Lana Del Rey - Because of You lyrics

rate me

On the streets of LA where the future is now

We dance like nobody's watching us

And we live like we want to

But it can all get a little crazy

Unless there's something to hold onto

For me, that was true love

I was a young girl, selfish and wild like a fire in LA

Hot like the summer and mean like a child

Who keeps crying till she gets her way (like a true star)

There were roses in my hair, rock n roll on blare, and I was in trouble

And no one could rock me like you could.

I was a bad girl gone good!

Chorus:

Look at me now, I have everything

You gave to me and my heart can sing

I was a kid who could only drink

Dance on tables, making deal with devils,

Like a drunk beauty queen

Fighting the fantasy, hooked on the scene,

And it brought me to my knees

And it's all because of you!

(You know what I'm talking about)

It was a mad world, we lived for fun

And we got shit for free

Had a face like an angel,

But inside my heart was as black as a broke movie screen

(It was pretty sad)

But then I saw you standing there, like a millionaire

Give me a number,

Call me before I get stupid

Make me un-crazy like you did!

Chorus:

Look at me now, I have everything

You gave to me and my heart can sing

I was a kid who could only drink

Dance on tables, making deal with devils,

Like a drunk beauty queen

Fighting the fantasy, hooked on the scene,

And it brought me to my knees

And it's all because of you!

(You know what I'm talking about)

It isn't hard to see, you got a hold on me,

Give me your money, love me to death

Talk like a baby, cause I'm so elated,

You tell me that I ain't seen nothing quite yet!

(I don't wanna lose it,

I'm in love, but I didn't choose it! )

Roses in my hair, dancing in the air,

Feels like I'm flying

Tell me you love me, boy, do it

It's just like I thought, I just knew it.

Chorus:

Look at me now, I have everything

You gave to me and my heart can sing

I was a kid who could only drink

Dance on tables, making deal with devils,

Like a drunk beauty queen

Fighting the fantasy, hooked on the scene,

And it brought me to my knees

And it's all because of you!

Yeah, it’s all because of you!
