In the car, in the car, in the backseat, I'm your baby
We go fast, we go so fast, we don’t move
I believe in a place you take me
Make you real proud of your baby
In your car, I'm a star and I'm burnin’ through you
In your car, I'm a star and I'm burnin' through you
[Chorus]
Oh, be my once in a lifetime
Lyin' on your chest in my party dress
I'm a fuckin' mess, but I
Oh, thanks for the high life
Baby, it's the best, passed the test and yes
Now I’m here with you, and I
Would like to think that you would stick around
You know that I’d just die to make you proud
The taste, the touch, the way we love
It all comes down to make the sound of our love song
[Verse 2]
Dream a dream, here's a scene
Touch me anywhere ’cause I'm your baby
Grab my waist, don't waste any part
I believe that you see me for who I am
So spill my clothes on the floor of your new car
Is it safe, is it safe to just be who we are?
Is it safe, is it safe to just be who we are?
Oh, be my once in a lifetime
Lyin' on your chest in my party dress
I’m a fuckin' mess, but I
Oh, thanks for the high life
Baby, it's the best, passed the test and yes
Now I'm here with you, and I
Would like to think that you would stick around
You know that I'd just die to make you proud
The taste, the touch, the way we love
It all comes down to make the sound of our love song
The taste, the touch, the way we love
It all comes down to make the sound of our love song
About
“Love song” is an ode to Del Rey’s romantic partner. The lyrics encompass several hallmarks of a classical LDR song, with plenty of references to fast cars, being famous, looking gorgeous, and being hopelessly in love.
The slow tempo and uncomplicated composition of the beat put the words center stage, particularly in the chorus. A soft and constant piano accentuates Del Rey’s vocals, making the track easy on the ear.
The songstress teased a snippet of the song via Instagram on December 31st, 2018, with fans calling it “In Your Car” until its official title was revealed in July 2019 via the Shazam app.

…So I went down there we wrote a song in about half an hour and it was called “Love song”. It was one of those moments, you kinda like when you need a boyfriend that you’re like ‘oh my gosh’ like there’s something really good here, like we should definitely work here…
