The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Acquainted" by the artist "Weeknd, The"

In "Acquainted," The Weeknd sings about a passionate but toxic relationship with a girl he deems a "bad girl." He is aware of her reputation and the potential danger of their connection, yet he is irresistibly drawn to her.

The protagonist is torn between his desire to be with her and the understanding that he should stay away. He confesses his growing feelings for her while simultaneously trying to deny them. He is attracted to her aura of danger and forbidden fruit.

Despite warnings from his friends and his inner turmoil, he continues the relationship, finding solace in physical intimacy. He recognizes the need to run from this love, yet he sinks deeper into it, trying to numb the pain with alcohol.

The ending of the song reveals that the protagonist is not alone in his experience. He depicts a generation of girls born in the '90s as "dangerous" and drawn to these kinds of toxic relationships.

Baby you're no good

Cause they warned me bout your type girl

I've been ducking left and right

Baby you're no good

Think I fell for you, I fell for you, I fell for you

You got me puttin' time in, time in

Nobody got me feeling this way

You probably think I'm lying, lying

I'm used to bitches comin' right way

You got me touchin' on your body

You got me touchin' on your body

To say that we're in love is dangerous

But girl I'm so glad we're acquainted

I get you touchin' on your body

I get you touchin' on your body

I know I'd rather be complacent

But girl I'm so glad we're acquainted

Baby you're no good

All my ngas think I'm crazy

Cause I'm thinkin' 'bout us lately

But really if I could

I'd forget about you, 'get about you, 'get about you

You got me puttin' time in, time in

Nobody got me feeling this way

You probably think I'm lying, lying

I'm used to bitches comin' right way

You got me touchin' on your body

You got me touchin' on your body

To say that we're in love is dangerous

But girl I'm so glad we're acquainted

I get you touchin' on your body

I get you touchin' on your body

I know I'd rather be complacent

But girl I'm so glad we're acquainted, we're acquainted

Momma caught me cryin', cryin', cryin', cryin'

Cause I won't find somebody that's real

(She wants somebody that's real)

Cause every time I try to, try to, try to run

The fast life keeps gaining on me, shit

But ever since I met you

I couldn't believe what you did

So comfort me babe, ain't no rush from me babe

I keep on touchin' on your body

I keep on touchin' on your body

To say that we're in love is dangerous

But girl I'm so glad we're acquainted

I got you touchin' on your body

I got you touchin' on your body

I know I'd rather be complacent

But girl I'm so glad we're acquainted, we're acquainted

I'm not trying to talk at all

Cause I'm tryna love you crazy

Put some more inside your cup

And drink till you numb the pain

I got you touchin' on your body

These girls keep touchin' on their body

They got accustomed to the life we live

These girls born in the 90s are dangerous

I got 'em thinkin' that they want me

Although they know they not the only

I got 'em wanting to embrace their sins

These girls born in the 90s are dangerous
