Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah,
Yo turn the piano up
Can you feel it
Yeah like that
This the way love feels
Yo check it

Are we living in vain,
Are we living in pain
Girl remember my name (remember my name)
And whatever remains
After we walk on white sand
Lets travel in style
Just want to see you happy and smiling
I can change your life in one flight,
Lets take off tonight, come on

We go,
We go down
Love is in,
Then its out
We can tell,
Tell by now
If it wont, work out

Lets not forget
Back in Brooklyn
Where the future
First began
Lets start again
Cant be over
That's what I told her
And then she said

I hate that you love me
So much boy
I hate that you hurt me
So much boy
I hate that you love me
So much boy
I hate that you hurt me
So much boy
I hate that you love me

One time is enough for me
Close your eyes, there's much to see
So lets jump and both touch the clouds, and we never come down
Its amazing the view here
On top of the world where even the air is all brand new here
Fireworks like new years
Hurt is old news, why would you shed new tears

How can you
Trust in love
When our time
Our time is up
If I leave
Will you
Walk away
From the truth

Lets not forget
Back in Brooklyn
Where the future
First began
Lets start again
Cant be over
That's what I told her
And then she said

I hate that you love me
So much boy
I hate that you hurt me
So much boy
I hate that you love me
So much boy
I hate that you hurt me
So much boy
I hate that you love me

Things I know now, don't allow me to turn back
We been through it all but now I just want my heart back
And I could walk away but see your love is my weakness
Oh it could be pointless to try and walk away, that's why

I hate that you love me
So much boy
I hate that you hurt me
So much boy
I hate that you love me
So much boy
I hate that you hurt me
So much boy
I hate that you love me

That I love
Cause I know how to love
You hate better hurt
Cause you hurt me
You hate better love
Cause I hate better love




You hate better hurt
Cause you hurt me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "I Hate That You Love Me" by P. Diddy Feat. Dirty Money tells the story of a complicated romantic relationship between two individuals who love and hurt each other at the same time. The song starts with a portrayal of confusion and uncertainty, as the artist asks if they are living in vain or pain, and if the love they once had will work out. The main character recalls white sands and wanting to make his partner smile, promising to change their life with the flight they take together. However, the chorus of the song reveals a darker side to the relationship, as the girl says she hates that the boy loves her so much and that he hurts her so much as well. The artist tries to justify the situation by saying it's amazing on top of the world, where you can see the fireworks like it's new years, and reminds the girl of the place where their relationship first started, Brooklyn.

The Last Train To Paris album was exceptional. Its a shame that it didn't get the attention it deserved. Dirty Money was greatness. If they were making more albums like this, they would go down in history.
