“A&W” Lyrics
Song by Lana Del Rey:

[“American Whore”]

I haven’t done a cartwheel since I was nine
I haven’t seen my mother in a long, long time
I mean, look at me, look at the length of my hair, my face, the shape of my body
Do you really think I give a damn what I do after years of just hearing them talking?

I’d say I live in Rosemead, really I’m at the Ramada
It doesn’t really matter, doesn’t really, really matter

Call him up, come into my bedroom
Ended up, we fuck on the hotel floor
It’s not about having someone to love me anymore
This is the experience of being an American whore

Called up one friend, call up another
Forensic Files wasn’t on
Watching Teenage Diary Of A Girl
Wondering what went wrong
I’m a princess, I’m divisive
Ask me why, why, why I’m like this
Maybe I’m just kinda like this
I don’t know, maybe I’m just like this

I’d say I live in Rosemead, really I’m at the Ramada
It doesn’t really matter, doesn’t really, really matter

Call him up, he comes over again
Yeah, I know, I’m over my head, but oh
It’s not about having someone to love me anymore
No, this is the experience of being an American whore

I mean, look at my hair
Look at the length of it there, and the shape of my body
If I told you that I was raped
Do you really think that anybody would think I didn’t ask for it?
I didn’t ask for it
Didn’t testify, already fucked up my story
On top of this, mm
So many other things you can’t believe
Did you know a singer can still be
Looking like a side piece at thirty-three?
God’s a charlatan, don’t look back, babe
Puts the shower on while he calls me
Sneaks out the back door to talk to me
I’m invisible, look how you hold me
I’m invisible, I’m invisible
I’m a ghost now, look how he had me to

It’s not about having someone to love me anymore (Okay)
No, this is the experience of being an American whore
It’s not about having someone to love me anymore
No, this is the experience of being an American whore

[“Jimmy”]

This is the experience of being an American whore
This is the experience of being an American whore
