What are the lyrics to The Weeknd’s song Take my Breath?

I saw the fire in your eyes
I saw the fire when I look into your eyes
You tell me things you wanna try (Uh)
I know the temptation is the devil in disguise
You risk it all to feel alive, oh yeah
You’re offering yourself to me like sacrifice
You said you do this all the time

Tell me you love me if I bring you to the light

It’s like a dream what she feels with me
She loves to be on the edge
Her fantasy is okay with me
Then suddenly, baby says

Take my breath away
And make it last forever, babe
Do it now or never, babe (Ah)
Take my breath away
Nobody does it better, babe
Bring me close to—

Want me to hold onto you tight
You pull me closer, feel the heat between your thighs (Uh, say)
You’re way too young to end your life (Huh)
Girl, I don’t wanna be the one who pays the price

Ooh, it’s like a dream what she feels with me
She loves to be on the edge
Her fantasy is okay with me
Then suddenly, baby says

Take my breath away
And make it last forever, babe
Do it now or never, babe (Ah)
Take my breath away
Nobody does it better, babe
Bring me close to heaven, babe (Uh)
Take my breath

Oh, oh-ooh
And they’ll see me
Oh-ooh, ooh (Yeah, say)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh

Take my breath away (Take my breath away)
And make it last forever, babe
Do it now or never, babe (Ah)
Take my breath away (Take my breath away)
Nobody does it better, babe
Bring me close to heaven, babe (Take my breath)
Take my breath (Take my breath a—, breath away)

(Nobody)
Take my breath (Take my breath a—, breath away)
Nobody does it better, babe
Bring me close to heaven, babe (Uh)
Take my breath

Are Angelina Jolie and The Weeknd dating?

Angelina reportedly spent hours at a restaurant with the artist before both left separately “to avoid raising suspicion.”

They were caught red handed leaving the Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi and have not said a word about their outing since.

While it’s possible that this dinner was a date, it was more likely a business meeting according to a source close to The Weeknd quoted by Page Six.

“They’re clearly not trying to hide the dinner date”, the source said, “he’s definitely focused on getting to the movie business. He has the new HBO series he’s starring in.”

A quick reminder: The Weeknd – whose real name is Abel Tesfaye – will star in the HBO Max series The Idol and could have well been asking for acting tips from Brad Pitt’s ex-wife.
