Outside
Weeknd (The) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let you do what he taught you
Let you reminisce how you used, to do
Girl Iβm open to anything that'll get you into that zone
And understand that weβre all alone
So you can slowly take off your clothes
Baby girl you know what's in store
I've been goin' hard since last night
And I'mma go harder tonight
Wish you could see you through my eyes
Ooh I'm telling you this ain't the same
And I know he's still in your brain
I'm 'bout to burn that shit into flames
Once I'm in you, baby woah
Forget what you know
Make yourself at home
'Cause baby when I'm finished with ya
You won't wanna go outside
Woah
Woah
Yeah
And I'mma work you like a pro, baby, why
And, you gon' take it like one
Yeah you gon' take it like one
And I'mma give it like you asked for it, why
'Cause you been talkin' 'bout it
I know you been talkin' 'bout it
Ooh baby when I'm done with you, why
You ain't saying nothing
Yeah you ain't saying nothing
Ooh baby when I'm done with you, why
You ain't saying nothing
Yeah you ain't saying nothing
You gon' make me show off
All the pain that you feel you can tell
That we ain't making no love
But I'll pretend, oh girl, I'll pretend
If you pretend then girl I'll pretend
Let's make it seem like we're all we need in the end
Woah, woah
Forget what you know
Make yourself at home
'Cause baby when I'm finished with ya
You won't wanna go outside
Yeah, ooh
(Oh yeah) ooh yeah
Oh, let's break it down
Go outside
Go outside ooh
Ay, ooh
Let's break it down
Ooh, ooh
Yeah go outside
Baby go outside
Baby go outside

I'll let you show me his moves
Let you demonstrate the techniques he used
Let you do what he taught you
Allow you to perform the actions he instructed you on
Let you reminisce how you used, to do
Enable you to recall the way you used to behave
Girl Iβm open to anything that'll get you into that zone
I'm willing to try anything that puts you in the right frame of mind
And understand that weβre all alone
Realize that we're the only ones here
So you can slowly take off your clothes
It's okay for you to undress gradually
Baby girl you know what's in store
You're aware of what's going to happen
Baby I will stay up all night
I'll remain awake throughout the night
I've been goin' hard since last night
I've been putting a lot of effort in since last night
And I'mma go harder tonight
I'll put even more effort in tonight
Wish you could see you through my eyes
I wish you could experience how I perceive you
Ooh I'm telling you this ain't the same
This is different from your previous experiences
And I know he's still in your brain
I'm aware that you're still thinking about him
I'm 'bout to burn that shit into flames
I'm going to eradicate those thoughts
Once I'm in you, baby woah
After we've been intimate
Forget what you know
Let go of your existing knowledge
Make yourself at home
Get comfortable

When I'm finished with you, why
You ain't saying nothing
You won't say anything
Yeah you ain't saying nothing
Yes, you won't say anything
You gon' make me show off
You'll make me showcase
All the pain that you feel you can tell
You can communicate all the pain you feel
That we ain't making no love
That we're not making love
But I'll pretend, oh girl, I'll pretend
But I'll act as if, oh girl, I'll act as if
If you pretend then girl I'll pretend
If you act as if, then girl I'll act as if
Let's make it seem like we're all we need in the end
Let's make it appear as though we're all we require in the end
