My Favorite Lyric From Every Lana Del Rey Song (Part 3)

Moody B — Mon, 13 Jan 2025 00:46:18 GMT

You’re likely aware that most of LDR’s songs include several iconic lyrics. I’ve challenged myself to select just one— from every song, off of every album.
Yes, of course in order.
I have also challenged myself to refrain from selecting lyrics that are the same as the title of the track.
