Kitchen Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You know we got a real history
That’s no reason I can’t choose me (Ooh)
You know that dick been good to me (Ah)
You make it hard for me to choose me

[Chorus]
Dancing and kissing, the kitchen
Makes me forget, I forgive him
Mama told me I don’t listen, back again
Crashing out on shrooms, I guard them
Cursing you solves all my problems
Vacationing in rock bottom, back again

[Post-Chorus]
So hard to do the right thing (Ah)
So hard to do the right thing (Oh)

[Verse 2]
You know we got a real history
That don’t mean I’ll let you abuse me (Ooh)
That pussy hit like royalty (Oh)
Must be hard for you to lose me

[Chorus]
Dancing and kissing, the kitchen
Makes me forget, I forgive him
Mama told me I don’t listen, back again
Crashing out on shrooms, I guard them
Cursing you solves all my problems
Vacationing in rock bottom, back again (Oh)

[Post-Chorus]
So hard to do the right thing (Oh)
So hard to do the right thing (Oh, do the right, oh, I)
So hard to do the right thing (So hard to do the right thing, ah)
So hard to do it (Ooh, so hard to do it)

[Outro]
You know we got a real history
Dancing, kissing, the kitchen
Makes me think I forgive him
(Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
Dancing, kissing, the kitchen
Makes me think I forgive him
(Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)

However, she asserts her agency, recognizing the importance of choosing herself despite the allure of familiarity. The verse conveys the complexity of balancing love with self-worth, highlighting the struggle of detaching from someone who has had a profound impact on her.

[Chorus]
The chorus illustrates a poignant scene of dancing and kissing in the kitchen, symbolizing moments of intimacy that make SZA momentarily forget the pain and challenges in the relationship. These tender moments juxtapose with her acknowledgment of repetitive mistakes and the influence of her upbringing. Her mother’s advice, which she admits to ignoring, adds layers to the emotional weight of the narrative, underscoring the tension between forgiveness and self-destruction.

[Post-Chorus]
SZA emphasizes the difficulty of making the right decisions in the face of emotional turmoil. This refrain highlights her internal battle, where the pull of familiar patterns conflicts with the desire to break free and make healthier choices. The repetition underscores the universality of this struggle and its emotional toll.

Here, SZA reaffirms the depth of the relationship, but she also establishes boundaries, refusing to allow mistreatment. She acknowledges her value, likening herself to royalty, while recognizing the pain her absence may cause. This section explores themes of empowerment and self-respect, signaling growth even within the confines of a complex emotional connection.

[Chorus]
The repeated chorus reinforces the cyclical nature of the relationship. SZA vividly describes moments of escapism and coping mechanisms, such as substance use and self-reflection, to deal with her struggles. The imagery of “vacationing in rock bottom” illustrates the paradox of seeking solace in places of despair, adding depth to her emotional landscape.
