Kp'da Truth/ The Weeknd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where he must take responsibility
For the choices he has made
And there are certain things that he must do
Things that he must say
Like I love you
And I need you
And nobody's going to know if it's true, ooh
I never thought I'd feel this kind of hesitation (to put)
My hand on another girl
I wish I didn't have to lie
I wish I could let you know
'Cause I love you
And I need you
I only want you
And nobody's going to know if it's true
Valerie (oh, Valerie)
I know you can see through me
(I know you can see through my lies)
Valerie (oh, Valerie)
You just choose to never know
(No, you just don’t know what I do, what I do, oh, Valerie)
Valerie
Why pretend to trust in me?
(I don't know why you try to trust in me baby, but I think I know)
Valerie (I know, Valerie)
You'd rather this than be alone, oh, oh, oh
'Cause I love you
Woah, and I need you
I only want you, oh
And nobody's going to know if it's true, Oh
'Cause I love you, ooh
And I need you
I only want you, ooh
And nobody's going to know if it's true
And I love you
'Cause I love you baby
And I need you
When I need, need
I only want you
And nobody gonna know, ooh
The Weeknd's song "Valerie" is a passionate ballad about a man who is struggling with his feelings of love and the impulse to cheat on his significant other. The lyrics suggest a conflict within his mind as he grapples with the idea of being faithful and true to one person while experiencing temptation to cheat. Throughout the song, he admits his love and need for his partner, but also explores his desire for another person. The chorus of the song, "Valerie, I know you can see through me, Valerie, you just choose to never know" illustrates his inner conflict and the guilt he feels for hiding his feelings of infidelity from his partner.
The lyrics in "Valerie" are poetic and raw, and showcase The Weeknd's skills as both a singer and a songwriter. He uses powerful imagery to describe his intentions and his struggles, leaving the listener with a sense of melancholy and empathetic understanding. The song is a reminder that even the strongest relationships can be tested by the temptations of the heart, and that honesty and trust are paramount to maintaining a lasting bond.

There comes a time in a man's life
At some point in a man's life
Where he must take responsibility
he needs to be accountable
For the choices he has made
for the decisions he has done
And there are certain things that he must do
there are things he has to accomplish
Things that he must say
words that he must declare
Like I love you
expressing affection
And I need you
depending on someone
I only want you
the desire to have one person only
And nobody's going to know if it's true, ooh
keeping their relationship private
I never thought I'd feel this kind of hesitation (to put)
I did not foresee this reluctance to engage physically
My hand on another girl
touching another woman
I wish I didn't have to lie
the regret of being dishonest
I wish I could let you know
hoped to inform about the truth
'Cause I love you
because of the love I have for you
And I need you
because I have a dependency on you
I only want you
I just want you
And nobody's going to know if it's true
keeping their relationship private
Valerie (oh, Valerie)
Valerie, the addressed person
I know you can see through me
aware that she can see the real him
(I know you can see through my lies)
acknowledging her capability to expose his deceit
You just choose to never know
she prefers to overlook the truth
(No, you just don’t know what I do, what I do, oh, Valerie)
no, she has no idea of what I do
Why pretend to trust in me?
why display a pretense of faith in me?
(I don't know why you try to trust in me baby, but I think I know)
not sure why you cling onto me, but I have an idea
Valerie (I know, Valerie)
Valerie, the addressed person
You'd rather this than be alone, oh, oh, oh
preferring an unfaithful partner than being solitary
'Cause I love you, ooh
because of the love I have for you
And I need you
because I have a dependency on you
I only want you, ooh
I just want you
And nobody's going to know if it's true, Oh
keeping their relationship private
And I love you
and I do love you
'Cause I love you baby
because of my love for you, my dear
And I need you
because I have a dependency on you
When I need, need
when I desperately need you
I only want you
I just want you
And nobody gonna know, ooh
keeping their relationship private
