Lolita
Lana Del Rey Lyrics

Would you be mine, would you be my baby tonight?
Could be kissing my fruit punch lips in the bright sunshine
'Cause I like you quite a lot, everything you got, don't you know?
It's you that I adore, though I make the boys fall like dominoes

Kiss me in the D-A-R-K dark tonight
D-a-r-k do it my way
Kiss me in the P-A-R-K park tonight
P-a-r-k let them all say

Hey Lolita, hey
Hey Lolita, hey
I know what the boys want, I'm not gonna play
Hey Lolita, hey
Hey Lolita, hey
Whistle all you want but I'm not gonna say

No more skipping rope, skipping heart beats with the boys downtown
Just you and me feeling the heat even when the sun goes down

I could be yours, I could be your baby tonight
Topple you down from your sky forty stories high
Shining like a God, can't believe I caught you and so
Look at what I bought, not a second thought, oh, Romeo

Kiss me in the D-A-R-K dark tonight
D-a-r-k do it my way
Kiss me in the P-A-R-K park tonight
P-a-r-k let them all say

Hey Lolita, hey
Hey Lolita, hey
I know what the boys want, I'm not gonna play
Hey Lolita, hey
Hey Lolita, hey
Whistle all you want but I'm not gonna say

No more skipping rope, skipping heart beats with the boys downtown
Just you and me feeling the heat even when the sun goes down

I want my cake and I want to eat it too
I want to have fun and be in love with you
I know that I'm a mess with my long hair
And my suntan, short dress, bare feet
I don't care what they say about me, what they say about me
Because I know that it's L-O-V-E
You make me happy, you make me happy
And I never listen to anyone

Let them all say

Hey Lolita, hey
Hey Lolita, hey
I know what the boys want, I'm not gonna play
Hey Lolita, hey
Hey Lolita, hey
Whistle all you want but I'm not gonna say

No more skipping rope, skipping heart beats with the boys downtown
Just you and me feeling the heat even when the sun goes down

The reason why this version of the song is so underated is because the ones with the "music videos" have the millions of views

Leah Lincoln

49w↑24

i don’t think that this was meant to say “omg guys a 12 year old with a 30 year old is totally ok bc it’s aesthetic!!” at all. i think she’s comparing when a women chooses to be with a more mature man, people often make fun of her or call her a sugar baby or something, to the story. as if saying f*ck you to the people that compare those consensual relationships that might have an age gap (even tho both are over 18) to lolita. that’s just my opinion idk

@Leah Lincoln Yeah it does, my bad! Your interpretation is pretty interesting!

Leah Lincoln

48w↑5

Xxx xX yeah i know! what i meant to say was that in my personal interpretation, she’s not romanticizing the relationship between lolita and humbert, but rather talking about how many people exaggerate age gap relationships and compare it to the story. i hope this clears my comment up a little haha :)

dead inside

48w↑13

This song is actually based on a book with the same title, which is supposed to take the pov of an unreliable adult male protagonist pursuing a 12 year old. The song is what Humbert thinks goes into Lolita's mind as their 'relationship' progresses.
However, I do see what you're tryna say and you can feel free to interpret the song in that way if you want!

LOL. It gets even more awkward listening to this song in light of current events here in the United States. Look up "Jeffrey Epstein" and his private jet nicknamed "Lolita Express".

Amari Roach

2y↑52

orangecrxsh I disagree , she’s not making light of a touchy subject . (I forgot his name so let’s call him predator) the point of view in the movie is from the predator so in this song she is singing what “Lolita would say” from the movies pov aka the predators who is a unreliable protagonist . So I don’t think the song is making “light”

Rin Boyd RIGHT? Look I don’t care how hot Humbert is, Pedophilia is disgusting whether or not the abuser is hot or not! That’s not some sort of “pass” when you do something wrong. And I hate how some people try to pin it on her too by saying “she was also being flirtatious” once again, SHES A CHILD. I can’t stress that enough. Does no one understand that the story was from HIS POV and how she was manipulated??

Rin Boyd

1y↑1

@what lmao Literally same. I saw people talking about the movie like that in the trailer comments, and the movie makes it look that way itself. It's sickening

what lmao

Rin Boyd what disturbs me the most is that there’s people that look at this story and is like “he loves her sm omgggg” um no. I can’t believe that some people don’t find it disgusting??? But instead they romanticize it. That honestly scares me more than the book does.

Rin Boyd

@what lmao nah
But I must admit, even though this is irrelevant, having unreliable narrators is riveting. (except when it happens to be a nastyass predator)

Its about a 37 year old man becoming obsessed with a 12 year old girl and trying to keep her as his own lover after her mom dies. He travels across america with her to keep her away from any other boys or adults she could talk to. At first lo was liked him and was flirty with him like in this song but then she feels used and sexually abused and uncomfortable around him because she is so young

Tasia B

1y↑3

Probably one of my least favorite songs by her tbh. I love her as an artist and I think she has an angelic voice but this romanticism of pedophilia and child grooming is not it. I don't know why people think this is cute lmaooo.

party like it's 1949

1y↑1

You explained this so well! I feel like it could even be a metaphor about her being in a relationship with an older man, y'know?

Lupercalia 76

1y↑12

This really isn't a romanticism of anything. It's based on the book/movie Lolita, which I'm sure you know, and in both the perspective is of the predator. Multiple times Humbert seems to think his victim is attracted to him, which we can't know is true because we never get Dolores' point of view. We can assume this song is also from the predator's point of view, what the predator thinks "Lolita"'s thought process is.

The line "I know what the boys want, I'm not gonna play", among others, demonstrates this pretty well. Lolita has a disinterest in boys, the predator reads this as teasing. Same thing happens in the book.

I don't see how that's romanticism of pedophilia, it's just demonstrating how predators twist narratives to suit themselves.

brooke !

1y↑3

yikes... isn't this song glorifying pedophilia? or at the very least it's making light of a very serious topic... it's a no from me

Silkyslleep

52w↑11

No, the book and movie this song is inspired by are from the perspective of the pedophile, which helps bring light to how pedophiles twist things in their heads to create a false romance. It isn't glorifying because the consumers are supposed to use their own morality to understand why the actions of the main character are not excusable. I read somewhere that the book was written with the influence of psychological studies as well. The song's lyrics can also describe the current definition of a Lolita which is a promiscuous young woman.
