Ladykiller Lyrics

baby it's not alright
the second that you turn your back, she'll be out of sight
maybe she'll break your heart the second that you spend the night apart.

how could you do it?
oh, how could you walk away from everything we made
how could you do it?
oh, you better watch yourself. i think that girl's insane.

she's in it just to win it,
don't trust her for a minute.
it's like a cheap thriller,
she's such a lady killer

baby she'll eat you alive
as soon as she smells your blood in the water
you better run to survive
before she makes you her latest slaughter

how could you do it?
oh, just come back to me. baby i'm begging, please.
how could you do it?
oh, she knows i love you still. you're just her latest kill.

she's in it just to win it,
don't trust her for a minute.
it's like a cheap thriller,
she's such a lady killer.

I think it's somehow confusing... He is probably singing this song to his girlfriend, and he is telling her to be ware a woman... But why?? She is a "ladykiller"? Means she kills the ladies? Help please if you know something about the meaning!

My Interpretation

likely a girl left him for another girl. either she's bi or she came out of the gay closet. Despite this, he doesn't want her to get hurt & is warning her that she's just a user/player & a ladykiller: "The second that you turn your back she'll be outta sight / Baby she'll break your heart". Maybe he's singing from a girl's point of view who is lesbian or bi & her gf left her for another girl.

@leavesintheriver Probably right, makes sense... Thank you!

this song lesbophobic as shit. singer is obviously some pathetic man whos mad his gf left him and is now dating a woman, and is begging for her to come back to him. portraying lesbians as a danger to other women is a common and extremely harmful trope and this song is disgusting for using it. sucks that i gotta hear this at work all the time :/
