Heat
Kelly Clarkson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm stumblin' through the darkness
There ain't no sign of a spark here
I'm used to feelin' that fire
You watered down that desire
I put my work in, day in, day out
Baby I deserve it, don't let me down
You used to make me feel like a diamond
Now it don't even seem like you're tryin'
So give me one good reason that I should need you

(Oh, whoa, oh)
Come turn this around
(Oh, whoa, oh)
No, no, don't let us down
I need more heat from ya, baby
Make me feel weak for ya, babe
(Oh, whoa, oh)
And I feel alive
(Oh, whoa, oh)
Like my heart's in the wild
I need more heat from ya, baby
Make me feel weak for ya, babe

I'm slippin' out of your fingers
Keep coolin' down like November
I'm used to feelin' that fever
I wanna dive in you deeper
I put that work in, day in, day out
Baby I deserve it, don't let me down, no
Give me one good reason that I should need you

(Oh, whoa, oh)
Come turn this around
(Oh, whoa, oh)
No, no, don't let us down
I need more heat from ya, baby
Make me feel weak for ya, babe
(Oh, whoa, oh)
And I feel alive
(Oh, whoa, oh)
Like my heart's in the wild
I need more heat from ya, baby
Make me feel weak for ya, babe

Better than that
Better than that
You know I love you
Better than that
Better than that
So come on love me
Better than that
Better than that
Oh we can do so much
Better than that
Better than that

(Oh, whoa, oh)
Come turn this around
(Oh, whoa, oh)
No, no, don't let us down
I need more heat from ya, baby
Make me feel weak for ya, babe
(Oh, whoa, oh)
And I feel alive
(Oh, whoa, oh)
Like my heart's in the wild
I need more heat from ya, baby
Make me feel weak for ya, babe

Better than that
Better than that
You know I love you
Better than that
Better than that
So come on love me
Better than that
Better than that
Oh we can do so much
Better than that
Better than that

Better than that
Better than that
You know I love you
Better than that
Better than that
So come on love me
Better than that
Better than that
Oh we can do so much




Better than that

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, Kelly Clarkson expresses feelings of disappointment and longing in a relationship that has lost its spark. She starts by describing how she feels lost and alone in the darkness, with no sign of passion or excitement. The flame that used to burn between them has been dampened, and she feels that her desire has been watered down.


Kelly emphasizes the effort she has put into the relationship, emphasizing that she deserves better. She used to feel like a valuable and precious diamond, but now it seems like her partner is no longer trying to make her feel special. She demands one good reason why she should continue needing her partner in her life if they can't bring back the heat and passion they once had.


She then talks about slipping out of her partner's grasp, feeling herself cool down like the month of November. She craves the feverish and intense feelings she used to have for her partner, wanting to dive deeper into the love they once shared. She reiterates that she deserves better and once again demands a reason to stay.


The chorus emphasizes her longing for more heat from her partner, wanting them to make her feel weak and alive, like her heart is in the wild. She yearns for the intensity and excitement they once had. The repetition of the chorus further reinforces her desire for her partner to step up and bring back the passion in their relationship.


The bridge of the song takes a more positive twist, suggesting that the relationship still has potential to be better than it currently is. Kelly expresses her love for her partner and encourages them to love her back, promising that they can achieve so much more together if they put in the effort.


In conclusion, "Heat" by Kelly Clarkson is a song about longing for the passion and excitement that has faded in a relationship. It is a plea for her partner to reignite the flames and make her feel alive again. The lyrics reflect her disappointment in the current state of their relationship and her hopes that they can surpass their current situation and create something better.

She deserves so much more recognition. Sheโ€™s not only talented, sheโ€™s a genuinely sweet person. Sheโ€™s real, relatable, and doesnโ€™t take anyoneโ€™s bullshit. She is so underrated.

Sanyogeeta sinha

Not That Underated, Like She Has 3 VMAs, 3 Grammys, 2 Emmys, 3 No 1 Singles, 3 No 1 Albums And A Talk Show That Is Gonna Become The No 1 Talkshow After The Ellen Show Ends Next Year, But Her New Album Is Very Underated For An Artist With Such A Strong And Powerful Voice.

Michael Wood

HOOOOOLY WOW!!! I've never heard Kelly sound better than on this album!!! Who sounds BETTER 15 years into their career?! NOBODY. What the?! This is unheard of. She better win multiple Grammys for this album!!!!

Abducco

Taylor Allison Kelly Clarkson DESTROYS Carrie Underwood

Angeline Bena

Taylor Allison honestly I think there are a lot of good songs in Taylorโ€™s new album. Itโ€™s just that she chose the wrong singles completely

Aradhana Parida

Carrie Underwood and Avril Lavigne are timeless as well

Abe T

Logically she'd sound far better with experience and confidence and power over her songs and career ;)

If this album doesn't sweep at the grammy's it's fixed. Every song is worthy and the Nashville Session's proves the Girl Can SANG, she slays it song after song. She's not messing around folks, Kelly is Back and She's #1... Please listen to the Nashville Session's they are Amazing!

Angela Best

Doesn't make sense she didn't get what she deserved for this album.
