Outside
Kp'da Truth; The Weeknd Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll let you show me his moves
Let you do what he taught you
Let you reminisce how you used to do
Girl, I'm open to anything that'll get you into that zone
And understand that we're all alone
So you can slowly take off your clothes
Baby girl, you know what's in store
Baby I will stay up all night
I've been goin' hard since last night
And I'ma go harder tonight
Wish you could see you through my eyes
Oh, I'm telling you this ain't the same
And I know he's still in your brain
I'm 'bout to burn that shit into flames
Once I'm in you, baby whoa

Forget what you know (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Make yourself at home (ooh)
'Cause baby when I'm finished with ya
You won't wanna go outside

Whoa
Whoa
Whoa

And I'ma work you like a pro, baby, why
And, you gon' take it like one
Yeah you gon' take it like one
And I'ma give it like you asked for it, why
'Cause you been talkin' 'bout it
I know you talkin' 'bout it
Ooh baby, when I'm done with you, why
You ain't saying nothing
Yeah, you ain't saying nothing
Ooh baby, when I'm done with you, why
You ain't saying nothing
Yeah, you ain't saying nothing
You gon' make me show off
All the pain that you feel, you can tell
That we ain't making no love
But I'll pretend, oh girl, I'll pretend
If you pretend, then girl, I'll pretend
Let's make it seem like we're all we need in the end

Whoa, whoa

Forget what you know
Make yourself at home (whoa)
'Cause baby when I'm finished with ya
You won't wanna go outside

Yeah, whoa, whoa
Oh yeah, ooh yeah
Ah, let's break it down

La la la la
La la la la la la la, ah, la, don't
Go outside
Go outside ooh
Ay, ooh
Let's break it down

La la la la
La la la la la la la
Yeah
Go outside




Baby go outside
Baby go outside

Overall Meaning

The Weeknd's song "Outside" seems to be about a man trying to seduce a woman who is still trapped in her past relationship. The lyrics, "I'll let you show me his moves, let you do what he taught you, let you reminisce how you used to do," suggest that the woman is still holding onto memories of her past relationship, and the man is willing to indulge her in those memories in order to get her into the mood. He encourages her to forget everything she knows and make herself at home with him. The lyrics "And understand that we're all alone, so you can slowly take off your clothes" suggest that he wants her to be comfortable with him and feels that they have an intimate moment.


The man in the song promises to work the woman like a pro and give her what she has been asking for. The chorus exclaims that when he is finished with her, she won't want to go outside. The focus on keeping her indoors and away from the outside world after their encounter hints at an addiction to sex and a reluctance to move on from her past relationship.


Overall, "Outside" seems to be a sexually charged song about a man trying to prove to a woman that he is better than her previous partner and trying to make her forget about her past.

I make my friends who don't know Abel listen to this song...

Watch them hate it...

Make them listen to his other songs, get them hooked on Abel...

Make them listen to this song again...

And watch them fall in love...

I'm paying for all my father's sins
So I will thank him for you
I'ma thank him for you
My serotonin's got a while to go
Girl, it's gone 'cause of you
It's been gone 'cause of you

They say, they want heaven
They say, they want God
I say, I got heaven
Well I say, I am God

I never prayed a moment in my life
Girl I'm rewarded with you
I've been rewarded with you
So baby let me kiss your inner thigh
Let me kiss it for you
I can kiss it for you

They say, they want heaven
They say, they want God
I say, I have heaven
I say, I am God

Either people listen to the Weeknd and know every single song, or they don't know much about him. One or the other, nothing in between.
