Party Girl
Lana Del Rey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just out of earshot,
Lookin' at this gangster guy.
Thinkin' he's a hot shot,
Pourin me a big shot,
Tryin' to get me drunk and high.
And he says we'll have a real good time,
well xxo but I want you to know.
Every single night in the lights I'll be sparklin' bright,
I'm just a party girl, tryin to get my drinks for free from you.
If you hold me tight it's alright let the fire ignite,
I'm a party girl, and I'm just warnin' you.
You don't get you just don't get it,
You've already forgotten even though I just said it.
Came tonight to put my work on this play,
Bringin' New York down to san tropez.
You don't get you just don't get it,
You've already forgotten even though I just said it.
I won't fall in love, I won't ever stop, I'm partyin' all night, I'm gonna make it pop.
Kissin on your white yacht
Show me what you got got
play a little rock n' roll.
On an island hop stop, maybe we should dot dot dot
(loose control)
Do you think it's really mean that I'm only on the scene cause I want a little danger boy,
Well xxo but I told you so.
Every single night in the lights I'll be sparklin' bright,
I'm just a party girl, tryin to get my drinks for free from you.
If you hold me tight it's alright let the fire ignite,
I'm a party girl, and I'm just warnin' you.
You don't get you just don't get it,
You've already forgotten even though I just said it.
Came tonight to put my work on this play,
Bringin' New York down to san tropez.
You don't get you just don't get it,
You've already forgotten even though I just said it.
I won't fall in love, I won't ever stop, I'm partyin' all night, I'm gonna make it pop.
It's not about us, just forget about us tonight.
Put your cigarette down baby light up the town,
Beside me.
You don't get you just don't get it,
You've already forgotten even though I just said it.
You don't get you just don't get it,
You've already forgotten even though I just said it.
Came tonight to put my work on this play,
Bringin' New York down to san tropez.
You don't get you just don't get it,
You've already forgotten even though I just said it.
I won't fall in love, I won't ever stop, I'm partyin' all night, I'm gonna make it pop.
The song "Party Girl" by Lana Del Rey is a hedonistic anthem that speaks of a young socialite's pursuit of pleasure and adventure in the wealthy enclaves of America's upper class. The persona in the song is depicted as a "party girl" who is unapologetic in her quest for a good time, even if it involves drugs, sex, and risky behavior. The song sets the scene with the persona standing on a rooftop, looking at a "gangster guy" who is trying to impress her by pouring her a drink and offering to take her for a ride in his limousine.
In the chorus, the persona affirms her identity as a party girl who enjoys being the center of attention and getting her drinks for free. She also warns her potential suitors that she is not looking for a serious relationship, but only wants to have fun. The verses are interspersed with the refrain "You don't get it, you've already forgotten even though I just said it," suggesting that the persona's hedonistic lifestyle is misunderstood or ignored by those around her.
The bridge of the song emphasizes the persona's desire to live in the moment, forget about her problems, and enjoy the company of her friends. She invites her companions to "light up the town" and forget their worries, even if it means engaging in reckless behavior.
