Black Widow
Iggy Azalea /Rita Ora 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 song "Black Widow" by Iggy Azalea feat. Rita Ora is about a woman who is seeking revenge and taking control of a relationship that has gone wrong. The lyrics talk about how she is going to love her partner until he hates her, and how she is going to show him what's really crazy. The chorus compares her to a black widow spider, which is known for killing its male partner after mating with him.


The verses of the song describe how the relationship started out well, but then the partner went astray and the woman is now feeling hurt and betrayed. She is determined to make him pay for his actions, and is willing to do whatever it takes to get what she wants. The line "I'm gonna love you until it hurts" shows how she is willing to sacrifice her own well-being for the sake of revenge.


Overall, the song is about power and control in relationships, and how one person can use their emotions to manipulate and hurt another person.


Line by Line Meaning

I'm gonna love ya
I'm going to show you affection and attention


Until you hate me
Until your feelings towards me become negative


And I'm gonna show ya
I'm going to demonstrate something to you


What's really crazy
Something that is truly insane


You should've known better
You should have been aware of the consequences


Than to mess with me honey
Than to engage in any sort of relationship with me


Gonna love ya, gonna love ya
I'm going to love you repeatedly and consistently


Like a black widow, baby
Comparing myself to a black widow spider, known for killing their mates


This twisted cat and mouse game always starts the same
Our relationship is a pattern of chasing and running


First we're both down to play then somehow you go astray
At first, we are both interested and willing, but then you lose interest


We went from nothing to something, liking to loving
Our relationship progressed from being acquaintances to romantic partners


It was us against the world, and now we just fucking
We used to feel like we were fighting the world together, but now we are just having sex


It's like I loved you so much, and now I just hate you
My feelings towards you have drastically changed from love to hate


Feeling stupid for all the time that I gave you
Regretting all the time and energy spent on you


I wanted all or nothing for us, ain't no place in between
I desired a commitment from you and no middle ground


By me believing what you say that you never mean
I was naive to believe your insincere words


Like it'll last for ever but now forever ain't as long
I once thought our love would last forever, but now it seems short-lived


If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be stuck singing this song
Blaming the other person for the emotional pain and heartbreak experienced


You were different from my last but now you got it mirrored
Initially you seemed unique, but now you remind me of a past failed relationship


But as it all plays out I see it couldn't be clearer
As the situation unfolds, it became obvious that this relationship was doomed


Now sing
A command to continue singing the chorus


You used to be thirsty for me
You once had intense desire for me


But now you wanna be set free
Now you desire freedom and distance from me


This is the web, the web that you weave
This is the complicated trap you have created for yourself


So baby now rest in peace (It's all over with now)
Let go of the past and move on, it's over now


I'm gonna love you until it hurts
I will continue to love you even if it causes me pain


Just to get you, I'm doing whatever works
I will do whatever is necessary to have you


You ain't never met nobody
You have not encountered anyone like me


That will do you how I do ya
I will love you the way only I know how


That will bring you to your knees
I will have a significant emotional impact on you


Praise Jesus, hallelujah
An expression showing gratitude toward a higher power


Imma make you beg for it, plead for it
I will make you desperately and passionately desire me


Till you feel like you breathe for it
Until you need me to live


Till you'll do any and everything for it
Until you are willing to do anything to have me


I want you to fiend for it
I want you to crave and desire me obsessively


Wake up and dream for it
I want you to think about me day and night


Till it's got you gasping for air And you lean forward
To the point of struggling to breathe and being desperate for my attention


Till they have a CAT scan to check on your mind
To the point of needing medical attention to ensure your mental stability


And it's nothing but me on it
I am the only thing on your mind and in your thoughts


Now it's me time, believe that
This is my time to have you and I am determined to make it happen


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


I want it, promise I need that
I want it just as much as you do


Till I'm everywhere that you be at
Until I am present in every aspect of your life


I can't fall back, go quick
I cannot let go or move on quickly


'Cause this here is fatal attraction
Our relationship has become dangerously obsessive


So I take it all or I don't want shit
Either we have everything together or I do not want anything

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
