Dirty Diana
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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's touching me so to start
She says: There's no turning back
She trapped me in her heart
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana
Let me be
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no
She likes the boys in the band
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-loving 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
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana
Diana
Diana
Dirty Diana
It's Diana-iana-iana
Come on
She said: I have to go home
'Cause I'm real tired, you see
But I hate sleeping 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
Saying: 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, no
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on (ah, don't you touch me)
Come on (ah, don't you touch me)
Come on (ah, don't you touch me)
Come on (ah, don't you touch me)
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
