Lyrics: Oh, no Oh, no Oh, no You'll 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 This time you won't seduce me 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 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 Diana, no Dirty Diana Let me be Oh, no Oh, no Oh, no She likes the boys in the bands 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 saying, "That's okay Hey, baby, do what you want I'll be your night lovin' thing I'll be the freak you can taunt I don't care what you say I wanna go too far I'll be your everything If you make me a star" Dirty Diana, nah Dirty Diana, nah Dirty Diana, no Dirty Diana Dirty Diana, nah Dirty Diana, nah Dirty Diana, no Dirty Diana Diana Diana Dirty Diana It's Dia-aa-aa... come on She said, "I have to go home 'Cause I'm real tired you see Now I hate sleepin' 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" And then I ran to the phone Sayin', "Baby I'm alright" I said, "But unlock the door" 'Cause I forgot the key She said, "He's not coming back Because he's sleeping with me" Dirty Diana, nah Dirty Diana, nah Dirty Diana, nah Dirty Diana, no Dirty Diana, nah Dirty Diana, nah Dirty Diana, nah Dirty Diana Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on!
This song, especially slowed, sounds like a past self that can’t let go of a love lost, drowning in a pool of amber. By the end of the song, that self is encased like a fly, uttering its last hopeful “I wish I’d never met you no more”, permanently cursed to be visibly optimistic yet inaudible in that hard, sticky, golden-colored goo rock.
Thank you For allowing me to see myself the way You see me Thank you Imagine me Loving what I see when the mirror looks at me 'cause I I imagine me In a place of no insecurities and I'm finally happy 'cause I imagine me Letting go of all of the ones who hurt me 'Cause they never did deserve me Can You imagine me?
