Shaman's Harvest Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You never make me stay
So take your weight off of me
I know your every move
So won't you just let me be
I've been here times before
But I was too blind to see
That you seduce every man
She's saying that's okay
Hey baby do what you please
I have the stuff that you want
I am the thing that you need
She looked me deep in the eyes
She's touchin' me so to start
She says there's no turnin' back
She trapped me in her heart
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Di-ana, nah
Dirty Diana
Let me be!
Oh no no
She likes the boys in the band
She knows when they come to town
Every musician's fan after the curtain comes down
She waits at backstage doors
For those who have prestige
Who promise fortune and fame
A life that's so carefree
She's says that's alright
Hey baby do what you want
I'll be your night lovin' thing
I'll be the freak you can taunt
And I don't care what you say
I want to go too far
I'll be your everything
If you make me a star
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Di-ana, nah
Dirty Diana
Let me be, let me be
She said I have to go home
'Cause I'm real tired you see
But I hate sleppin' alone
Why don't you come with me
I said my baby's at home
She's probably worried tonight
I didn't call on the phone to
Say that I'm alright
Diana walked up to me
She said I'm all yours tonight
At that I ran to the phone
Sayin' baby I'm alright
I said but unlock the door
I forgot the key
She said he's not coming back
Because he's sleeping with me
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Di-ana, nah
Dirty Diana
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Di-ana, nah
Dirty Di-ana-ana-ana-ana
Come on!
Come on!
In Shaman's Harvest's song "Dirty Diana," the lyrics depict a woman who is known for seducing men and is not afraid to use her sexuality to get what she wants. The persona in the song is a man who has been tempted by her before but is determined not to fall for her charms this time. He knows her every move and wants her to leave him alone. However, despite his protests, Dirty Diana tempts him with promises of fame, fortune, and pleasure. The song concludes with a twist ending where the singer returns home, only to discover that he has been betrayed by his lover and she has replaced him.
The song is a cover of the original song performed by Michael Jackson. The lyrics were subject to controversy upon its release, with some arguing that the song was misogynistic and promoted slut-shaming. However, others argue that it is a warning against the dangers of sexual manipulation and power dynamics.
