Lana Del Rey wrote the song with co-writer Justin Parker after he played her the piano chords that would become the song's backbone. Lana Del Rey’s lyrics were inspired by two broken relationships in her past. In an interview for British online magazine The Quietus, Del Rey stated that the inspiration for the song came from her ex-boyfriend, commenting, "I think we came together because we were both outsiders. It was perfect. But I think with that contentment also comes sadness. There was something heavenly about that life – we'd go to work and he'd play his video games – but also it was maybe too regular."
Lyrics:
[Verse 1] Swingin' in the backyard, pull up in your fast car Whistlin' my name Open up a beer and you say, "Get over here" And play a video game I'm in his favorite sundress, 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 a video game [Pre-Chorus] It's you, it's you, it's all for you Everything I do I tell you all the time [Chorus] Heaven is a place on Earth with you Tell me all the things you wanna 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 And baby, now, you do Hmm, mmm [Verse 2] Singin' in the old bars, swinging with the old stars Livin' for the fame Kissin' in the blue dark, playing pool and wild darts And video games He holds me in his big arms, drunk and I am seeing stars This is all I think of Watchin' all our friends fall in and out of Old Paul's This is my idea of fun Playing video games [Pre-Chorus] It's you, it's you, it's all for you Everything I do I tell you all the time [Chorus] Heaven is a place on Earth with you Tell me all the things you wanna 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 And baby, now, you do [Post-Chorus] (N-now, you do, now, you do, now, you do) (N-now, you do, now, you do, now, you do) [Pre-Chorus] It's you, it's you, it's all for you Everything I do I tell you all the time [Chorus] Heaven is a place on Earth with you Tell me all the things you wanna 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 And baby, now, you do [Post-Chorus] (N-now, you do, now, you do, now, you do) Hmm, mmm, now, you do (N-now, you do, now, you do, now, you do)
