Megan Nicole Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah yall know what it is
Katy Perry
Juicy J
Uh huh, let's rave!

I knew you were
You were gonna come to me
And here you are
But you better choose carefully
Cause I-I-I
I'm capable of anything
Of anything
And everything

Make me your Aphrodite
Make me your one and only
But don't make me your enemy
Your enemy
Your enemy

So you wanna play with magic?
Boy, you should know what you're falling for
Baby, do you dare to do this?
Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horse

Are you ready for?
Ready for?
A perfect storm?
Perfect storm?
Cause once you're mine
Once you're mine
There's no going back

Hey!

Mark my words
This love will make you levitate
Like a bird
Like a bird without a cage
We're down to earth
If you choose to walk away
Don't walk away

It's in the palm of your hand now baby
It's a yes or a no?
No maybe
So just be sure
Before you give it up to me
Up to me
Give it up to me

So you wanna play with magic?
Boy, you should know what you're falling for
Baby, do you dare to do this?
Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horse

Are you ready for?
Ready for?
A perfect storm?
Perfect storm?
Cause once you're mine
Once you're mine
There's no going back

Uh, she's a beast
I call her Karma
She eat your heart out
Like Jeffrey Dahmer
Be careful
Try not to lead her on
Shawty's heart is on steroids
Cause her love is so strong
You may fall in love
When you meet her
If you get the chance you better keep her
She's sweet as pie but if you break her heart
She turn cold as a freezer
That fairy tale ending with a knight in shining armor
She can be my Sleeping Beauty
I'm gon' put her in a coma (Woo!)
Damn, I think I love her
Shawty so bad
I'm sprung and I don't care
She ride me like a roller coaster
Turn the bedroom into a fair
Her love is like a drug
I was tryna hit it and quit it
But lil mama so dope
I messed around and got addicted

So you wanna play with magic?
Boy, you should know what you're falling for
Baby, do you dare to do this?
Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horse

Are you ready for?
Ready for?
A perfect storm?
Perfect storm?
Cause once you're mine




Once you're mine
There's no going back

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Megan Nicole's cover of Katy Perry's Dark Horse reflect a woman's warning to a man about the potential dangers of starting a relationship with her. She knows he is attracted to her, but she warns him to choose carefully because she is capable of anything and everything. She wants to be his one and only, but not his enemy. She challenges him to consider whether he is ready for the perfect storm that will come once he is with her. If he chooses to walk away, that is his choice, but he should be sure before giving himself up to her.


The chorus is an invitation to play with magic and to dare to enter into a dark and mysterious relationship with her. The perfect storm is a metaphor for the intensity and passion that comes with such a relationship. As the song progresses, we hear Juicy J's verse about the woman being a beast, eating hearts like Jeffrey Dahmer. He warns the man not to lead her on or break her heart, because she is capable of turning cold and wreaking havoc. Despite this warning, Juicy J is clearly smitten with her and is willing to risk being addicted to her love.


Overall, the song is a cautionary tale about the power dynamics that exist in romantic relationships. It highlights the risks involved in giving oneself over to another person completely and the potentially devastating consequences that can result.

Her love is addictive


I was tryna hit it and quit it
I was attempting to have a one-night stand


But lil mama so dope
But she is too amazing


I messed around and got addicted
I ended up falling in love with her despite my original intentions
