Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were gonna come to me
And here you are
But you better choose carefully
'Cause I’m capable of anything
Of anything and everything
Make me your Aphrodite
Make me your one and only
So you wanna play with magic
Boy, you should know whatcha falling for
Baby do you dare to do this
'Cause I’m coming atcha like a dark horse
Are you ready for, ready for
A perfect storm, a perfect storm
'Cause once you’re mine, once you’re mine
There’s no going back
Mark my words
This love will make you levitate
Like a bird
Like a bird without a cage
But 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 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 whatcha falling for
Baby do you dare to do this
'Cause I’m coming atcha like a dark horse
Are you ready for, ready for
A perfect storm, a perfect storm
'Cause once you’re mine, once you’re mine
There’s no going back
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 was on steroids
'Cause her love was so strong
You may fall in love
When you meet her
If you get the chance you better keep her
She swears by it 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 got 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 whatcha falling for
Baby do you dare to do this
'Cause I’m coming atcha like a dark horse
Are you ready for, ready for
A perfect storm, a perfect storm
'Cause once you’re mine, once you’re mine
There’s no going back
The song "Dark Horse" by Katy Perry ft. Juicy J is a warning to a potential love interest who is eager to be with the singer. In the first verse, Perry acknowledges that the person is interested in her, but warns them to choose carefully because she is "capable of anything and everything." She urges them to make her their one and only, but warns them not to make her their enemy. The chorus is a metaphorical reference to a "dark horse," meaning an unlikely winner, and appears to suggest that if the person chooses to be with her, there will be no going back.
Later, Juicy J enters the song with a rap verse in which he refers to Perry as a "beast," calling her "Karma." He warns the listener not to lead her on because her love is so strong, and comments that although she may seem like a fairy tale ending, she can be dangerous. He concludes the verse by declaring his love for her and stating that he is "addicted" to her.
Overall, the song seems to convey a sense of confidence and power on Perry's part. She warns the listener that they must choose carefully and that she is not to be trifled with. At the same time, she offers the promise of an intense, passionate love if they choose to be with her.
