Cross-references

It is possible that the lyric "see you later, alligator" is in reference to the same line from the 1997 film adaptation of Vladimir Nabokov's novel "Lolita", which has an obvious influence over Del Rey's work.

Lyrics

Don't say "I'll see you later, alligator."
So cute when you know it's not true
I know you're seein' her, but you could still see me too
If you wanted to, baby

I know they say I'm cheap and you're two-timin' me
That's what you get, we're in the twenty-first century
So much for chivalry, I know you'll come to me
I have a way with men like you, baby

You're all I wanted, boy
I never needed anybody else
Your logic's flawed
And you've been tellin' lies to yourself

When you gonna let your little baby come on, come to you, yeah?
When you gonna let me drive you crazy like nobody do?

You're all I needed, boy
I never needed anybody else
I know you're scared to see me
Only and nobody else

But when you gonna love your baby?
When you gonna love your baby?

I did the playboy dip that made us famous
And you was watchin' there with your crew
I should've known just by the circumstances and who
I was meetin' you through that you were bad news

I know it's not the way most people meet, but, hey
We're livin' in the fast lane, postmodern day
You're not sure you can change or get out of the game
You're not the only one I've heard say, "maybe."

You're all I wanted, boy
I never needed anybody else
Your logic's flawed
And you've been tellin' lies to yourself

When you gonna let your baby tie you up and drive you crazy?

You're all I needed, boy
I never needed anybody else
I know you're scared to see me
Only and nobody else

But when you gonna love your baby?
When you gonna love your baby?
