Video Games
R.Y. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Swinging in the backyard
Pull up in your fast car whistling my name
Open up a beer
And you say get over here and play a video game
I'm in his favorite sun dress
Watching me get undressed take that body downtown
I say you the bestest
Lean in for a big kiss put his favorite perfume on
Go play your video game
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby now you do
Singing in the old bars
Swinging with the old stars
Living for the fame
Kissing in the blue dark
Playing pool and wild darts
Video games
He holds me in his big arms
Drunk and I am seeing stars
This is all I think of
Watching all our friends fall
In and out of Old Paul's
This is my idea of fun
Playing video games
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby now you do (Now you do)
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you




Baby now you do (Now you do)
Now you do (Now you do)

Overall Meaning

In R.Y.'s song "Video Games," the lyrics tell the story of a passionate, intense, and somewhat volatile relationship. The song starts with the singer describing a carefree moment with her partner, swinging in the backyard. The partner arrives in a fast car, calling her name and inviting her to play a video game while sharing a beer. The lyrics suggest a sense of playfulness and an escape from the outside world.


As the song progresses, the singer expresses her love and devotion to her partner, stating that everything she does is for him. She believes that heaven is a place on earth when she is with him, and she wants to know all of his desires and fantasies. The lyrics hint at a rebellious nature, as she questions whether he likes bad girls and implies that she is better than he ever imagined. The singer believes that the world exists for two people to love each other and that life is only worth living when that love is reciprocated.


The second half of the song takes a darker turn, as the singer reflects on their social life. They are often found singing and swinging in old bars, mingling with famous or influential individuals, and seeking pleasure in unconventional activities like playing pool and wild darts. The singer finds joy in watching their friends fall in and out of love, perhaps relishing in the chaos it brings. Despite this seemingly reckless lifestyle, playing video games with her partner remains the singer's idea of fun.
