I'm Indebted To You
Lana Del Rey · Other Songs - Lana Del Rey
What a spectacular red-head
You really seem like a prize to me
And you are so mysterious
When you are not delirious
Oh, what you mean to me
And she said
How do you know me so well
After only one night?
How do I love you? Oh, tell me
With all of my might
I'm indebted to you
I'm indebted to you
Always
There's something she doesn't know about
A secret he doesn't show about
A sensitive sign on his arm
Oh, my
She got her skeletons as well
Some secrets he knows she'll never tell
People who keep her alone
And she said
How did I know you so well?
Why am I not surprised?
He said, "Baby, go to Hell" and
That was the demise of their love
Don't ever pick up the man
If you don't think he'll understand
Don't ever trust yourself if you
Have a history of being a loving fool
So, that's what she got when she married him
A life-time promise to carry him
Him and his every second of need
I do not know you so well
Not more than that one night
Do you still love me? Oh, tell me
With all of your might
I'm indebted to you
I'm indebted to you
My love
I'm Indebted To You
