you love


Until you hate me
Until you turn on me


And I'm gonna show ya
I'll demonstrate


What's really crazy
What's truly insane


You should've known better
You ought to have been more wise


Than to mess with me honey
Than to engage with me, dear


I'm gonna love ya, gonna love ya
I'm going to love you


Gonna love ya, gonna love ya
I will love you


Like a black widow, baby
In the style of a black widow spider, dear


This twisted cat and mouse game always starts the same
Our game of chasing and evading one another is always the same


First we're both down to play then somehow you go astray
Initially, we are both willing participants in our game, but eventually you deviate from it


We went from nothing to something, liking to loving
Our relationship evolved from mere acquaintances to beloveds


It was us against the world, and now we just fucking
We were once a united front, but now we are estranged


It's like I loved you so much, and now I just hate you
It seems as though I used to adore you, but now I resent you


Feeling stupid for all the time that I gave you
I regret investing so much time in you


I wanted all or nothing for us, ain't no place in between
I desired a deep and complete love, with no middle ground


By me believing what you say that you never mean
I was foolish to place faith in your empty words


Like it'll last for ever but now forever ain't as long
I thought our love would endure forever, but now it seems fleeting


If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be stuck singing this song
I wouldn't be singing this song if it weren't for you causing me pain


You were different from my last but now you got it mirrored
You seemed distinct from my previous lover, but now you are just like them


But as it all plays out I see it couldn't be clearer
As events unfold, it becomes increasingly obvious


You used to be thirsty for me
You used to crave me


But now you wanna be set free
Now you desire to be released


This is the web, the web that you weave
This is your own trap


So baby now rest in peace (It's all over with now)
Now you can find serenity, as it's all ended now


I'm gonna love you until it hurts
I'll go to great lengths to show you affection


Just to get you, I'm doing whatever works
I'll do anything to secure your love


You ain't never met nobody
You've never encountered anyone


That will do you how I do ya
Who will treat you the way I do


That will bring you to your knees
Who will humble you


Praise Jesus, hallelujah
Hallelujah to God


Imma make you beg for it, plead for it
I'll make you yearn for it, supplicate for it


Till you feel like you breathe for it
To the point that you think it's essential for life


Till you'll do any and everything for it
Till you'll do whatever it takes to get it


I want you to fiend for it
I want you to crave it obsessively


Wake up and dream for it
Dream about it even when you're awake


Till it's got you gasping for air And you lean forward
Till it takes your breath away and makes you lean forward


Till they have a CAT scan to check on your mind
Till they need to examine your brain


And it's nothing but me on it
And it will reveal that I am all you can think about


Now it's me time, believe that
Now is the time for me, trust me on that


If it's yours and you want it
If it belongs to you and you desire it


I want it, promise I need that
I want it, I promise I require it


Till I'm everywhere that you be at
Till I'm present wherever you go


I can't fall back, go quick
I cannot pull back, advance rapidly


'Cause this here is fatal attraction
Because this is a dangerous pull


So I take it all or I don't want shit
So I'll either claim everything or nothing at all

LYRICSSSS !!!
I'm gonna love you, until you hate me
And I'm gonna show you, what's really crazy
You should've known better, than to mess with me harder
I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you
Gonna love you, gonna love you
Like a black widow, baby
This twisted cat and mouse game, always starts the same
First we're both down to play, then somehow you go astray
We went from nuttin' to somethin', likin' to lovin'
It was us against the world, and now we just fuckin'?
It's like I loved you so much that now I just hate you
Feelin' stupid for all the time that I gave you
I wanted all or nothin' for us, ain't no place in between
Might-might be me believing what you say that you'll never mean
Like it'll last forever, but now forever ain't as long
If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be stuck singing this song
You were different from my last, but now, you've got 'em mirrored
And as it all plays out I see it couldn't be clearer
Now sing...
You used to be, thirsty for me
But now you wanna be set free
This is the web, web that you weave
So, baby now rest in peace (it's all over with now)
I'm gonna love you, until you hate me (right)
And I'm gonna show you (show 'em what? Show 'em what?)
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Than to mess with me harder (it's all over with now)
I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you
Gonna love you, gonna love you
Like a black widow, baby
Black, black widow, baby
I'm gonna l-l-l-love you until it hurts
Just to get you I'm doin' whatever works
You had never meet nobody, that'll do ya how I do ya
That'll bring ya to your knees, praise Jesus, hallelujah
That'll make ya beg for it, plead for it
'Til you feel like you breathe for it
'Til you'd do any and every thing for it
I want you to fiend for it, wake up and dream for it
'Til it's got you gaspin' for air, and you lean forward
'Til you have a CAT scan to check on your mind
And there's nothing but me on it (on it, on it)
Now it's me time, believe that
If it's yours when you want it, I want it
Promise I need that
'Til I'm everywhere that you be at, I can't fall back or quit
'Cause this here a fatal attraction, so I take it all or I don't want sh-
You used to be, thirsty for me (right)
But now you wanna be set free
This is the web, web that you weave
So, baby now rest in peace (it's all over with now)
I'm gonna love you, until you hate me (right)
And I'm gonna show you (show 'em what? Show 'em what?)
What's really crazy
You should've known better, than to mess with me harder
I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you
Gonna love you, gonna love you
Like a black widow, baby
Bla-bla-black, black widow, baby
