Uh huh, let's rage
I knew you were
You were gonna come to me
But you better choose carefully
'Cause I, I'm capable of anything
Of anything and everything
Make me your Aphrodite
Make me your one and only
But don't make me your enemy (enemy)
Your enemy (your enemy), your enemy
So you wanna play with magic?
Boy, you should know what you're fallin' for
Baby, do you dare to do this?
'Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horse (hey)
Are you ready for, ready for (hey)
A perfect storm, perfect storm? (Hey, hey)
'Cause once you're mine, once you're mine (hey, hey, hey, hey)
(There's no going back)
Mark my words
This love will make you levitate
Like a bird, like a bird without a cage
But down to earth
If you choose to walk away, don't walk away
It's in the palm of your hand now, baby
It's a yes or a no, no maybe
So just be sure before you give it all to me
All to me, give it all to me
So you wanna play with magic?
Boy, you should know what you're fallin' for
Baby, do you dare to do this?
'Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horse (hey)
Are you ready for, ready for (hey)
A perfect storm, perfect storm? (Hey, hey)
'Cause once you're mine, once you're mine (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Yup (Trippy)
(There's no going back)
Uh, she's a beast
I call her Karma (come back)
She eat your heart out like Jeffrey Dahmer (woo)
Be careful, try not to lead her on
Shawty heart is on steroids
'Cause her love is so strong
You might fall in love when you meet her (meet her)
If you get the chance, you better keep her (keep her)
She's sweet as pie, but if you break her heart
She turn cold as a freezer (freezer)
That fairy tale ending with a knight in shining armor
She can be my Sleeping Beauty
I'm gon' put her in a coma (woo)
Damn, I think I love her
Shawty so bad, I'm sprung and I don't care
She ride me like a roller coaster
Turn the bedroom into a fair (a fair)
Her love is like a drug
I was tryna hit it and quit it
But lil' mama so dope
I messed around and got addicted
So you wanna play with magic?
Boy, you should know what you're fallin' for (you should know)
Baby, do you dare to do this?
'Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horse (like a dark horse)
Are you ready for, ready for (ready for)
A perfect storm, perfect storm? (A perfect storm)
'Cause once you're mine, once you're mine (oh)
(There's no going back)
The song "Dark Horse" by Katy Perry featuring rapper Juicy J, is a seductive song about a dangerous love. The song is about a woman who is warning a man that she's powerful and that he needs to be careful in how he chooses to play with her. She's the kind of woman who can be his everything but also his enemy. The chorus warns the man that once he's with her, he won't be able to go back. The metaphor, "dark horse," is used to describe the woman because she presents an unexpected challenge and is capable of anything, just like a dark horse in a competition.
The first verse begins with Katy Perry telling the man that she knew he would come to her eventually, but he better choose carefully because she's capable of anything and everything. She then pleads with him to make her his one and only, but to never make her his enemy. The pre-chorus warns the man that if he wants to play with magic, he needs to be careful what he's falling for because she's coming at him like a dark horse. The chorus repeats this idea, adding that once he's hers, there's no going back.
The lyrics later switch to a rap from Juicy J. He shares that the woman is like karma and that she can be sweet as pie or turn cold as a freezer. He warns the man to be careful not to lead her on because her love is strong. He then becomes infatuated with her, even though he was initially only looking for a quick fling. The song ends with the chorus repeating, "there's no going back."
Overall, "Dark Horse" is a powerful and seductive song about being careful who you fall in love with because you may end up with an unexpected challenge. The lyrics warn against underestimating a woman's power and strength.
