Ocean, Frank - American Wedding Lyrics






i took a walk with the palm trees as the daylight fell
sangria in a canteen
talking to myself
this tattoo on my left hand
is turning purple-ish blue
daydreams of the romance
daydreams of you
my pretty woman in a ballgown
i'm richard gere in a tux
getting married in a courthouse
writing vows in a rush
making out before the judge
with my teenage wife
got a wedding band done
that i just might die with

it's an american wedding
they don't mean too much
but we were so in love
we had an american wedding
now what's mine is yours
thats american law

m-r- s dot kennedy
she signed her name in pen
in a fancy fancy cursive
then turned her term papers in
a thesis on islamic virgin brides and arranged marriage
hijabs and polygamist husbands
those poor unamerican girls
afterschool she ran to me
jumped in my 5.0
this is the home of the brave
land of the free
but your parents still didn't know
she said i've had a hell of a summer
so baby
don't take this hard
but maybe we should get an annulment
before this goes way to far

it's just an american wedding
they don't mean too much
they don't last enough
we had an american wedding
now what's mine is yours
american divorce

well you can have my mustang
that's all i've got in my name
but jesus christ don't break my heart
this wedding ring won't ever wipe off
but if you stay
girl if you stay
you'll probably leave later anyway
it's love made in the u.s.a

dont let em front you
to saying you cant move without em
fuck em i tell em this aint new
we been some hustlers since it began dude
aint gon' be trippin ova some bitch ass dude
they so vain i tell em this aint you
you keep it sensitive but this aint true
these niggas cant do nothing that i cant do
that she cant
that he cant do
that you cant do
that we cant do
man i had a dream and that shit became true
and nigga if i did it i think you can too
these niggas cant do nothing that i cant do
that she cant
that he cant do
that you cant do
that we cant do
man i had a dream and that shit became true
these niggas cant do nothing that i cant do
that she cant
that he cant do
that you cant do

  15. J.... L....

    I can tell most of you don't research at all smh. You don't need soundcloud or datpiff to look up or download Franks mixtape. https://www.dropbox.com/s/iu9kd1w8afq1koj/nostalgia%2Cultra.%20frankocean.zip

  16. S.... ....

    can someone please explain this song for me?!

    S.... ....

    very breifly , boy and girl gets married, tattoos wedding rings, girl didnt tell parents and wants a annulment, which an annulment establishes that a valid marriage never happened, whereas a divorce does not hide the fact that the marriage ever happened.

    S.... ....

    @BostaGold Story wise yes...

    S.... ....

    @Sheila American Wedding ties the issues marriages in the US and other cultures go through. For example American Weddings "don't mean too much, they don't last enough" He then mentions Islam where marriage depending on where/how its practiced marriage is sacred or a forced event. In essence Frank compares how the perception of marriage is different in the US to the rest of the world. While Voodoo is the opposite where marriage is the most beautiful thing to happen in someone's life. I mention voodoo because his live performance of this song includes voodoo on the end. I'll link that to u.

    chillback00 get off the crack pipe

  23. L.... E....

    Thank u

  24. G.... C....

    I'm 54 and grew up listening to The Eagles. I loved Hotel California and I don't think anyone in the band should be upset when it comes to this song's instrumentals being used by Frank. He did a great job with the lyrics and personally, I love it. I really find it pretty haunting.

    G.... C....

    Yes He Did I Love It

  25. O.... A....

    This got a really good outro

  26. H.... S....

    Did he Debo this beat from hotel California?

    H.... S....

    Pretty much.lol but it was a mixtape so.it really dont matter

    H.... S....

    White Ppl Been Stealing Our Beats/Songs For Years This Man Did An Amazing Job And He Should Of Never Been Sued Its Called Sampling

    H.... S....

    MeikaBlessed DA_BRAIN it’s called copyright infringement no matter what race, religion, or gender. It’s against the law. If you spent time creating a masterpiece instrumental and that beat turned into one of the most iconic songs in your genre you’d be kind of angry if someone just stole it to make there own songs without compensating or even crediting you too.

    H.... S....

    Holly Sterling hotel California is more popular and well known than this song. I doubt they really care

  27. M.... G....

    ❤️Can’t get enough of this song!👌🏾🎉👑

  28. L.... R....

    thought this was a frank ocean Gogol bordello cover got dissapointed

  29. H.... ....

    I'm glad that this talentless hack got sued and lost over this, you don't get to steal someone else's work and call it your own just because you changed the lyrics then claim that you don't owe the original writers of the song royalties because the song was "released (without their permission) for free on a mix tape".


    Frank Ocean is one of the laziest least talented "performers" I have ever seen and his whole attitude during the suit exposed just how much of a disrespectful entitled shithead he really is.

    H.... ....

    Hammerhead547 ok boomer

    H.... ....

    Don Henley was 90% cocaine when he wrote Hotel California

    H.... ....

    yo have you heard nights though? That song alone is better than The Eagles whole discography.

    H.... ....

    @Hammerhead547 I just finished reading everything you stated and I just gotta laugh tbh. I'm just wondering why you're being so toxic saying that people's opinions are worthless cause they enjoy frank oceans music. What led you to think of this ideology and believe it? Also music is subjective and everyone has their own taste in music and stating that someones opinion is worthless cause of the artists they listened to just undermines your own argument sir.

    H.... ....

    @Hammerhead547 i just would like to say that i listen to a lot of the artist you mentioned ( saw judas priest and maiden live) and yet i still appreciate what frank ocean brings to the table. It's all about individual taste in the end and just because you don't think this guy isn't talented a. that doesn't mean it's true and b. that doesn't give you the right to speak of him in such a disrespectful way. case closed.

  30. C.... H....

    I miss this song sooooo much, hopefully it stays on YouTube and not taken down AGAIN!

    C.... H....

    I love it. I just happened to find the track online yesterday before I found this today. All I need to do now is somehow get it into my phone.

    C.... H....

    It’s on sound cloud if it gets deleted again

    C.... H....

    oh oh i have a question:
    what would happen to this channel if youtube has shutted down this video(músic)???
    thxx <3

    C.... H....

    @Guilherme Augusto nothing.

    C.... H....

    @Brak Eastwood thanks..

  31. S.... ....

    Thank you

  32. C.... 2....
