Walk All Over You Lyrics – Lola Young

Walk All Over You Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
Counting in before starting the song.

[Verse 1]
The singer is clearly frustrated with her partner’s behavior. She feels fed up because he keeps criticizing her for being needy or demanding, while he himself leaves chores undone. She’s annoyed that he expects her to handle everything, like cleaning up the kitchen, without taking responsibility. It shows she’s reaching the limit of her patience and wants him to start pulling his weight in the relationship.

[Pre-Chorus]
She refuses to keep cleaning up after him or loving him blindly. She tells him to get his life together and take responsibility for himself. She also points out the unfairness in the relationship—he loved her for his own pride, while she genuinely loved him for who he is. She’s making it clear she won’t continue being taken for granted.

[Chorus]
She warns him not to act confused or dismissive. Being a man doesn’t give him the right to treat her badly. If he hurts her or disrespects her, she will turn the tables and make him face the consequences of his actions.

[Post-Chorus]
She’s emphasizing that she will stand her ground.

[Verse 2]
She’s tired of the stress he causes and wonders why loving her seems so difficult for him. She admits she can be impatient, but calls out his unreasonable behavior. She also highlights that he is far from perfect, so he has no right to criticize or put her down. The verse reinforces her frustration and desire for fairness in the relationship.

[Pre-Chorus]
She demands he take responsibility by cleaning up and contributing to life and work. She refuses to continue loving him unconditionally if he can’t step up. She also contrasts their feelings—he loved her out of ego, while she loved him sincerely. She’s setting clear boundaries and emphasizing her worth in the relationship.

[Chorus]
She insists he shouldn’t act like he doesn’t understand her frustrations. Being a man doesn’t excuse bad behavior or disrespect. She emphasizes that if he treats her poorly, she won’t stay passive—she will assert herself. The repeated lines highlight her determination not to be mistreated. She reminds him that their love has been unbalanced: he focused on himself, while she gave genuine care. She makes it clear she won’t be walked over anymore. Her warning is strong and repeated multiple times, showing she’s serious about standing up for herself. The chorus reinforces her independence and refusal to tolerate mistreatment, leaving no room for excuses. It’s about reclaiming power and self-respect while exposing the unfairness in the relationship.

[Post-Chorus]
She will assert herself and won’t let him dominate or disrespect her.

[Outro]
She repeats that she will take control and won’t let him push her around. Her message is about empowerment and standing up firmly for herself in the relationship.
