The meaning of the lyrics of the song "D.D." by the artist "Weeknd, The"

The Weeknd's "D.D." portrays a femme fatale named Diana who uses her charm and guile to seduce men, especially musicians. The song's narrator finds himself falling for Diana despite knowing her reputation.

In the first verse, Diana tries to seduce the narrator, assuring him he's different and that she genuinely needs him. Despite his resistance, she skillfully manipulates him, stroking his ego and promising an unforgettable experience. The chorus, "Dirty Diana, no! Dirty Diana, let me be!" reflects the narrator's internal struggle, acknowledging the danger but unable to resist Diana's allure.

The second verse reveals Diana as a fame and fortune hunter. She deliberately seduces famous musicians, seeing them as a means to an end. She's willing to do whatever it takes to achieve her goals, even playing the role of a silly and submissive girl.

In the third verse, Diana convinces the narrator to go with her despite having a girlfriend. He succumbs to her charms and lies to his girlfriend to spend the night with Diana. Diana's final line, "He won't be back because he's sleeping with me tonight," emphasizes her dominance and confidence in her victory.

The song paints a picture of a woman who is both alluring and dangerous, leaving the listener questioning whether the narrator will ever escape her clutches.

[Verse 1:]

You'll never make me stay,

So take your weight off of me.

I know your every move,

So won't you please let me be?

I've been here times before,

But I was to blind to see

That you seduce every man,

This time you won't seduce me.

She's sayin', “That's OK,

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's touchin' me so to start,

She says, there's no turnin' back,

She trapped me in her heart.

[Chorus:]

Dirty Diana, no!

Dirty Diana, no!

Dirty Diana, no!

Dirty Diana,

Let me be!

Oh, no...

Oh, no...

Oh, no...

[Verse 2:]

She likes the boys in the band,

She knows when they come to town,

Every musician's fan after the curtains 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 says, “That's OK,

Hey baby, do what you want

I'll be your night lovin' thing,

I'll be the freak you can taunt.

And I don't care what you say,

I want to go too far,

I'll be your everything

If you make me a star.”

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]

She said, “I have to go home

‘Cause I'm real tired, you see.

But 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”.

At that I ran to the phone,

Sayin', baby, I'm alright.

I said, “Unlock the door

Because I forgot the key.”

She said, “He's not comin' back

Because he's sleepin' with me”.

[Chorus]
