Are You Ready
Lana Del Rey Lyrics

Don't say I'll see you later alligator
Don't pretend we'll meet again, it's insincere

So cute when you know it's not true
It's amusing to see you lying about your feelings

I know you're seeing her
I'm aware that you're dating someone else

But you can still see me, too
But you can also continue seeing me alongside her

If you wanted to, baby
If you truly desired to do so, my love

I know they say I'm cheap
I'm aware of the judgement that labels me as trivial

And you're two-timing me that's what you get
And you're deceiving me by being involved with another person, that's the consequence

We're in the 21st century
We live in a modern era

So much for chivalry
Traditional notions of honor and courtesy have been disregarded

I know you'll come to me
I'm confident that you'll seek me out

I have a way with men like you, baby
I possess an ability to captivate men similar to you, my love

You're all I wanted, boy
You're the only one I desired, my love

I never needed anybody else
I never required someone else in my life

Your logic's flawed and you've been
Your reasoning is faulty and you've been

Telling lies to yourself
Deceiving yourself with false beliefs

When you gonna let your little baby come, oh
When will you allow your beloved to approach you?

Come to you when you gonna let me drive
Come to you, when will you permit me to take control

You crazy like nobody do
Drive you wild as no one else can

When you gonna love your baby?
When will you start truly loving me?

I did the Playboy dip that made us famous
I performed the provocative dance move that brought us fame

And you was watching there with your crew
And you were observing from a distance with your group

I should have known just by
I should have realized solely based on

The circumstances and who
The situation and the type of person

I was meeting you through
I was introduced to you through that connection

That you were bad news
That you were trouble and not to be trusted

I know that's not the way
I'm aware that it's not the typical method

Most people meet but, hey
That most individuals encounter each other, but, hey

We're living in the fast lane
We're currently leading fast-paced lives

Post-modern day
In the present times, characterized by post-modernism

You're not sure you can change
You're uncertain if you can alter yourself

Or get out of the game
Or remove yourself from this situation

You're not the only one
You're not alone in feeling this way

I've heard say, 'Maybe'
I've heard others express doubt as well, saying 'Maybe'

When you gonna let your baby tie
When will you allow your beloved to bind

You up and drive you crazy?
You tightly and passionately, and make you go insane?

You're all I needed boy
You're all I ever required, my love

I never needed anybody else
I never desired anyone else in my life

I know you're scared to see
I'm aware that you're afraid to only see

Me only and nobody else
Me exclusively and without any other person

When you gonna love your baby?
When will you truly love your beloved?

When you gonna love your baby?
When will you finally love your beloved?
