Lana Del Rey - Gramma (video and lyrics)

Before there was Lana Del Rey, there was Lizzy Grant and she showed real promise with her first album. The song Gramma is the highlight of her first effort. The album was only available briefly before being pulled, and taken out of circulation. Elizabeth Grant, her father and new team wanted it out of circulation. Lizzy Grant then became Lana Del Rey and shot to superstardom with the release of Born To Die. Lana has said that she wanted to re-record the album. Fans are still waiting for this to happen. I could see how the other tracks could be improved upon with a Born To Die production, but I don't think she will be able to make this song any better than it already is.


Gramma


Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
Gramma said the flags are waving for me
Gramma said that somewhere out there there's a good man
Waiting for me
A-M-E-R-I-C-A
All I want to do is play
See the city every day
Pretty party nation
Tell me that you think I'm good
Happy that I make you glad
Cause I don't want to think I'm bad, Gramma
I don't want to think I'm bad
Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
Gramma said the flags are waving for me
Gramma said that somewhere out there there's a good man
Waiting for me
Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
Don't you know, you don't need a thing?
Gramma said that somewhere out there there's a good man
Waiting for me
T-R-O-U-B-L-E
Trouble's what feels good to me
Crazy as since I was three
Now I'm out to get you
But I been better lately, Ma
And I'm in love with everyone
And I don't want to think I'm wrong
Just for feeling pretty
Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
Gramma said the flags are waving for me
Gramma said that somewhere out there there's a good man
Waiting for me
Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
Gramma said the flags are waving for me
Gramma said that somewhere out there there's a good man
Waiting for me
I want to be the whole world's girl, Gramma
I want to be the whole world's girl
I want to be the whole world's girl, Gramma
Tell me do you think that's wrong?
Don't cry, honey, crazy girl
Don't you know you are the world?
Every time you feel unsure
Try remember what you are
Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
Gramma said the flags are waving for me
Gramma said that somewhere out there there's a good man
Waiting for me
Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
Honey, don't you know you have everything?
Gramma said that somewhere out there there's a good man
Waiting for me
Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
Gramma said the flags are waving for me
Gramma said that somewhere out there there's a good man
Waiting for me
