Lolita
by Lana Del Rey

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

Mr. Oopsie doopsie

Maybe they get more views is because the music videos are put in the playlist for the album

i just saw and read lolita which is the book that shes getting the refrences from and omgg

its a book about the perspective of a pedophile and he makes it look like LO is seducting him.
totally recomend it, it's free on youtube

@Katie H. This is absolutely not the conclusion to draw from a book with an unreliable narrator who is trying to twist your perspective to believe a child can consent. You fell for Humbert Humbert's sweet, sick poetry. Lolita's life was destroyed by him. I used to like Lana, but looking back, songs like this are really messed up because they portray a little girl as a sexual agent, which will never be the case. Humbert is a pedophile. There's no way to get around that. Maybe you need better reading comprehension with interpreting between the lines???

louise MeLEnDi That’s actually not what the book is about. Nabokov, the author, stated the book is about how sometimes the line between right and wrong is blurred. Because Humbert is not attracted to little girls, he’s searching for something to fill the void stemming from the mourning of a tragically lost life and (wrongly) finds it within a girl who bares a striking resemblance to his past love, but hasn’t hit a legal age. She, who is going through puberty, develops feelings as well, and he (instead of doing the right thing and waiting a few years) pursues it. Thus, forever ruining his life, and her life as well as perception of what is right and wrong when it comes to love (example: her running off and leaving Humbert to be with a man she claims to love who videotapes and collects child pornography). According to Nabokov, it’s hard for the readers to paint Humbert as a monster, because side by side to the child pornographer, he isn’t. He’s a man who made a wrong decision and as a result ruined two lives forever. You should look up some of the things Nabokov has written in regards to Lolita, it’s a super interesting perspective coming from the author! Did you enjoy the movie and the book? I haven’t watched the original movie, but I’ve watched the 1997 version and read the book.

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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)

[Chorus]
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 stay
No more skipping rope
Skipping heartbeats with the boys downtown
Just you and me feeling the heat
Even when the sun goes down

[Verse 2]
I could be yours, I could be your baby tonight
Topple you down from your sky 40 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

[Pre-Chorus]
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)

[Chorus]
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 stay
No more skipping rope
Skipping heartbeats with the boys downtown
Just you and me feeling the heat
Even when the sun goes down

[Bridge]
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

Because I know that it's l-o-v-e
You make me happy, you make me happy
And I never listen to anyone

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”

Lolita
Written by Vladimir Nabokov,
Based on the Sally Horner abduction by the pedophile, Frank La Salle on the afternoon of June 13, 1948, in Camden, New Jersey. Sally Horner died in a horrific car crash a few years after her escape from captivity. Sally Horner had lived in a trailer park in New Jersey with her abductor. · Lana Del Rey?

More info. read "The Real Lolita" By Sarah Weinman. The Real Lolita is a horror story, not a sexy Hollywood movie being flouted in this piece of shite and an insult to Carol Starts, Sally Horner's Best friend.

tayegan bradshaw

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

@tayegan bradshaw 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

tayegan bradshaw

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

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

tayegan bradshaw

Rin Boyd ohhh ok I thought you were tryna say she was also at fault for his actions

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.

Friedrich Nietzsche

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.
