Lovely
John West Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The best nights are the simpliest
Red wine, nude lips and a simple kiss
Yeah, let's test the waters
Love makes a splash
And you too thick to skinny dip
Blinds close as the time goes
The room's pitch black we in a blindfold
Handy when it's this late
Hit the snooze button
You takin' a sick day
Only been like eight days
All I ask is that you'll stay
So many songs you could inspire
Bring strong men to their knees and
This is the summer season
Don't know how I could get much higher
But I gotta tell you
It's alright
Whenever you're near me
I don't need to hide
Yet I'm feelin helpless
I, I don't need it
I feel like I'm in love 'least
That's the way I see it
But it's like
Ooh bada ba badu ba
It's like, it's like
Ooh bada ba badu ba
But we don't need no words
It's like
Ooh bada ba badu ba
Everytime it's just like
Oh whoa oh oh
'cause when you look my way I
don't know what to say I
Haven't felt this in such a long time
You know it
So good when you're beside me
Arms feel right wrapped round my body
Feel like I could be anywhere
Pusha T:
Yes
Tryin' to get my mind right
Juggling my time right
Weekend getaways
Ducking out the limelight
It's kinda
Hard when you live under the spotlight
Chauffeured
Through the city like it's prom night
I'm the talk you the walk of it
Rumor mill? We the bulk of it
They find fault with it
Haters green like the Hulk with it
Dirty money? Got a vault of it.
In John West's song "Lovely," he sings about the beauty and simplicity of love. The first verse is sung by rapper Pusha T, who describes a perfect night with his significant other. This night is filled with the simplest pleasures, such as red wine and a simple kiss. Pusha T also mentions how love makes a splash and how his partner is too thick to skinny dip. The couple spends the night in Pitch Black, while a blindfold lies on their eyes. Pusha T also mentions how his overnight bag is handy when it's late, meaning that he doesn't have to leave his partner's side.
The chorus of the song goes on to describe how Lovely makes John West feel whenever she is around him. He doesn't need to hide anything or feel helpless, and he feels like he is in love. The chorus is catchy, and it's relatable because many people have probably experienced that feeling of helplessness when they are in love. John West sings that he doesn't know what to say when Lovely looks his way and how he hasn't felt so good in a long time.
In the second verse, Pusha T says that he is trying to get his mind right and juggle his time right. He explains how weekends with Lovely are his escape from the demanding life of a star. He mentions how it can be hard living under the spotlight, which is relatable for any public figure. The verse ends with Pusha T stating that he and Lovely are at the center of the rumor mill, but he has nothing to worry about because he has a vault full of dirty money. The song ends with the chorus, which emphasizes the happiness that Lovely brings to John West's life.

Through the city like it's prom night
We're riding through town in style
I'm the talk you the walk of it
People gossip about me, but you're the reason behind my happiness
Rumor mill? We the bulk of it
Most rumors are about us
They find fault with it
People like to criticize our relationship
Haters green like the Hulk with it
Our haters are envious of our love
Dirty money? Got a vault of it.
I'm wealthy, but money can't buy the happiness that I get from being with you
