Lyrics[]

I learned how to make love from the movies
Catch me a-waitressin' up Ruby Tuesday’s
Says he wants to buy me and a white milkshake
I’ll serve you up a special side of heartbreak

Betty Lou’s working down at the Friendly’s
Met a millionaire while she was serving him pancakes
She served her baby a Coke and went outside for a smoke
Before you kiss the alligator, don’t ask to see him later, oh

I learned how to make love from the movies
Catch me a-waitressin' up Ruby Tuesday’s
Says he wants to buy me and a white milkshake (Ooh!)
I’ll serve you up a special side of heartbreak

She said, "Lana Rey, you gotta do what I say
My man is sending his buddy Ray over your way
He knows you’re bad to the bone and that you never come home
But he saw you in a picture and he really wants to meet ya
So if you see him, just do what I say"
I said, "Okay"

I learned how to make love from the movies
Catch me a-waitressin' up Ruby Tuesday’s
Says he wants to buy me and a white milkshake
I’ll serve you up a special side of heartbreak

He’s my rodeo king and I’m his Alabama
Diamond horseshoe ring and I know how my man-uh
Likes it, likes it, likes it, ahh
