Sad Girl Lyrics

Lyric discussion by musicloverr23 

Cover art for Sad Girl lyrics by Lana Del Rey

lana references the suspicions that a partner is cheating in this when she says ‘his bonnie on the side’ referencing to bonnie and clyde, showing how the unnamed ‘he’ has a relationship with this girl which is unstoppable, she’s like his ‘partner in crime’. the unnamed bonnie on the side is also the speaker lana is showing in ‘the other woman’, something i dont think a lot of people realise. towards the end of the song lana says, ‘i’m on fire…… he’s got the fire’ showing how the ‘he’ in this scenario sets her metaphorically on fire, not only her feeling captivated by him but also him sabotaging her every time, causing her to feel burning on fire by his cheating on the side, all while loving him.
