I Hate That You Love Me
Diddy - Dirty Money Lyrics

Yeah,
Introducing the song on a positive note.

Yo turn the piano up
Asking for the adjustment of the music volume (instrument) to set the mood.

Can you feel it
Asking for the listener's attention and engagement in the emotions expressed in the music.

Yeah like that
Expressing satisfaction with the current musical ambiance.

This the way love feels
The melody captures the essence and complexities of romantic love.

Yo check it
Asking for the listener's full comprehension of the song's message.

Are we living in vain,
Questioning the meaningfulness of life and love.

Are we living in pain
Wondering if love brings more pain than joy.

Girl remember my name (remember my name)
Asking for recognition and significance in the partner's life.

And whatever remains
Acknowledging that nothing lasts forever.

After we walk on white sand
Referencing a romantic trope of a walk on the beach with one's significant other.

Lets travel in style
Aspiring toward luxurious travels and experiences together.

Just want to see you happy and smiling
Altruistic desire to make the partner feel fulfilled and joyful in the relationship.

I can change your life in one flight,
Offering to elevate the partner's lifestyle and experiences through shared travel.

Lets take off tonight, come on
Suggesting a spur-of-the-moment trip together.

We go,
The ups and downs of a romantic relationship.

We go down
The instability of the aforementioned relationship.

Love is in,
The presence of love in the relationship.

Then its out
The absence of love in the relationship.

We can tell,
Awareness of the status of the relationship.

Tell by now
The relationship's trajectory is becoming increasingly clear.

If it wont, work out
Doubts about the relationship's viability.

Lets not forget
Referencing a shared past.

Back in Brooklyn
Reference to a shared origin or hometown.

Where the future
The departure point for their shared journey.

First began
The origin of the relationship.

Lets start again
Aspiration to start over with a renewed sense of purpose.

Cant be over
Refusal to accept the end of the relationship.

That's what I told her
Affirming the refusal to give up on the relationship.

And then she said
Introducing a response from the partner.

I hate that you love me
Acknowledgment of the partner's love and the subsequent difficulties it poses.

So much boy
Emphasizing the intensity of the aforementioned difficulties.

One time is enough for me
Reflecting on the ups and downs of the relationship and acknowledging that doing it all over again may not be worth it.

Close your eyes, there's much to see
Encouraging the partner to relax and enjoy the present moment, despite the difficulties of the relationship.

So lets jump and both touch the clouds, and we never come down
Metaphorically suggesting a grand, never-ending romantic adventure.

Its amazing the view here
Expressing gratitude for the beauty of the relationship, despite the challenges.

On top of the world where even the air is all brand new here
Further emphasizing the exhilarating nature of the relationship.

Fireworks like new years
Metaphorically likening the passion in the relationship to a celebratory fireworks display on New Year's Eve.

Hurt is old news, why would you shed new tears
Rejecting the idea that ongoing pain is necessary in the relationship.

How can you
Questioning the partner's commitment to the relationship.

Trust in love
Challenging the notion that love is inherently trustworthy.

When our time
Mulling over the finite nature of the relationship.

Our time is up
Acknowledging that the relationship may be nearing its end.

If I leave
Possible contingency plan for the partner's exit from the relationship.

Will you
Asking whether the partner will persevere in the relationship.

Walk away
Potential act of ending the relationship.

From the truth
Refusing to accept the validity of the end of the relationship.

Things I know now, don't allow me to turn back
Acknowledging personal growth and admitting that there is no return to a previous state.

We been through it all but now I just want my heart back
Expressing a longing for emotional closure after a tumultuous relationship.

And I could walk away but see your love is my weakness
Admitting the inherent vulnerability in romantic love.

Oh it could be pointless to try and walk away, that's why
Acknowledging the strength of attachment to the partner, despite the difficulties.

I hate that you love me
Reemphasizing that the partner's love is both alluring and painful.

So much boy
Highlighting the depth of that mixed emotion.

I hate that you hurt me
Admitting the negativity inherent in the ups and downs of the relationship.

So much boy
Reiterating the dual nature of emotions in the relationship.

I hate that you love me
A dichotomy of longing and anxiety regarding the partner's love.

So much boy
Expressing the weight of that dichotomy.

I hate that you hurt me
Still grieving the partner's actions that have caused pain in the relationship.

So much boy
The continuing weight of those past wounds.

I hate that you love me
Acknowledging the difficulties and uncertainties inherent in the complexity of romantic relationships.

That I love
Confirming the emotional commitment to the partner regardless of the difficulties.

Cause I know how to love
Asserting personal confidence in the ability to show love despite previous difficulties.

You hate better hurt
Emphasizing that if pain is to emerge from the relationship, it is preferred that this pain is caused by the singer rather than by the partner.

Cause you hurt me
Attributing past pain to the partner.

You hate better love
Asserting that while the partner may have caused pain in the past, it is preferred that love remain the focus of the future relationship.

Cause I hate better love
Confirming that the singer's love and commitment to the partner wins out, even in the face of past pain.

You hate better hurt
Again acknowledging that pain may result from the relationship.

Cause you hurt me
Reiterating the source of past pain in the relationship.
