Weigh Me Down Lyrics
[Intro]
Don’t weigh me down, don’t weigh me down
Don’t weigh me down
Don’t weigh me down, don’t weigh me down
Don’t weigh me down, ayy
[Verse 1]
You said you would ride, ride for me
You said you would try, try for me
You said that you were all in it
You said you’d give me all interest
They can never make or break us
4-20, we just tryna stay up
Same team, they could never trade us
Alley-oop, we trying lay up
[Pre-Chorus]
All night, RSVP invite
Gotta feel it one more time, just to know you’re mine
Comе and take it, I know you been patient
You know I’ve been waiting ’round
Got mе out here floating
[Chorus]
Head in the clouds, feet off ground
This love is everything right now
Don’t weigh me down, don’t weigh me down
Don’t weigh me down
I’m not your first, could be your last
Just hold me up, that’s all I ask
Don’t weigh me down, don’t weigh me down
Don’t weigh me down, ayy
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Don’t weigh me down, don’t weigh me down
Don’t weigh me down
Ooh, ooh
Don’t weigh me down, don’t weigh me down
Don’t weigh me down
[Verse 2]
I’ma get it right, right for you
And I’ma keep it tight, tight for you
But I won’t ride or die for you
Drive me anywhere, we’re crazy, I can’t lose a life for you, oh
Only one way to take me (Take me)
Up, up and away me (Away me)
Ain’t living, don’t make me (Make me)
If I’m dreaming, don’t wake me
[Pre-Chorus]
All night, RSVP invite
Gotta feel it one more time, just to know you’re mine
Come and take it, I know you been patient
You know I’ve been waiting ’round
Got me out here floating
[Chorus]
Head in the clouds, feet off ground
This love is everything right now
Don’t weigh me down, don’t weigh me down
Don’t weigh me down
I’m not your first, could be your last
Just hold me up, that’s all I ask
Don’t weigh me down, don’t weigh me down
Don’t weigh me down, ayy
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Don’t weigh me down, don’t weigh me down
Don’t weigh me down
Ooh, ooh
Don’t weigh me down, don’t weigh me down
Don’t weigh me down
Summary of this Song Lyrics
__________________________________
Weigh Me Down Lyrics by Keri Hilson, explores the emotional balance between love, freedom, and loyalty in a relationship. The lyrics portray a heartfelt dialogue between partners, where the speaker seeks reassurance that their love will be uplifting rather than burdensome. There’s a repeated plea not to be held back emotionally, symbolized by the phrase “don’t weigh me down.”
In the verses, the singer reflects on promises made in the relationship — commitments to be supportive, loyal, and fully invested. There’s a sense of longing and vulnerability, especially when the singer admits to doing their best to stay committed, but also sets boundaries, saying they won’t sacrifice their entire self (“I can’t lose a life for you”). These lines suggest a desire for a healthy, mutual connection that doesn’t involve losing one’s identity.
The chorus emphasizes the high the relationship brings — “head in the clouds, feet off ground” — capturing the blissful, almost dreamlike state of love. However, there’s also a fear of being let down or burdened by emotional baggage. The repeated line “don’t weigh me down” serves as both a plea and a boundary, asking the partner to support rather than drag them down.
Musically and emotionally, the track balances lightness with depth — it’s romantic but self-aware, hopeful but cautious. The imagery of floating and elevation contrasts with the fear of being pulled down, symbolizing a desire for love that lifts, not limits.
Overall, the song is about wanting love that’s free, uplifting, and balanced — one that brings joy without emotional heaviness. It’s a gentle anthem for anyone seeking a love that feels like flying, not falling.
