Black Widow
Rita Ora Iggy Azalea Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm gonna love you
Until you hate me
And I'm gonna show you
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Then to mess with me harder
I'm gonna love ya, I'm gonna love ya
Gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Like a black widow, baby

This twisted cat and mouse game always starts the same
First we're both down to play then somehow you go astray
We went from nothin' to somethin', likin' to lovin'
It was us against the world and now we just fuckin'
It's like I loved you so much and now I just hate you
Feelin' stupid for all the time that I gave you
I wanted all or nothin' for us ain't no place in between
Might, might be me believin' what you say that you never mean
Like it'll last forever but now forever ain't as long
If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be stuck singin' this song
You were different from my last but now you got a mirror
And as it all plays out I see it couldn't be clearer, now sing

You used to be thirsty for me
But now you wanna be set free
This is the web, web that you weave
So, baby, now rest in peace (it's all over with now)

I'm gonna love you
Until you hate me (right)
And I'm gonna show you (show 'em what? Show 'em what?)
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Then to mess with me harder (it's all over with now)
I'm gonna love ya, I'm gonna love ya
Gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Like a black widow, baby

(Black, black widow, baby)
I'm gonna lo-lo-lo-love you until it hurts
Just to get you I'm doin' whatever works
You ain't never met nobody
That'll do you how I do ya
That'll bring you to your knees
Praise, Jesus, hallelujah
I'ma make you beg for it, plead for it
'Til you feel like you breath for it
'Til you do any and everythin' for it
I want you to fiend for it
Wake up and dream for it
'Til it's got you gaspin' for air
And you lean forward
'Til they have a CAT scan to check on your mind
And it's nothin' but me on it (on it, on it)
Now it's me time, believe that
If it's yours when you want it
I want it, promise I need that
'Til I'm everywhere that you be at
I can't fall back or quit
'Cause this here is fatal attraction
So I take it all or I don't want shh

You used to be thirsty for me (right)
But now you wanna be set free
This is the web, the web that you weave
So, baby, now rest in peace (it's all over with now)

I'm gonna love you
Until you hate me (right)
And I'm gonna show you (show 'em what? Show 'em what?)
What's really crazy (woah)
You should've known better
Then to mess with me harder
I'm gonna love ya, I'm gonna love ya
Gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Like a black widow, baby





Black, black, black, black widow, baby

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Black Widow" by Rita Ora and Iggy Azalea are a representation of a woman's revenge after being betrayed by a lover. The song portrays the female character as a black widow spider, which is notorious for its poisonous bite and its habit of killing its mate. The lyrics suggest that the woman has been hurt numerous times by her partner and plans to get her revenge by using the man's desire for her against him. She intends to love him until he hates her and to show him just how crazy she can be.


In addition, the lyrics highlight the woman's frustration and disappointment in the relationship. She reminisces on the good times they had together and regretfully admits that she loved him so much, but now she hates him. She also calls out the man for his lies and suggests that she will do the same by lying to him in return. The lyrics suggest that the woman wants to inflict the same pain on her partner that she has felt and is willing to do whatever it takes to make him suffer.


Overall, "Black Widow" is a fierce and empowering anthem for women who have been hurt in relationships. It encourages women to take control of their love lives and to stand up for themselves when they've been wronged. The use of the black widow spider as a metaphor is a perfect representation of the strength and power that women possess.


Line by Line Meaning

I'm gonna love you
I will behave lovingly towards you


Until you hate me
Until you develop a strong aversion towards me


And I'm gonna show you
And I intend to demonstrate


What's really crazy
What is truly insane


You should've known better
You ought to have had more sense


Then to mess with me, heartache
Than to engage with me, resulting in emotional pain


I'm gonna lie to you, I'm gonna lie to you
I shall deceive you, once, twice or more


Gonna lie to you, gonna lie to you
And keep on deceiving you


Like a black widow, baby
As lethal as a venomous spider


This twisted cat and mouse game always starts the same
Our peculiar game of pursuing and avoiding each other always begins identically


First we're both down to play then somehow you go astray
Initially we both agree to participate, but somehow you get lost


We went from nothing to something liking to loving
We progressed from obscurity to importance, from affection to passion


It was us against the world now we just fucking
We were united against all adversity, but now we are simply having sex


It's like I loved you so much and now I just hate you
It feels as if I used to love you immensely, but now I feel the opposite


Feeling stupid for all the time that I gave you
Feeling foolish for all the moments that I dedicated to you


I wanted all or nothing for us ain't no place in between
I desired either everything or nothing regarding our relationship; there was no room for compromise


By me believing what you say that you never mean
By taking your words at face value, which you never intend to follow through


Like It'll last for ever but now forever ain't as long
As if our relationship was going to stretch on indefinitely, but now eternity seems shorter


If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be stuck singing this song
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this position of singing this song stuck in my mind


You were different from my last but now you got a mirror
You seemed dissimilar to my previous partner, but now you resemble them


But as it all plays out I see it couldn't be clearer
But as our relationship unfolds, it becomes abundantly apparent


You used to be thirsty for me
You were once eager and hungry for my love and attention


But now you wanna be set free
But now you desire to be liberated from me


This is the web, the web that you weave
This is the trap you have created, the trap that you spun


So baby now rest in peace (It's all over with now)
So my dear, now be at ease and find tranquillity because it's all come to an end


I'm gonna love you until it hurts
I shall continue to express affection towards you even when it causes pain


Just to get you I'm doing whatever works
I'm taking whatever measures are necessary to get you


You'd have never met nobody
You have not encountered anyone in the past


That will do you how I do ya
Who will treat you in the same manner as I do


That will bring you to your knees
Who will make you feel helpless and powerless


Praise Jesus hallelujah
Expressing gratitude to God


Imma make you beg for it, plead for it
I will make you implore and appeal for it


Till you feel like you breath for it
Until you feel like you will stop breathing without it


Till you do any and everything for it
Until you are willing to do anything and everything to obtain it


I want you to fiend for it
I want you to crave it like an addict craves drugs


Wake up and dream for it
To fantasize and aspire for it both when awake and asleep


Till it's got you gasping for air
Until it leaves you breathless and gasping for air


And you leave for it
And you abandon all else for it


Till then having kids, can check on your mind
Until that point, even having children will cross your mind


And there's nothing but me on it
And there is nothing else but me in your mind


Now it's me time believe that
Now it is my turn to take control, and accept that


If it's yours when you want it
If it belongs to you, then have it at your convenience


I wouldn't promise I need that
I don't make such promises, but I certainly want it


Till I'm everywhere that you be at
Until I am present wherever you may be


I can't fall back go quick
I cannot withdraw or retreat easily


'Cause this here is fatal attraction so I take it all or I don't want shit
Because this situation is a dangerous attraction, so I accept everything or nothing at all

LYRICSSSS !!!
I'm gonna love you, until you hate me
And I'm gonna show you, what's really crazy
You should've known better, than to mess with me harder
I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you
Gonna love you, gonna love you
Like a black widow, baby
This twisted cat and mouse game, always starts the same
First we're both down to play, then somehow you go astray
We went from nuttin' to somethin', likin' to lovin'
It was us against the world, and now we just fuckin'?
It's like I loved you so much that now I just hate you
Feelin' stupid for all the time that I gave you
I wanted all or nothin' for us, ain't no place in between
Might-might be me believing what you say that you'll never mean
Like it'll last forever, but now forever ain't as long
If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be stuck singing this song
You were different from my last, but now, you've got 'em mirrored
And as it all plays out I see it couldn't be clearer
Now sing...
You used to be, thirsty for me
But now you wanna be set free
This is the web, web that you weave
So, baby now rest in peace (it's all over with now)
I'm gonna love you, until you hate me (right)
And I'm gonna show you (show 'em what? Show 'em what?)
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Than to mess with me harder (it's all over with now)
I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you
Gonna love you, gonna love you
Like a black widow, baby
Black, black widow, baby
I'm gonna l-l-l-love you until it hurts
Just to get you I'm doin' whatever works
You had never meet nobody, that'll do ya how I do ya
That'll bring ya to your knees, praise Jesus, hallelujah
That'll make ya beg for it, plead for it
'Til you feel like you breathe for it
'Til you'd do any and every thing for it
I want you to fiend for it, wake up and dream for it
'Til it's got you gaspin' for air, and you lean forward
'Til you have a CAT scan to check on your mind
And there's nothing but me on it (on it, on it)
Now it's me time, believe that
If it's yours when you want it, I want it
Promise I need that
'Til I'm everywhere that you be at, I can't fall back or quit
'Cause this here a fatal attraction, so I take it all or I don't want sh-
You used to be, thirsty for me (right)
But now you wanna be set free
This is the web, web that you weave
So, baby now rest in peace (it's all over with now)
I'm gonna love you, until you hate me (right)
And I'm gonna show you (show 'em what? Show 'em what?)
What's really crazy
You should've known better, than to mess with me harder
I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you
Gonna love you, gonna love you
Like a black widow, baby
Bla-bla-black, black widow, baby
