Love Affair
Lil Twist Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm dealing with this love affair
It used to be just physical
But now it's just too emotional for me
I wanna confess but I can't
Tell my girl what I want
So what do I do
Let it burn inside of me
Will I get away
Or will it end in tragedy

Fatal attraction ready for action
She had a body like Ms. Jackson
I knew there was trouble when she passed by
But she was so fly
She invited me over
So I hopped in the Rover
Then my lady called the phone
And I should of went home
But I let the phone roam

And it was like
Oh
I can't keep my shirt on
I swear it's was like
Oh
I can't keep my hands to myself

I'm dealing with this love affair
It used to be just physical
But now it's just too emotional for me
I wanna confess but I can't
Tell my girl what I want
So what do I do
Let it burn inside of me
Will I get away
Or will it end in tragedy

I swear that I was done
I'm never going back
Then she called me up
She said I left my hat
You know I can't live without my hat
I got an excuse double back y'all
So you know I'm gonna have a ball
I said I'm going back y'all
Believe me that's not all

And now I'm like
Oh
I can't keep my shirt on
I swear it's like
Oh (Young Money)
I can't keep my hands to myself

I'm dealing with this love affair
It used to be just physical
But now it's just too emotional for me
I wanna confess but I can't
Tell my girl what I want
So what do I do
Let it burn inside of me
Will I get away
Or let it end in tragedy

Uh, I got a main bitch and a mistress
I'm trying to work it out, I'm on my fitness
Probably won't last, but I'm optimistic
One makes me happy, the other one makes a difference
I ain't a player, but I love a lot
She loves me, she loves me not
But it feel good, and it's not supposed to
I eat her insides, mm soul food
She put her head back, then her eyes close
We stuck in the moment like the time froze
Then my girl call, back to reality
But I keep her in a picture in my heart gallery, oh!

Oh (Yeah)
I can't keep my shirt on
I swear it's like
Oh
I can't keep my hands to myself

I'm dealing with this love affair
It used to be just physical
But now it's just too emotional for me
I wanna confess but I can't
Tell my girl what I want
So what do I do
Let it burn inside of me




Will I get away
Or let it end in tragedy

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lil Twist's "Love Affair" are addressing the internal conflict of a person who has been involved in a purely physical relationship which has now escalated into something much deeper and emotional. The song talks about how the singer wants to confess to his girlfriend but is unable to do so, and is thus left with the question of whether he should let the affair burn inside him or end tragically. The lyrics use some powerful imagery to convey the emotions that the singer is going through, which makes it easier for the listener to relate to the song.


In the initial verses, the singer talks about how he indulged in a physical relationship with a woman who had a body like Ms. Jackson. He was attracted to her but he knew that it would lead to nothing. However, he did not expect that the affair would turn emotional, and now he is struggling to come to terms with these feelings. He is torn between his loyalty to his girlfriend and his attraction to the other woman. The lyrics summarize this conflict by asking whether he will get away with the affair or if it will end in tragedy.


The final verses of "Love Affair" reveal that the singer has both a main girlfriend and a mistress, and he is "trying to work it out." He acknowledges that the situation is not ideal, but he's optimistic that it will work out in his favor. He describes his feelings for both women, claiming that one makes him happy while the other "makes a difference." He concludes that although he knows the affair is not right, it makes him feel good, and he can't resist it.
