Dangerous Girl
Lana Del Rey · Other Songs - Lana Del Rey
Italian aloic
Classical American
And I'm America's sweetheart
Cute, delicious, sweet tart
Sipping on my Diet Coke
Singin' in the trailer park
He likes my jeans tight (yes)
He likes me mean, right? (Right)
He likes my long hair
Corset, heels high
I'm born to kill
Strip for success
I'm his, sweet mess
Do you love me? Yes, yes!
Hell, yes!
Baby, I'm a forlorn on fire
And I'm what you desire
Like a siren in the night (going neo neo)
Baby, you's a man on a wire
Risking all that you've got
For the love of your life (you're my hero, hero)
Let me be your dangerous girl
Let me be your dangerous girl
Let me be your dangerous girl
Let me be your dangerous girl
He's the get rich quick type
Mafioso hit type
Girl, I'm gonna marry him
I'm the bad girl next door
Baby's always wantin' more
Buyin' diamond jewelry
Take me to the Jersey Shore
He like my mink white (white)
We go out all night (night)
We're living off the grid
Shining in the crime light
We were born to kill
Best of the best
The new Wild West
Let me put on that party dress
Hell, yes!
Baby, I'm a forlorn on fire
And I'm what you desire
Like a siren in the night (going neo neo)
Baby, you's a man on a wire
Risking all that you've got
For the love of your life (you're my hero, hero)
Let me be your dangerous girl
Let me be your dangerous girl
Let me be your dangerous girl
Let me be your dangerous girl
You know my baby plan, world domination
Together taking over our fair nation
'Cause we're born to kill
Keepin' it fresh
Gold chain, white mesh
Fame is the name of the game, yes, yes!
(Yes, yes, yes, yes)
Baby, I'm a forlorn on fire
And I'm what you desire
Like a siren in the night (going neo neo)
Baby, you's a man on a wire
Risking all that you've got
For the love of your life (you're my hero, hero)
Baby, I'm a forlorn on fire
And I'm what you desire
Like a siren in the night (going neo neo)
Baby, you's a man on a wire
Risking all that you've got
For the love of your life (you're my hero, hero)
Let me be your dangerous girl
Let me be your dangerous girl
Let me be your dangerous girl
Let me be your dangerous girl
Baby, I'm a forlorn on fire
And I'm what you desire
Like a siren in the night (going neo neo)
Baby, you's a man on a wire
Risking all that you've got
For the love of your life (you're my hero, hero)
Let me be your dangerous girl
Let me be your dangerous girl
Let me be your dangerous girl
Let me be your dangerous girl
Dangerous Girl
Lana Del Rey's 'Dangerous Girl' stands as a quintessential example of her cinematic pop aesthetic, blending melancholic vocals with lush, retro-inspired production. Released during the height of her 'Born to Die' era, the track embodies the gothic romanticism that defines her discography, evoking themes of heartbreak and self-destructive allure. The song's atmospheric arrangement and Del Rey's emotive delivery create a haunting soundscape that has become a staple of her live performances and visual media. It reflects the broader cultural fascination with 1950s nostalgia filtered through a modern lens of emotional vulnerability, cementing her status as a defining voice in indie pop and art rock. The recording captures a specific moment in her career where she fully embraced the persona of the tragic, glamorous figure, influencing countless subsequent artists in the dream-pop genre.
