Beth Hart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone to be my master
I'm looking for a grave maker
A lady killer soul shaker
It's not that I wanna die
Dying's a slow way to live
Just wanna choke on his tie
Ain't nobody's gonna love you like I do
Ain't nobody gonna ever love you
Like I do
I want him bad as they come
Easy is easier for some
I'm in the mood for some fun
Until the damage is done
I want him hard as he came
Wearing a bone for a cane
Nobody dares to complain
He owns your soul and your name
Ain't nobody gonna love you like I do
Ain't nobody gonna ever love you
Ain't nobody gonna love you like I do
Like I do
Make him criminal
Evil beautiful
I can hear disaster calling
Innocence with fall
Mother's broken doll
I can hear disaster calling baby
I can hear you master calling me tonight
Love gangster
Ain't nobody gonna love you like I do
Ain't nobody gonna ever love you
Ain't nobody gonna love you like I do
Like I do
The lyrics to Beth Hart's song "Love Gangster" paint a vivid picture of the singer's desire for a passionate and intense love affair. The use of provocative imagery and metaphorical language creates a sense of longing and danger. The singer yearns for a partner who embodies the qualities of a "love gangster" - someone who is bold, confident, and unapologetic in their pursuit of love. They want someone who can take control and dominate, bringing excitement and intensity to their life. The repeated phrases "Ain't nobody gonna love you like I do" emphasize the singer's belief that their love is unique and unrivaled.
The lyrics also convey a certain sense of self-destructiveness and a willingness to be consumed by this intense love. The line "It's not that I wanna die, dying's a slow way to live" suggests that the singer is not seeking a literal death, but rather a love that pushes them to their limits and makes them feel alive. The desire to "choke on his tie" and be "one sip away from the give" further illustrates their craving for a love that borders on reckless and potentially destructive.

I'm looking for a love gangster
I seek a partner who exudes a tough, rebellious love
Someone to be my master
Someone who dominates and controls me in a passionate way
I'm looking for a grave maker
I desire a person who brings both pleasure and destruction to my life
A lady killer soul shaker
A charming seducer who stirs my innermost emotions
It's not that I wanna die
I don't long for literal death
Dying's a slow way to live
Living a mundane existence feels like a slow death
Just wanna choke on his tie
I crave the intensity and closeness that comes from surrendering to his power
One sip away from the give
One moment away from completely surrendering to his influence
I want him bad as they come
My desire for him is fierce and intense
Easy is easier for some
For others, easily attainable love is simpler and more comfortable
I'm in the mood for some fun
I'm ready to embrace excitement and pleasure
Until the damage is done
However, I am aware that consequences and heartbreak may follow
I want him hard as he came
I desire him with the same intensity and power with which he first appeared
Wearing a bone for a cane
Displaying a captivating and menacing presence
Nobody dares to complain
No one is courageous enough to voice dissatisfaction in the face of such dominance
He owns your soul and your name
He possesses not only your body but also your very essence and identity
Make him criminal
Portray him as rebellious and illicit
Evil beautiful
His dark and captivating nature makes him irresistible
I can hear disaster calling
I sense the impending chaos and turmoil that will come from this connection
Innocence with fall
My innocence will inevitably crumble
Mother's broken doll
I will be left damaged and broken like a discarded toy
I can hear disaster calling baby
I feel the allure of calamity in a powerful way
I can hear you master calling me tonight
I sense your commanding presence beckoning me towards you tonight
Love gangster
You are the embodiment of a rebellious and addictive love
Ain't nobody gonna love you like I do
No one else can love you with the same intensity and devotion as I do
Like I do
My love for you is unique and incomparable
