Behind Closed Doors
Lana Del Rey / Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You could be the one
If you wanna get trashed and have fun
Throw me wholly in the sky like a pizza pie
(Are you crazy?)
You take my whole world, baby
And twist it to the right
Throw me in the air and whoop like dynamite
You know I like โem bad, boy
Wrong side of the track, boy, oh
You know I like โem bad boy, like you
(Like you, you know I do)
I like a man with kick, yeah
So come around and hit me up
No other man can lick me like you
(Like you, you know what you do)
Everybodyโs saying youโre no good for me
But they donโt see the dirty
Stuff you do to me
Tell me I should leave nearly every day
Iโm not gonna do it, baby (no way)
Everybodyโs saying youโre no good for me
But they donโt see the dirty
Stuff you do to me
You only show a little but you give me more
Behind, behind, behind behind closed doors
(No one can see us, I know you like me)
I see my best friends kissing
Touching all the time
But I donโt need no jet to
Write it in the sky
I see it in his eyes, Iโm his cherry pie
You know I like โem bad, boy
They think you make me sad, boy, no
The best I ever had, boy, it's you
(Like you, you know I do)
I want a man that's hot, yeah
To come around and rock me, yeah
No one can dirty talk me
(Like you, you know what you do)
Everybodyโs saying youโre no good for me
But they donโt see the dirty
Stuff you do to me
Tell me I should leave nearly every day
Iโm not gonna do it, baby (no way)
Everybodyโs saying youโre no good for me
But they donโt see the dirty
Stuff you do to me
You only shout a little but you give me more
Behind, behind, behind behind closed doors
Behind closed doors
Everybody's at the park tonight
Everybody's at the shore
Everybody's on the street tonight
What the hell would we do that for?
Everybody's at the park tonight
But we got fireworks galore
Behind closed doors behind closed doors
Everybodyโs saying youโre no good for me
But they donโt see the dirty
Stuff you do to me
Tell me I should leave nearly every day
Iโm not gonna do it, baby (no way)
Everybodyโs saying youโre no good for me
But they donโt see the dirty
Stuff you do to me
You only shout a little but you give me more
Behind, behind, behind behind closed doors
Behind closed doors behind closed doors
