Black Widow
Iggy Azalea - Rita Ora 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 harder
I'm gonna love ya, I'm 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 nothin' to somethin', likin' to lovin'
It was us against the world and now we just fuckin'
It's like I loved you so much and 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 believin' what you say that you 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 singin' this song
You were different from my last but now you got a mirror
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
Then to mess with me harder (it's all over with now)
I'm gonna love ya, I'm gonna love ya
Gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Like a black widow, baby

(Black, black widow, baby)
I'm gonna lo-lo-lo-love you until it hurts
Just to get you I'm doin' whatever works
You ain't never met nobody
That'll do you how I do ya
That'll bring you to your knees
Praise, Jesus, hallelujah
I'ma make you beg for it, plead for it
'Til you feel like you breath for it
'Til you do any and everythin' 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 they have a CAT scan to check on your mind
And it's nothin' 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 is fatal attraction
So I take it all or I don't want shh

You used to be thirsty for me (right)
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 (right)
And I'm gonna show you (show 'em what? Show 'em what?)
What's really crazy (woah)
You should've known better
Then to mess with me harder
I'm gonna love ya, I'm gonna love ya
Gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Like a black widow, baby





Black, black, black, black widow, baby

Line by Line Meaning

I'm gonna love you
I'm going to convince you that I love you


Until you hate me
Until you realize that I don't actually love you


And I'm gonna show you
I'll prove it to you


What's really crazy
That I'm manipulating you


You should've known better
You should've recognized the warning signs


Then to mess with me, heartache
Than to get involved with me and end up heartbroken


I'm gonna lie to you, I'm gonna lie to you
I'm going to deceive you, over and over again


Gonna lie to you, gonna lie to you
And keep lying to you


Like a black widow, baby
Like a spider that kills its mate


This twisted cat and mouse game always starts the same
This manipulative game always begins the same way


First we're both down to play then somehow you go astray
At first we're both interested, but then something goes wrong


We went from nothing to something liking to loving
We went from strangers to lovers


It was us against the world now we just fucking
We were a team, now we're just having sex


It's like I loved you so much and now I just hate you
I used to have strong feelings for you, now I feel the opposite


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


I wanted all or nothing for us ain't no place in between
I wanted a serious relationship or nothing at all


By me believing what you say that you never mean
I foolishly believed your empty promises


Like It'll last for ever but now forever ain't as long
I thought our love would last forever, but now it's clear that it won't


If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be stuck singing this song
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have this painful reminder of our failed relationship


You was different from my last but now you got a mirror
You seemed different from my ex, but now I see that you're the same


But as it all plays out I see it couldn't be clearer
As time goes on, it becomes more and more obvious


Now sing
Now let me tell you what's going to happen next


You used to be thirsty for me
You used to desire and pursue me


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


This is the web, the web that you weave
This is the trap that you've created for yourself


So baby now rest in peace (It's all over with now)
So now you can move on from our toxic relationship


I'm gonna love you until it hurts
I'm going to love you so intensely that it will be painful


Just to get you I'm doing whatever works
I'll do whatever it takes to win you over


You'd have never met nobody
You have never met anyone


That will do you how I do ya
Who will love you the way I do


That will bring you to your knees
Who will have such power over you


Praise Jesus hallelujah
Holy shit, you're going to be obsessed with me


Imma make you beg for it, plead for it
I'll make it impossible for you to resist me


Till you feel like you breath for it
You'll be so consumed by desire that you can't breathe


Till you do any and everything for it
You'll do anything to have me


I want you to fiend for it
I want you to become addicted to me


Wake up and dream for it
You'll dream about being with me


Till it's got you gasping for air
You'll be so overwhelmed with desire that you can hardly breathe


And you leave for it
And you'll never be able to escape me


Til then having kids, can check on your mind
Until then, you'll be too busy thinking about me to even consider having children


And there's nothing but me on it
And I'll be the only thing on your mind


Now it's me time believe that
Now it's time for me to take control


If it's yours when you want it
If you want me, I'm yours


I wouldn't promise I need that
I won't make any promises


Till I'm everywhere that you be at
Until I'm always around you


I can't fall back go quick
I can't slow down or back off


'Cause this here is fatal attraction so I take it all or I don't want shit
Because this is an all-consuming, dangerous love, so I'm either all in 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
