Lyrics Fishtail - Lana Del Rey

Don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair, babe
If you don't really care
You wanted me sadder, you wanted me sadder
Fishtail is the matter, like that, ah-ah-ah

Skipping rope in the bayou, bayou
Slip softly into rain
Not that smart but I've got things to say
Palm trees in black and white
I like to watch them sway
You're so funny, I wish I could skinny-deep inside your mind

Lately I've been thinking about how things used to be
Swinging in a nightgown underneath the old oak tree
Almost victorian with you, you can talk to me
But lately, I can't see

You wanted me sadder
You wanted me sadder, baby
Can't you see it?
For me, you are the one
And if I'm not the one for you
Don't you see it?
I was on the stairs
Ella Fitzgerald in the air
Feelin' hella rare
Baby, if you care

Baby, don't you dare say
You'll braid my hair, babe
Don't you dare say
That you'll braid my hair
Babe, if you don't really care
You wanted me sadder

Dancing there in the hot out sun
I know that we've got problems
I plan to address them another day
Palm trees in black and white
I see in technicolor
Maybe I'll take my glasses off so I'll stop painting red flags green
Lately I've been sunning in the L.A. river bed

Wearing nothing but the summer bruises on my knees
I like how you talk, how you speak, how you look at me
But lately, I can't see

You wanted me sadder
You wanted me sadder
You wanted me sadder (baby, can't you see it)
For me, you are the one
If I'm not the one for you
Don't just see it?
I was on the stairs
Ella Fitzgerald in the air

Feelin' hella rare
Baby, if you care
Baby, don't you dare stay
You'll braid my hair
See, baby, if you care
Then, baby, don't you dare say (baby, don't you ever say that you don't really care)

(Don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair, babe)
You get home tonight
You don't really care
Yeah, don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair, babe
I don't really care, so

Don't you braid my hair
If you're not coming home to me
Ahh

You want someone sadder
Skipping rope in the bayou, bayou
Slip softly into rain
I'm not that smart
But I've got things to say
