Wanderlust
The Weeknd Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is it so hard to say the same thing?
And you're so weak to say the same thing
And burn a hole into your apprehensiveness
And let the wildfire shine
And repeat after me
Good girls go to heaven
And bad girls go everywhere
And tonight I will love you
And tomorrow you won't care

Precious little diamond
I leave it all to you
Precious little diamond
Let it come to you
Precious little, precious little diamond
I leave it all to you
Precious little diamond
Let it come to you

You're in love with something bigger than love (precious little diamond)
You believe in something stronger than trust
Wanderlust
Wanderlust

Don't you shy away from me
Just sacrifice
Your every last, inhibition, I'm on your side
Don't patronize, you know tonight
Is the only time we'll have each other
Why, would you try
To waste this precious time?
'Cause tonight we'll be right here
And tomorrow you won't care

(Precious little diamond)
Precious little diamond (I leave it all to you)
I leave it all to you
(Precious little diamond)
Precious little diamond (let it come to you)
Ooh-hoo-hoo (precious little, precious little diamond)

Brighter than a diamond (I leave it all to you)
I leave it all to you
(Precious little diamond)
Precious little diamond (let it come to you)

You're in love with something bigger than love (precious little diamond)
You believe in something stronger than trust
Wanderlust
Wanderlust
They're in love with this idea of love
It's a shame that they'll believe it'll come
For us all
For us all

You're in love with something bigger than love (precious little diamond)
You believe in something stronger than trust
Wanderlust
Wanderlust

(Precious little diamond)
Brighter than a diamond (I leave it all to you)
I leave it all to you
(Precious little diamond)
Precious little diamond (let it come to you)

Ow (hoo)
Ow (hoo)
Ow (hoo)

(Precious little diamond) (ah)
Precious little diamond (I leave it all to you)
I leave it all to you (ah)
(Precious little diamond) (ah)
Precious little diamond (Let it come to you)
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo (ow, ow, ow)

(Precious little diamond) (ah)
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
(I leave it all to you) (ah)
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
(Precious little diamond) (ah)
Precious little diamond (let it come to you)
Ow, ow, ow (ow, ow)

Precious little, precious little diamond (ah)
Precious little diamond (I leave it all to you)
I leave it all to you (ah)
(Precious little diamond) (ah)
Precious little diamond (let it come to you)




Ow, ow, ow
(Precious little diamond)
