Hope Is A Dangerous Thing For A Woman Like Me To Have - But I Have It Lyrics - Lana Del Rey

[Verse 1] 

I was reading Slim Aarons and I got to thinking that I thought 

Maybe I'd get less stressed if I was tested less like 

All of these debutantes 

Smiling for miles in pink dresses and high heels on white yachts 

But I'm not, baby, I'm not 

No, I'm not, that, I'm not 

[Chorus] 

I've been tearing around in my fucking nightgown 

24/7 Sylvia Plath 

Writing in blood on the walls 

'Cause the ink in my pen don't work in my notepad 

Don't ask if I'm happy, you know that I'm not 

But at best I can say I'm not sad 

'Cause hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have 

Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have

[Verse 2] 

I had fifteen-year dances 

Church basement romances, yeah, I've cried 

Spilling my guts with the Bowery Bums 

Is the only love I've ever known 

Except for the stage, which I also call home, when I'm not 

Servin' up God in a burnt coffee pot for the triad 

Hello, it's the most famous woman you know on the iPad 

Calling from beyond the grave, I just wanna say, "Hi, Dad" 

[Chorus] 

I've been tearing up town in my fucking white gown 

Like a goddamn near sociopath 

Shaking my ass is the only thing that's 

Got this black narcissist off my back 

She couldn't care less, and I never cared more 

So there's no more to say about that 

Except hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have 

Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman with my past

[Bridge] 

There's a new revolution, a loud evolution that I saw 

Born of confusion and quiet collusion of which mostly I've known 

A modern day woman with a weak constitution, 'cause I've got 

Monsters still under my bed that I could never fight off 

A gatekeeper carelessly dropping the keys on my nights off 

[Chorus] 

I've been tearing around in my fucking nightgown 

24/7 Sylvia Plath 

Writing in blood on your walls 

'Cause the ink in my pen don't look good in my pad 

They write that I'm happy, they know that I'm not 

But at best, you can see I'm not sad 

But hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have 

Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have 

[Outro] 

Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have 

But I have it 

Yeah, I have it 

Yeah, I have it 

I have
