Stop pullin' me
And when I wanna stand on my own two
Suddenly you start to show
Signs of what is possible
Then you're back to your ways and I let me down
Tell me why I keep tryin'a stay around
When all my family
They always telling me,
Be
Through with you
And I know that deep down I'm callin' time on you
On you
On you
Every time I'm ready to leave
Always seem to be
Pullin' in the wrong direction
Divin' in with no protection
Man, you can't keep steerin' me wrong
Oh gravity
Pullin' me back, pullin' me in
Why you pullin' me back, pullin' me in
Just like gravity

I know I betrayed but I'm made to
Ignore the universe when I see you
Cos every night the stars will shine
Merging in to u-turn signs
Anythin' they can just to change my mind
When I pass your road I can't help rewind
What is wrong with me?
All that I wanna be is
Through with you
And I know that deep down I'm callin' time on you
On you

Every time I'm ready to leave
Always seem to be
Pullin' in the wrong direction

Pixie Lott's song "Gravity" is about a toxic relationship that the singer is trying to break free from. The song uses the metaphor of gravity which refers to an invisible force that pulls everything toward the center of the Earth, to describe the way her partner is pulling her back even when she is trying to leave. She is aware that her partner still hasn't found himself and she is trying to stand on her own two, but he keeps showing her glimpses of possibility, only to go back to his old ways and let her down. Despite her family telling her to be through with him, she keeps getting pulled in the wrong direction with no protection.
The song uses a lot of celestial references to create the feeling of one being pulled towards something greater than oneself. Lott sings about the universe, stars, and U-turn signs, suggesting that her attraction to her partner is not just a personal failing but something more cosmic. The last chorus, in which she asks her partner to stop pulling her, reveals that she feels she is being held back from moving on and achieving her full potential.

Gravity (gravity, gravity, gravity, gravity)
Gravidade (gravidade, gravidade, gravidade, gravidade)
Stop pullin' me
Pare de me puxar
I know that you still haven't found you
Eu sei que você ainda não se encontrou
And when I wanna stand on my own too
E quando eu quero ficar sozinha também
Suddenly you start to show
De repente você começa a mostrar
Signs of what is possible
Sinais de que é possível
Then you're back to your ways and I let me down
Então você volta como era e eu me deixo pra baixo
Tell me why I keep try'na stay around
Diga-me por que eu continuo tentando ficar por perto
When all my family
Quando toda a minha família
They always tellin' me
Eles sempre me dizem
Be through with you
Para me afastar de você
And I know that deep down I'm callin' time
E eu sei que no fundo eu estou chamando de tempo
On you, on you, on you
De você, de você, de você
Every time I'm ready to leave
Toda vez que estou pronta para ir embora
I seem to be
Sempre pareço estar
Pullin' in the wrong direction
Sendo puxada na direção errada
Divin' in with no protection
Mergulhando fundo sem proteção
And you can't keep steerin' me wrong
E você não pode continuar me guiando para a direção errada
Oh, gravity
Oh, gravidade
Pullin' me back, pullin' me in
Me puxando de volta, me puxando pra perto
Why you pullin' me back, pullin' me in?
Por que você me puxa de volta, me puxa pra perto?
Just like gravity (gravity, gravity, gravity, gravity, gravity)
Como a gravidade (gravidade, gravidade, gravidade, gravidade, gravidade)
I know I betray what I'm made to
Eu sei que traí quem eu sou
And all the universe when I see you
E todo o universo, quando eu te vejo
'Cause every night the stars will shine
Porque toda noite as estrelas vão brilhar
Merging in to u-turn signs
Se fundindo em você vira sinais
Anything that they can just to change my mind
Qualquer coisa que eles possam para apenas mudar minha mente
When I pass your road, I can't help rewind
Quando passo pelo seu caminho, não consigo evitar relembrar
What is wrong with me?
Qual o meu problema?
All that I wanna be
Tudo que eu quero é
Is through with you
É me afastar de você
And I know that deep down I'm callin' time
E eu sei que no fundo eu estou chamando de tempo
On you, on you, on you
De você, de você, de você
Every time I'm ready to leave
Toda vez que estou pronta para ir embora
I seem to be
Sempre pareço estar
Pullin' in the wrong direction
Sendo puxada na direção errada
Divin' in with no protection
Mergulhando fundo sem proteção
And you can't keep steerin' me wrong
E você não pode continuar me guiando para a direção errada
Oh, gravity
Oh, gravidade
Pullin' me back, pullin' me in
Me puxando de volta, me puxando pra perto
Why you pullin' me back, pullin' me in?
Por que você me puxa de volta, me puxa pra perto?

Fique quieto, deixe-me ir, deixe-me ir
Don't say another word
Não diga outra palavra
'Cause with every sound
Porque com todo som
You're pullin' me down
Você está me puxando para baixo
Baby, you got a hold on me
Baby, você me segura
Like gravity
