Steal My Clothes
Kito Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't love me, you just steal my clothes
Live in my house 'cause I can't say no
Let you in, now you're way too close
But I don't know how to let you go
You don't love me, you just drink my booze
With all your friends who trash my room
But when we fuck, shit, it feels like love
Feels like love, and it's so messed up, yeah, yeah

You don't love me, you just steal my food
Fill my closet with all your shoes
Makeup spillin' over my bathroom
Walking 'round, yeah, with an attitude, yeah
I don't know why but I love that shit (yeah, yeah)
Sex so fire when we fight like this
Shit's messed up but I can't resist
Guess that's just life with a real bad bitch, yeah

You don't love me, you just steal my clothes
Live in my house 'cause I can't say no
Let you in, now you're way too close
But I don't know how to let you go
You don't love me, you just drink my booze
With all your friends who trash my room
But when we fuck, shit, it feels like love
Feels like love, and it's so messed up, yeah, yeah

Yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
It's so messed up, yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah

Who's the reason why you got that car that you've been drivin'?
Everything you're wearing on that body, I provided
You said it was meant to be and fate was all behind it
You were low and I was dumb, I guess it's perfect timing

You don't love me, you just steal my clothes
Live in my house 'cause I can't say no
Let you in, now you're way too close
But I don't know how to let you go
You don't love me, you just drink my booze
With all your friends who trash my room (trash my room)
But when we fuck, shit, it feels like love
Feels like love, and it's so messed up, yeah, yeah

Yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah, ooh, woah
It's so messed up, yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah, oh-oh, oh
You don't love me, yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
It's so messed up, yeah, yeah

You don't love me, yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
It's so messed up

Overall Meaning

In Kito and Bea Miller's song "Steal My Clothes," the lyrics depict a dysfunctional and toxic relationship. The opening line "You don't love me, you just steal my clothes" sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer discusses the ways in which their lover takes advantage of them, from drinking their booze to trashing their room. Despite the clear lack of love, the singer can't seem to let go, as they admit "I don't know how to let you go." The chorus repeats the line "But when we fuck, shit, it feels like love," emphasizing the confusion and blurred lines of the relationship. The final verse reveals some resentment on the singer's part, as they accuse their lover of only being with them for material gain, such as the car they drive and the clothes they wear.

Overall, "Steal My Clothes" is a commentary on the complicated nature of toxic relationships. Despite the harm that the partner causes, the singer is still drawn to them because of the powerful physical connection they share. The lyrics are raw and honest, painting a stark picture of a relationship that is far from healthy.

You think that we are meant to be together and it was destiny

You were low and I was dumb, I guess it's perfect timing
You were down and I was naive so we ended up together
