Fucked My Way Up To The Top
Lana Del Rey · Ultraviolence [Deluxe] [2014]
Life is awesome, I confess
What I do, I do best
You got nothing, I got tested
And I'm best, yes
Lay me down tonight in my linen and curls
Lay me down tonight, Riviera girls
[Chorus]
I fucked my way up to the top
This is my show
I fucked my way up to the top
Go, baby, go
This is my show
Go
This is my show
[Verse 2]
I'm a dragon, you're a whore
Don't even know what you're good for
Mimicking me is a fucking bore
To me, but babe
Lay me down tonight in my diamonds and pearls
Tell me songs at night about your favorite girl
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Need you baby, like I breathe you, baby
Need you baby, more, more, more, more
Need you baby, like I breathe you, baby
Said I need you baby, more, more, more more
[Verse 3]
Lay me down tonight in my linen and curls
Lay me down tonight, I'm your favorite girl
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
