Lana Del Rey - Pawn Shop Blues lyrics

rate me

Well, I didn't know it would come to this

But that's what happens when you're on your own

And you're alright letting nice things go.

Well, I pawned the earrings that you gave me

Gold and made of flowers dangling

And I almost cried as I sold them all

And I don't mind living on bread and oranges, no no

But I gotta get to and from where I come

And it's gonna take money to go

Oh no, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

In the name of higher consciousness

I let the best man I knew go

'cause it's nice to love and be loved

But it's better to know all you can know

I said it's nice to love and be loved

But I'd rather know what god knows

Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no...

I can do this once more

No man can keep me together

Been broken since I was born.

Well, I didn't know it would come to this

But that's what happens when you're on your own

And you're alright letting nice things go.
