Kinda Outta Luck
Lana Del Rey · Other Songs - Lana Del Rey
But then I met you
You made me nice for a while
But my dark side's true
You never cared what I did at all
Motel singer at a silver ball
I did what I had to do...
Femme fatale, always on the run
Diamonds on my wrist, whiskey on my tongue
Before I get bad, I gotta get drunk
So get over here, pour me a cold one
Babe, you can see that I'm danger
Teetering off of the stage, yeah
Sparkling in sequins, say "Hey, yeah"
Time to give in to the kindness of strangers
Is it wrong-wrong that I think it's kinda fun
When I hit you in the back of the head with a gun?
My daddy's in the trunk of his brand new truck
I really want him back, but I'm flat outta luck
Is it wrong-wrong that I think it's kinda fun
When I hit you in the back of the head with a gun?
My daddy's in the trunk of his brand new truck
I really want him back, but I'm kinda outta luck
Wrong, I know, killing someone
It gets a little easier when you've done it once
You know that I'm fun, you know that I'm young
So tell me you're mine
Let's get it on
Babe, you can see that I'm danger
Glamorous bred, I'm deranged, yeah
Teetering off of the stage, yeah
I said it really nice, I said can you be my savior?
Is it wrong-wrong that I think it's kinda fun
When I hit you in the back of the head with a gun?
My daddy's in the trunk of his brand new truck
I really want him back, but I'm flat outta luck
Is it wrong-wrong that I think it's kinda fun
When I hit you in the back of the head with a gun?
My daddy's in the trunk of his brand new truck
I really want him back, but I'm kinda outta luck
I was a dangerous girl
You were too nice for this world
And now I'm back on the prowl
Who wants to give it a whirl?
Is it wrong-wrong that I think it's kinda fun
When I hit you in the back of the head with a gun?
My daddy's in the trunk of his brand new truck
I really want him back, but I'm flat outta luck
Is it wrong-wrong that I think it's kinda fun
When I hit you in the back of the head with a gun?
My daddy's in the trunk of his brand new truck
I really want him back, but I'm kinda outta luck
