Lust
Ivy Alex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pullin me down calling me baby
You know that I’m worth
More than your words
Drivin me crazy
I’ve found another place in my heart
A new chapter to start
You’re in then you’re out
Tied up in lust
Don’t think I can trust being your lady
How could I forget
You gave me head expecting nothing
Lucky me, I swear I didn’t try to lead you on
But you know what you want
And that’s what I want
You turned me back on
You’re in then you’re out
And you were so down to be my baby
Tied up in lust
Don’t think I can trust being your lady
I’ve been at it so long
Busy making memories
I’ve cried laughed and sung
Follow me down this brick road
And you’ll know
Life’s been like a movie so far
I have no complaints
Only that you should’ve stayed boy
But no trouble here and no regrets with you
Maybe in another life
You’ll love me too
You’re in then you’re out
And you were so down to be my baby
Tied up in lust
Don’t think I can trust being your lady
Or maybe
The lyrics to Ivy Alex's song Lust depict a woman who is tired of being treated as an object of lust by a man who doesn't value her worth as a person and only sees her as a sexual conquest. The woman describes how the man tries to pull her down and make her feel inferior with his empty words, driving her crazy. However, she has found a new place in her heart and is ready to start a new chapter in her life. The woman realizes that she cannot trust the man's intentions, as he is only interested in fulfilling his physical desires and not in building a meaningful relationship.
The woman reflects on the time she spent with the man and acknowledges that he only wanted her for her body, as evidenced by the fact that he gave her pleasure without expecting anything in return. While she did not intend to lead him on, she understands that he knows what he wants, just like she knows what she wants. She no longer wishes to be tied up in lust with the man, as she cannot trust him to be a supportive partner in her life.
The final verse of the song suggests that despite the hardships and challenges she has faced, the woman has no regrets and is content with her life. She wishes the man had stayed with her, but she has no trouble or regrets with him. The song ends with the possibility of a future life where the man might love her in a way that she deserves.

Quit hangin around
Stop lingering and being a burden to me
Pullin me down calling me baby
Causing me stress and acting overly affectionate towards me
You know that I’m worth
Acknowledging my value and self-worth
More than your words
Words alone are not enough to prove your love and commitment
Drivin me crazy
Causing me frustration and emotional turmoil
I’ve found another place in my heart
I have moved on emotionally and have found someone else to love
A new chapter to start
Starting fresh and leaving the past behind
You’re in then you’re out
Your feelings and loyalty towards me are inconsistent
And you were so down to be my baby
You were eager to commit to a relationship with me
Tied up in lust
You were only interested in me physically and not emotionally
Don’t think I can trust being your lady
I cannot trust that you will be faithful and loyal in a relationship
How could I forget
I cannot forget
You gave me head expecting nothing
You performed oral sex on me without expecting anything in return
Lucky me, I swear I didn’t try to lead you on
I feel fortunate that I did not intentionally make you believe that I wanted a relationship
But you know what you want
You are clear about your desires and intentions
And that’s what I want
I too want someone who knows what they want and is committed to it
You turned me back on
You rejected my advances and moved on
I’ve been at it so long
I have been in the dating game for a long time
Busy making memories
Focused on creating positive experiences and memories with others
I’ve cried laughed and sung
I have experienced a range of emotions during my romantic pursuits
Follow me down this brick road
Join me on this journey towards love and happiness
And you’ll know
You will understand
Life’s been like a movie so far
My life has been full of dramatic and exciting moments
I have no complaints
I am content with where I am in life
Only that you should’ve stayed boy
I wish you had stayed and been more committed to me
But no trouble here and no regrets with you
I have no ill will towards you and do not regret our past interactions
Maybe in another life
Perhaps in a different time or place
You’ll love me too
You may develop feelings for me in the future
Or maybe
On the other hand

I Like it. Darrell and family moved to Ohio. Missing them already. Oscar Pratt directing AACCFE now at Transfiguration church, now.
Consider music with obvious deeper, more personal meaning to YOU. Wishing you well for the choir.
