Lyrics
Final version
Boy, you wanna come to my motel, honey?
Boy, you wanna hold me down, tell me that you love me?
Don't you know that I have really never loved nobody but you?
Boy, you wanna come to my motel, honey?
Boy, you wanna hold me down, tell me that you love me?
Don't you know that I have really never loved nobody but you?
I do my hair up, how high I like
White flowers tied high
Green swimming pool, pink flamingos
High Christmas lights
Blue bed spread and silver tinsel
My heart's delight
Boy, you wanna come to my motel, honey?
Boy, you wanna hold me down, tell me that you love me?
Don't you know that I have really never loved nobody but you?
Boy, you wanna come to my motel, honey?
Boy, you wanna hold me down, tell me that you love me?
Don't you know that I have really never loved nobody but you?
Do you like my fake nails, daddy?
Black palm tree, pink tiger stripes
Used to go to the palm parade, yeah
Where you'd buy me a slice of cherry pie
We didn't know much, just worked at night
Sweet trailer, ooh, one, two
Boy, you wanna come to my motel, honey?
Boy, you wanna hold me down, tell me that you love me?
Don't you know that I have really never loved nobody but you?
Boy you wanna come to my motel, honey?
(Don't you wanna come down?)
Boy, you wanna hold me down, tell me that you love me?
Don't you know that I have really never loved nobody but you?
He said, "Lana Rey,
Will you serve me lemonade?"
I said, "Yes, Bill, I will, it's the day of the parade.
And you look even more handsome than you did the day that I left you."
How do you spend your nights, honey, still watchin' TV?
I long to be in your arms, honey, come back to me, please
Boy, you wanna come to my motel, honey? (mm, ah)
Boy, you wanna hold me down, tell me that you love me?
Don't you know that I have really never loved nobody but you?
Boy you wanna come to my motel, honey?
(Don't you wanna come down?)
Boy, you wanna hold me down, tell me that you love me?
Don't you know that I have really never loved nobody but you?
All I want is to feel good
All I want is to feel good
All I want is to feel good, you know?
(Mm-hmm)
Come on now, if you want to
If you want to, if you want to
If you want to
It's been a long time
Boy, you wanna come to my motel, honey?
(Don't you wanna come down?)
Boy, you wanna hold me down, tell me that you love me?
(That you love me, honey)
Don't you know that I have really never loved nobody but you?
(Such a sweet Mondeo)
Boy you wanna come to my motel, honey?
(Don't you wanna come down?)
Boy, you wanna hold me down, tell me that you love me?
Don't you know that I have really never loved nobody but you?
Demo version
All that's real to me is Marilyn and Jesus
Jumpin' off'a bridges, sparklers and streamers, honey
I wanna fly, I wanna fly, I wanna fly
Boy, you wanna come to my motel, honey?
Boy, you wanna hold me down, tell me that you love me?
Don't you know that I have really never loved nobody but you?
Boy, you wanna come to my motel, honey?
Boy, you wanna hold me down, tell me that you love me?
Don't you know that I have really never loved nobody but you?
All that's real to me is Halloween and Jesus
Coney Island beaches, chandeliers and seizures, honey
I wanna fly, I wanna fly, I wanna fly
I can't be with the man I love
I can't be if he treats me rough
I can't see him, I can't call him up
All that's real to me is trailer parks and beaches
Alabama freezes, platinum and peaches, honey
I wanna fly, I wanna fly, I wanna fly
I can't be with the man I love
I can't be if he treats me rough
I can't see him, I can't call him up
Boy, you wanna come to my motel, honey?
Boy, you wanna hold me down, tell me that you love me?
Don't you know that I have really never loved nobody but you?
Boy, you wanna come to my motel, honey?
Boy, you wanna hold me down, tell me that you love me?
Don't you know that I have really never loved nobody but you?
