The Town
The Weeknd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I liked, that I liked
And you like diamond rings
I can provide, I can provide for you
You made me feel so good
Before I left, on the road
And you deserve your name on a crown, on a throne
That I liked, that I liked
And you like diamond rings
I can provide, I can provide for you
You made me feel so good
Before I left, on the road
And you deserve your name on a crown, on a throne
I haven't been around my town in a long while
I apologize but I
I've been trying to get this money like I got a couple kids
Who rely on me
But I remember on the bathroom floor before I went on tour
When you said we couldn't do it again
'Cause you had a thing with some other man
You said it was love
And you said you were lost
Then you wished me good luck
To find somebody to love
But, ooh
Now I've heard that you're single
And oh
I'll give you something to live for
Yes, I will
Honey, honey, honey, honey
Honey, honey, honey, honey
Honey please
You never thought you'd ever see my face again
But your love just swayed the lies
When he stared into your eyes
And he just might be too good for you
You're almost dead to him
You're sleeping with a frozen heart
Well baby girl it's over now
And you can always count on me
Your uncheckable
Unrestrained to touch
So immune to love
And it feels so priceless to me
That you're always free
That you'll take me in
Now, I'm everything, your everything, ooh
I bet you'll take me in
I know you'll take me in now
The same place I left you in
Ooh
Bet you'll take me in
I know you'll take me in
I know you'll take me in
The same place I left you in
Ooh, oh
Ooh
Ooh
No
Let me love you
You did many things
That I liked, that I liked
And you like diamond rings
I can provide, I can provide for you
You made me feel so good
Before I left, on the road
And you deserve your name on a crown, on a throne
In The Weeknd's song The Town, the singer reminisces on a past relationship he had before he left on tour to pursue his music career. The song takes on a melancholic tone, reflecting on a time when The Weeknd had someone who made him feel good before he left, someone who liked diamond rings that he could provide. The second verse reveals that The Weeknd had been trying to get money like he had a couple of kids relying on him, apologizing for not being around his town for a long while. In a moment of vulnerability, the song then describes how, while on tour, he learned that the girl he was with had found someone else. He remembers the moment when she told him, how she said it was love, and how she wished him good luck in finding love.
The song then takes a turn when The Weeknd says "now I've heard that you're single, and oh, I'll give you something to live for, yes, I will." He then goes on to state that the girl he's singing about can always count on him, that he's her everything. The song ends with The Weeknd saying "No, let me love you" and repeating the chorus which goes "you did many things that I liked, that I liked, and you like diamond rings, I can provide, I can provide for you, you made me feel so good before I left, on the road, and you deserve your name on a crown, on a throne."
