"Me & My Boyfriend" (not to be confused with "Marilyn") is an unreleased song by Lana Del Rey. While a live rehearsal of the song has surfaced, a studio version produced by David Kahne has been confirmed to exist, but remains unleaked. It is speculated to be an outtake from Lana Del Ray.[S 1]
Background[]
The song was recorded in a rehearsal session with The Rich Whores, a band that featured her boyfriend at the time, Arthur Lynn. Other songs recorded in the 2007 session include "Trees", "Yayo", "Brite Lites", and "Disco". On June 13, 2016, a snippet of the rehearsal leaked on Instagram, alongside snippets of the four other songs from the session. All five songs from the rehearsal would eventually leak on March 5, 2020.
Live performance[]
On May 12, 2024, a video cassette tape was uploaded for sale on eBay, described as being the full footage from Del Rey's July 9, 2007 performance at The Cutting Room in New York City. The listing was taken down before being sold. On July 24, the seller uploaded a clip of Del Rey performing this song to YouTube, while simultaneously announcing a digital streaming event of Del Rey's full set. The performance of "Yayo" has previously leaked, albeit in low quality.

Lyrics[]
Me and my boyfriend, we are a new kind of fun
He dyes his hair black, I dye my hair platinum blonde
We are aware that we are trying to become
Elvis and Marilyn
Marilyn, Marilyn
Marilyn, Marilyn, ooh
Me and my boyfriend, we are fighting a lot
We don't have nothing, we live our life in the sun
He gets so high and I dream on fire
Oh, I get home and my baby is high
Marilyn, Marilyn
Marilyn, ooh
Faster, faster, faster, kid
Nobody loves you just how I like you
Faster, faster, faster, kid
Nobody knows I love you like this
Faster, faster, faster, kid
Nobody knows how much I love you
Faster, faster, faster, kid
Nobody knows, oh, come on
Oh, God
Oh, Marilyn, Marilyn
Marilyn
Me and my boyfriend, we get in trouble a lot
I don't know why but he has this thing with a cop
I don't know nothing I think I know
I know he's so foul but I like him a lot
Marilyn, Marilyn
Marilyn, Marilyn
Ooh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ooh, ooh, ahh, ahh
Me and my boyfriend
Me and my boyfriend
Me and my boyfriend
