Another hard lesson, stressing, taking personal notes
Remember sweet nothings, like baby, what's the purpose in those?

Lyric Meaning

Iggy’s ‘bout to give us a Lesson in Love 101

…it’s time whip out your notebook and jot some notes down for your own benefit. Just like she did for hers, while learning about the costs of affection.

Iggy’s cleverly trying to throw in a hidden message here… how many of you were taught an equation in Mathematics or a language device in English class, told you would need to know it because of its importance, and then later thought to yourself:

What’s the purpose in knowing this?

When am I ever going to use this?

When am I ever gonna need this in life?"

This is what she is referring to when talking about “sweet nothings” in this Lesson of Love. She is honestly inquiring on what the hell they mean, and why she needs to know what they are; just like any useless lesson learned in school that one might have taken notes on otherwise.

***On a side note: the definition of sweet nothings is “words of affection exchanged by lovers”.
