Lana Del Rey - Pawn Shop Blues Lyrics






Well, I didn't know it would come to this
But that's what happens when you're on your own
And you're alright with letting nice things go

Well, I pawned the earrings that you gave me
Gold and made of flowers dangling
And I almost cried as I sold them all
I don't mind living on bread and oranges, no no
But I gotta get to and from where I come
And it's gonna take money to go
Oh no, oh oh, oh oh...

In the name of higher consciousness
I let the best man I knew go
'Cause it's nice to love and be loved
But it's better to know all you can know
I said it's nice to love and be loved
But I'd rather know what God knows
Oh no, oh no, oh no...

I can do this once more
No man can keep me together
Been broken since I was born

Well, I didn't know it would come to this
But that's what happens when you're on your own
And you're alright letting nice things go

  25. A.... B....

    Well, I didn't know it would come to this, but
    That's what happens when you're on your own
    And you're alright with letting nice things go
    Well, I pawned the earrings that you gave me
    Gold and made of flowers dangling
    And I almost cried as I sold them off
    And I don't mind living on bread and oranges, no, no
    But I got to get to and from where I come
    And it's gon' take money to go
    Oh, no
    Oh-oh, oh-ohh, oh-ohh
    Oh-ohh
    In the name of higher consciousness
    I let the best man I knew go
    'Cause it's nice to love and be loved
    But it's better to know all you can know
    I said it's nice to love and be loved
    But I'd rather know what God knows
    Oh, no
    Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no
    Oh, no
    I can't do this once more
    No man can keep me together
    Been broken since I was born
    Well, I didn't know it would come to this, but
    That's what happens when you're on your own
    And you're alright with letting nice things go

  26. B.... U....

    Who’s here saying goodbye to a relationship that never existed in 2019z

  27. S.... D....

    Who would dislike this amazing song ?

  28. G.... A....

    Been broken since I was born.

  29. g.... r....

    I love how fragile and potent this song is. For me it sums up perfectly how it feels to start believing that you should leave your comfort zone for better, that you aren't in the right place, that you should do things for yourself to make you stronger and stop expecting your man to protect you all the time... so you leave.
    You leave because you realize that you don't even know yourself well, and you want to learn everything... and you need to be alone to do so.

    I'm leaving my home city by the end of the year, completely alone. I know i will go to a cold place where it rains and snows all the year, i know i will be lonely and that i'll leave everything and everyone i love behind... but hopefully it will give me time to understand God better.

  30. A.... f....

    Absolutely one of my favorite songs by her. But then again, is there even really a "favorite" in the end? All her songs are just so masterful and touching, you genuinely do fall in love with its beauty eventually. Lana is just that amazing, all-rounded person. She is a real artist we are lucky to have.

  31. h.... a....

    oh the nostalgia. I remember listening to this when I was 15 in hs a bratty, lost, empty minded teenager. Now I'm 20 going to be 21 in a couple of months, still a little lost..but ik where I'm heading

    h.... a....

    I feel this. U got this bro.

  32. D.... ....

    shes sang this 4 times on tour https://www.setlist.fm/stats/lana-del-rey-13d391fd.html

  33. L.... H....

    Norman Fucking Rockwell just released today but this song still her best work ever. The lyrics and how she sing...everything just perfect, what a beautiful sadness.

  34. s.... d....

    Well, I didn't know it would come to this, but
    That's what happens when you're on your own
    And you're alright with letting nice things go
    Well, I pawned the earrings that you gave me
    Gold and made of flowers dangling
    And I almost cried as I sold them off
    And I don't mind living on bread and oranges, no, no
    But I got to get to and from where I come
    And it's gon' take money to go
    Oh, no
    Oh-oh, oh-ohh, oh-ohh
    Oh-ohh
    In the name of higher consciousness
    I let the best man I knew go
    'Cause it's nice to love and be loved
    But it's better to know all you can know
    I said it's nice to love and be loved
    But I'd rather know what God knows
    Oh, no
    Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no
    Oh, no
    I can't do this once more
    No man can keep me together
    Been broken since I was born
    Well, I didn't know it would come to this, but
    That's what happens when you're on your own
    And you're alright with letting nice things go

  35. s.... r....

    What does her necklace say ? X

  36. J.... T....

    I swear the humming at the end (3:13-3:20) is such a mood. It could be on a loop and I’d be happy

  37. t.... r....

    This is my favorite Lana song

  38. T.... S....

    Just broke up with an amazing man

  39. J.... B....

    Anyone listening August 2019!??

  40. S.... M....

    and that’s on periodt

  41. C.... ....

    Honestly her simple guitar songs are better than all her others. She has such soul and character that she puts into these songs.

  42. m.... ....

    I’m just really sad scared and sorry

  43. i.... m....

    my favourite lyrics _its nice to love and to be loved but i rather know what God knows_

    Lana.... you...

  44. t.... l....

    I REALLY WANT HER TO RELEASE THIS ON NFR UGHHH

  45. G.... M....

    chorando ate hoje

  46. M.... ....

    Guys I just sae her live and it was fucking incredible! This song is making so emotional... FUCK!

  47. L.... H....

    Best song ever.

  48. W.... 7....

    A treat spread the love

  49. W.... 7....

    Tell 61 25

  50. G.... g....

    This song is too fucking much for my poor heart

  51. S.... A....

    Super duper love this one.

  52. J.... M....

    This song would go really well with Norman fucking Rockwell 💎🌈

  53. J.... C....

    She sounds like she is going to cry throughout this whole song,

  54. A.... ....

    Late to the party but I think she is selling her things to buy drugs. "Its nice to love and be loved, but its better to know what god knows".

    A.... ....

    No, just for being educated in a School

    A.... ....

    @Cinnamon Boy haha its all up to your interpetation and idk what school you went to but they didnt teach me anything god knows

    A.... ....

    @Amanuel oh my Lana, you don't understand. "Know what Gods know" It's about knowledge. In this song he talks about leaving his man to move forward with his life and learn more about the world. even if to achieve this he needs to leave the people he appreciates, sell his most precious things and beg for bread and oranges. Also, when you do drugs do you know what God knows? what the hell.

    A.... ....

    @Cinnamon Boy you dont need to sell your stuff and live on bread and oranges to move on. As I said its open for interpatations though. And yes you know a lot of stuff in drugs lol

    A.... ....

    @Amanuel you need to do it when you are poor. And OMG druggy

  55. K.... O....

    this song makes me cry so much and feel so euphoric at the same time

  56. F.... i....

    why was this not released!

  57. F.... V....

    ive moved from my old small home town, ive lost eevrything i love, this makes me cry s hard

    F.... V....

  60. G.... V....

    I can do this once more no man can keep me together been broken since i was born

  61. S.... G....

    I remember writing this song and singing it. It’s special to me!

  62. l.... ....

  66. 1.... B....

    When in real life there’s really no such thing as a fuckin chorus .... I cried so hard I lost my soul ...oh no oh noo oh nooooo

  67. D.... ....

    This is the first song I heard by her back in 2012. I'm so happy I finally found it again, it's a masterpiece

  68. T.... W....

    Lana and Elliott Smith are the only two artists I know that have more unreleased than regular songs.

  69. E.... O....

    Lana has a very beautiful soul... it seems like she’s ahead by a century 💕

  70. d.... ....

    I so wish a.k.a Lizzy Grant was on Spotify, it's possibly her most original and captivating work.

  71. A.... M....

    2019 anyone???? ❤️ these unreleased songs are too good! If she came out with an album it’d win a Grammy

  72. s.... r....

    i would play this while looking outside at my boyfriend driving away from my house now i dont see him that much anymore and this song always gives me the same feeling as seeing him drive away that sadness i felt in my heart, i miss him always

  73. M.... F....
