Heavy
Beyonce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got so heavy, baby
Heavy, heavy
You got so heavy on me
You used to be
So light and free
You used to smile just looking at me
Is jealous hate
C'mon, baby baby, loose some weight
Heavy, heavy
You got so heavy, baby (yeah, yeah)
Heavy, heavy
You got so heavy on me
Heavy, heavy
You got so heavy, baby (yeah, yeah)
Heavy, heavy
You got so heavy on me
You used to want
Nothing from me
You used to say, "Let's both be free"
You used to dance
Instead of walk
You never had to talk, talk, talk
Heavy, heavy (talk, talk, talk)
You got so heavy baby (talk, talk, talk)
Heavy, heavy (talk, talk, talk)
Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy
The lyrics to Beyoncé's song Heavy seem to be speaking to a partner who has developed feelings of jealousy and possessiveness, ultimately resulting in a heavy emotional burden on the other person in the relationship. The song appears to be a call for this partner to take responsibility for their behavior and work towards resolving the issue. The lines "You used to be so light and free" and "You used to smile just looking at me" suggest that this person was once carefree and happy before these negative emotions took over. Beyoncé then pleads with them to "loose some weight", implying that they need to shed the emotional weight they are carrying in order to regain their former selves and heal the relationship.
Overall, the lyrics touch on themes of emotional burden, jealousy, and the desire for freedom and happiness in relationships. It can be interpreted as a message of hope, as Beyoncé is urging her partner to take steps towards resolving their issues and reclaiming the lightness and joy that they once had in their relationship.
