Black Widow
Black Widow (feat. Rita Ora) - Iggy Azalea - Iggy Azalea Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm gonna love you
Until you hate me
And I'm gonna show you
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Then to mess with me, heartache
I'm gonna lie to you, I'm gonna lie to you
Gonna lie to you, gonna lie to 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 nothing to something liking to loving
It was us against the world 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 was different from my last but now you got a mirror
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 you
Until you hate me
And I'm gonna show you
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Then to mess with me, heartache
I'm gonna lie to you, I'm gonna lie to you
Gonna lie to you, gonna lie to you
Like a black widow, baby

I'm gonna love you until it hurts
Just to get you I'm doing whatever works
You'd have 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 breath for it
Till you 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 leave for it
Til then having kids, can check on your mind
And there's nothing but me on it
Now it's me time believe that
If it's yours when you want it
I wouldn't 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 you
Until you hate me
And I'm gonna show you
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Then to mess with me, heartache
I'm gonna lie to you, I'm gonna lie to you




Gonna lie to you, gonna lie to you
Like a black widow, baby

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Iggy Azaleaโ€™s song Black Widow featuring Rita Ora tell a story of a toxic, manipulative relationship. The singer is seeking revenge on her partner who has hurt her by lying and cheating, making her love him until he hates her, and showing him what's really crazy. The lyrics suggest that the partner should have known better than to mess with the singer because she is like a black widow, which is known for being a venomous, predatory spider that kills and eats its mate.


The singer describes the relationship as a twisted cat and mouse game, starting with both of them down to play until he goes astray. They went from nothing to something, liking to loving, but now it's just the two of them. The singer feels stupid for the time she gave him and how much she loved him, and now she hates him. She sings about wanting all or nothing and there being no place in between. The singer is going to make him pay for what he's done and make him beg and plead for her love until he feels like he can't live without it.


The song's overall message, therefore, is to stand up for oneself and to not let anyone take advantage of, manipulate, or hurt them in a relationship. It also illustrates how love can turn into hate and can make one do things they didn't imagine.


Line by Line Meaning

I'm gonna love you
I am going to pretend to love you


Until you hate me
Until you feel extreme anger towards me


And I'm gonna show you
I am going to expose to you


What's really crazy
The insane truth


You should've known better
You ought to have been aware


Then to mess with me, heartache
Than to involve yourself with me and experience emotional pain


I'm gonna lie to you, I'm gonna lie to you
I will deceive you repeatedly


Gonna lie to you, gonna lie to you
I will keep lying to you


Like a black widow, baby
Like a dangerous female spider that kills her mate after sex


This twisted cat and mouse game always starts the same
Our contentious relationship always follows the same pattern


First we're both down to play then somehow you go astray
Initially we are both content to participate until you lose your focus


We went from nothing to something liking to loving
We progressed from having nothing to having a relationship


It was us against the world now we just fucking
It was just you and me against everyone, but now we are only casually sleeping together


It's like I loved you so much and now I just hate you
It's as if my love turned into hatred for you


Feeling stupid for all the time that I gave you
I feel foolish for the time I spent on you


I wanted all or nothing for us ain't no place in between
I desired all or nothing for our relationship with no middle ground


By me believing what you say that you never mean
I was fooled into thinking you were sincere when you never actually meant what you said


Like It'll last for ever but now forever ain't as long
I thought we would be together forever, but now that seems unlikely


If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be stuck singing this song
You are the reason I am singing this song about our relationship


You was different from my last but now you got a mirror
You were distinct from my previous partner, but now you remind me of them


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


Now sing
Now sing the chorus


You used to be thirsty for me
You used to be eager for me


But now you wanna be set free
But now you want to be released from me


This is the web, the web that you weave
This is the trap that you created


So baby now rest in peace (It's all over with now)
So now rest in peace and accept that it's all over now


I'm gonna love you until it hurts
I am going to pretend to love you even if it hurts me


Just to get you I'm doing whatever works
I will do anything just to obtain you


You'd have never met nobody
You have never met someone


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 cause you to submit to them


Praise Jesus hallelujah
An expression of joy and celebration


Imma make you beg for it, plead for it
I will make you implore me for satisfaction


Till you feel like you breath for it
Until you feel like you can't survive without it


Till you do any and everything for it
Until you do anything and everything to obtain it


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


Wake up and dream for it
I want you to literally dream about it when you sleep


Till it's got you gasping for air
Until you are struggling to breathe


And you leave for it
And you will willingly leave for it


Til then having kids, can check on your mind
Until then, having children can occupy your thoughts


And there's nothing but me on it
And all you can think about is me


Now it's me time believe that
Now it's time for me to be the focus


If it's yours when you want it
If you can have it whenever you wish


I wouldn't promise I need that
I wouldn't make promises about that


Till I'm everywhere that you be at
Until I am present everywhere you go


I can't fall back go quick
I can't relax and must keep going quickly


'Cause this here is fatal attraction so I take it all or I don't want shit
This is a dangerous situation, so I either take 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
