Lyrics :

"Swinging in the backyard
Pull up in your fast car
Whistling my name

Open up a beer
And you say, "Get over here
And play a video game."

I'm in his favorite sun dress
Watching me get undressed
Take that body downtown

I say, "You the bestest."
Lean in for a big kiss
Put his favorite perfume on

Go play a video game

It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby, now you do

Singing in the old bars
Swinging with the old stars
Living for the fame

Kissing in the blue dark
Playing pool and wild darts
Video games

He holds me in his big arms
Drunk and I am seeing stars
This is all I think of

Watching all our friends fall
In and out of Old Paul's
This is my idea of fun
Playing video games

It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby, now you do

Now you do
Now you do
Now you do

Now, now you do
Now you do
Now you do

It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby, now you do

Now, Now you do
Now you do
Now you do
(Now you do)
Now, Now you do
Now you do
Now you do"


This song is purely love. I feel like Lana was so in love when she wrote it and this is her ideal image of love, playing video games, innocent kisses and all the things that young people do when when they are in love. She would kill, would die for the person she is in love with.

My favourite part of the song is :

"Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?"

Heaven is a place on earth with him, this is so beautiful and soft and it feels like she didn't even have to think about some lyrics that show how in love she was, she just wrote what she felt. She would be bad for him and do everything that makes him happy. The piano gives it such a beautiful vibe, too.

The music video is a home-made one, just a bunch of old-school videos, Lana singing (and being gorgeous as always) and just expressing LOVE.

I have to add, this is one of my favourite songs ever, it's like it will never get old, it's pure, full of life and feelings.


I hope that you will listen to it;

thank you so much for reading;
