Elizabeth Taylor

Do you think it's forever?

That view of Portofino was on my mind when you called me at the Plaza Athénée

Ooh, oftentimes it doesn't feel so glamorous to be me

All the right guys

Promised they'd stay

Under bright lights

They withered away

But you bloom

Portofino was on my mind and I think you know why

And if your letters ever said, "Goodbye"...

I'd cry my eyes violet

Elizabeth Taylor

Tell me for real

Do you think it's forever?

Been number one but I never had two

And I can't have fun if I can't have...

Be my NY when Hollywood hates me

You're only as hot as your last hit, baby

I been number one but I never had two

And I can't have fun if I can't have... you

Hey, what could you possibly get for the girl who has everything and nothing all at once?

Babe, I would trade the Cartier for someone to trust... just kidding

We hit the best booth at Musso & Frank's

They say I'm bad news, I just say, "Thanks"

And you look at me like you're hypnotized

And I think you know why

And if you ever leave me high and dry

I'd cry my eyes violet

Elizabeth Taylor

Tell me for real

Do you think it's forever?

Been number one but I never had two

And I can't have fun if I can't have...

Be my NY when Hollywood hates me

You're only as hot as your last hit, baby

I been number one but I never had two

And I can't have fun if I can't have... you

Elizabeth Taylor

Do you think it's forever?

If I can't have you

All my white diamonds and lovers are forever

In the papers, on the screen and in their minds

All my white diamonds and lovers are forever

Don't you ever end up anything but mine...

I'd cry my eyes violet

Elizabeth Taylor

Tell me for real

Do you think it's forever?

Been number one but I never had two

And I can't have fun if I can't have...

Be my NY when Hollywood hates me

You're only as hot as your last hit, baby

I been number one but I never had two

And I can't have fun if I can't have... you

All my white diamonds and lovers are forever

In the papers, on the screen and in their minds

All my white diamonds and lovers are forever

Don't you ever end up anything but mine...

I had a bad habit of missing lovers past

My brother used to call it "Eating out of the trash"

It's never gonna last

I thought my house was haunted, I used to live with ghosts

And all the perfect couples said, "When you know, you know

And when you don't, you don't"

And all of the foes and all of the friends (ha, ha)

Have seen it before, they'll see it again (ha, ha)

Life is a song, it ends when it ends

I was wrong

But my Mama told me it's alright

You were dancing through the lightning strikes

Sleepless in the onyx night

But now the sky is opalite

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh my Lord

Never made no one like you before

You had to make your own sunshine

And now the sky is opalite

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

You couldn't understand it, why you felt alone

You were in it for real, but she was in her phone

And you were just a pose

And don't we try to love love (love love)

We give it all we got (we give it all we got)

You finally left the table, and what a simple thought

You're starving 'til you're not

And all of the foes and all of the friends (ha, ha)

Have messed up before, they'll mess up again (ha, ha)

Love is a song, it ends when it ends

You move on

And that's when I told you it's alright

You were dancing through the lightning strikes

Sleepless in the onyx night

But now the sky is opalite

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh my Lord

Never met no one like you before

You had to make your own sunshine

But now the sky is opalite

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

This is just a storm inside a teacup

But shelter here with me, my love

Thunder like a drum

This life will beat you up, up, up, up

This is just a temporary speed bump

But failure brings you freedom

And I can bring you love (love, love, love, love)

Don't you sweat it, baby, it's alright

You were dancing through the lightning strikes

Sleepless in the onyx night

But now the sky is opalite

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh my Lord

Never met no one like you before

You had to make your own sunshine

But now the sky is opalite

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

🎵

When I found you, you were young

Wayward, lost in the cold

Pulled up to you in the Jag

Turned your rags into gold

The winding road leads to the château

"You remind me of a younger me"

I saw potential...

I'll be your father figure

I drink that brown liquor

I can make deals with the devil

Because my dick's bigger

This love is pure profit

Just step into my office

I dry your tears with my sleeve

Leave it with me

I protect the family

Leave it with me

I protect the family

I pay the check before it

Kisses the mahogany grain

Said, "They want to see you rise

They don't want you to reign"

I showed you all the tricks of the trade

All I ask for is your loyalty...

My dear protégé

I'll be your father figure

I drink that brown liquor

I can make deals with the devil

Because my dick's bigger

This love is pure profit

Just step into my office

They'll know your name in the streets

Leave it with me...

I protect the family

I saw a change in you

My dear boy...

They don't make loyalty like they used to

Your thoughtless ambition sparked the ignition on foolish decisions which led to misguided visions

That to fulfill your dreams...

You had to get rid of me

I protect the family

I was your father figure

We drank that brown liquor

You made a deal with this devil

Turns out my dick's bigger

You want a fight, you found it

I got the place surrounded

You'll be sleeping with the fishes

Before you know, you're drowning

Whose portrait's on the mantle?

Who covered up your scandals?

Mistake my kindness for weakness

And find your card cancelled

I was your father figure

You pulled the wrong trigger

This empire belongs to me

Leave it with me

I protect the family

Leave it with me

I protect the family

Leave it with me

"You know, you remind me of a younger me"

I saw potential...

Everybody's so punk on the internet

Everyone's unbothered 'til they're not

Every joke's just trolling and memes

Sad as it seems, apathy is hot

Everybody's cutthroat in the comments

Every single hot take is cold as ice

When you found me I said I was busy

That was a lie

I have been afflicted by a terminal uniqueness

I've been dying just from trying to seem cool

But I'm not the baddest

And this isn't savage

But I'm never gonna let you down

I'm never gonna leave you out

So many traitors

Smooth operators

But I'm never gonna break that vow

I'm never gonna leave you now, now, now

You know the last time I laughed this hard was

On the trampoline in somebody's backyard

I must've been about 8 or 9

That was the night I fell off and broke my arm

Pretty soon I learned cautious discretion

When your first crush crushes something kind

When I said I don't believe in marriage

That was a lie

Every eldest daughter

Was the first lamb to the slaughter

So we all dressed up as wolves and we looked fire

But I'm not the baddest, and this isn't savage

But I'm never gonna let you down

I'm never gonna leave you out

So many traitors, smooth operators

But I'm never gonna break that vow

I'm never gonna leave you now, now, now

We lie back

A beautiful, beautiful time lapse

Ferris wheels, kisses and lilacs

And things I said were dumb

'Cause I thought that I'd never find that beautiful, beautiful life that

Shimmers that innocent light back

Like when we were young

Every youngest child felt

They were raised up in the wild

But now you're home

'Cause I'm not the baddest

And this isn't savage

And I'm never gonna let you down

I'm never gonna leave you out

So many traitors

Smooth operators

But I'm never gonna break that vow

I'm never gonna leave you now, now, now

Never gonna break that vow

Never gonna leave you now, now

I'm never gonna leave you now

Glistening grass from September rain

Gray overpass full of neon names

You drive, 85

Gallatin Road and the lakeside beach

Watching the game from your brother's Jeep

Your smile, miles wide

And it was not an invitation

Should've kissed you anyway

Should've kissed you anyway

And it was not convenient, no

But your girlfriend was away

Should've kissed you anyway

Shiny wood floors underneath my feet

Disco ball makes everything look cheap

Have fun, it's prom

Wilted corsage dangles from my wrist

Over his shoulder I catch a glimpse

And see ... You looking at me

And it was not an invitation

But as the 50 Cent song played

Should've kissed you anyway

And it was not convenient, no

Would've been the best mistake

Should've kissed you anyway

Don't make it awkward in second period

Might piss your ex off, lately we've been good

Staying friends is safe

Doesn't mean you should

Don't make it awkward in second period

Might piss your ex off, lately we've been good

Staying friends is safe

Doesn't mean you should

When I left school I lost track of you

Abigail called me with the bad news

Goodbye

And we'll never know why

It was not an invitation

But I flew home anyway

With so much left to say

It was not convenient, no

But I whispered at the grave

"Should've kissed you anyway"

And it was not an invitation

Should've kissed you anyway

Should've kissed you anyway

And it was not

My advice is always ruin the friendship

Better that than regret it

For all time

Should've kissed you anyway

And my advice is always answer the question

Better that than to ask it

All your life

Should've kissed you anyway

Should've kissed you anyway

🎵

I heard you call me "Boring Barbie" when you're out feeling brave

High-fived my ex, and then you said you're glad he ghosted me

Wrote me a song saying it makes you sick to see my face

Some people might be offended

But it's actually sweet

All the time you've spent on me

It's honestly wild

All the effort you've put in

It's actually romantic

I really got to hand it to you

No man has ever loved me like you do

Hadn't thought of you in a long time

But you keep sending me funny valentines

And I know you think it comes off vicious

But it's precious, adorable

Like a toy chihuahua barking at me from a tiny purse

That's how much it hurts

How many times has your boyfriend said

"Why are we always talking about her?"

It's actually sweet

All the time you've spent on me

It's honestly wild

All the effort you've put in

It's actually romantic

I really got to hand it to you

No man has ever loved me like you do

You think I'm tacky, baby

Stop talking dirty to me

It sounded nasty, but it feels like you're flirting with me

I mind my business, God's my witness that I don't provoke it

It's kind of making me sweat

'Cause it's actually sweet

All the time you've spent on me

It's honestly lovely

All the effort you've put in

It's actually romantic

Really got to hand it to you, to you

No man has ever loved me like you do

It's actually romantic

You've just given me so much... attention!

It's actually romantic

It's so romantic

🎵

You thought that it would be ok, at first

The situation could be saved, of course

But they'd already picked out your grave and hearse

Beware the wrath of masked crusaders

Did you girl-boss too close to the sun?

Did they catch you having far too much fun?

Come with me, when they see us they'll run

Something wicked this way comes

Good thing I like my friends cancelled

I like 'em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal

Like my whiskey sour

And poison thorny flowers

Welcome to my underworld

Where it gets quite dark

At least you know exactly who your friends are

They're the ones with matching scars

It's easy to love you when you're popular

The optics click, everyone prospers

But one single drop, you're off the roster

"Tone-deaf and hot let's all just off her"

Did you make a joke only a man could?

Were you just too smug for your own good?

Or bring a tiny violin to a knife fight?

Baby, that all ends tonight

Good thing I like my friends cancelled

I like 'em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal

Like my whiskey sour

And poison thorny flowers

Welcome to my underworld

It'll break your heart

At least you know exactly who your friends are

They're the ones with matching scars

They stood by me

Before my exoneration

They believed I was innocent

So I'm not here for judgement, no ...

But if you can't be good

Then just be better at it

Everyone's got bodies in the attic

Or took somebody's man

We'll take you by the hand

And soon you'll learn the art

Of never getting caught

It's a good thing I like my friends cancelled

You know that I like 'em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal

Like my whiskey sour

And poison thorny flowers

It's a good thing I like my friends cancelled

I salute you if you're much too much to handle

Like my whiskey sour

I like it

And poison thorny flowers, I love it

Can't you see my infamy loves company

Now they've broken you like they've broken me

But a shattered glass

Is a lot more sharp

And now you know exactly who your friends are

You know who we are

We're the ones with matching scars

🎵

"Honey", is a song about

How words that have been meant to hurt you in the past

Can be repurposed by someone who loves you in a way that feels totally different

You know, if the only time you were called honey was when someone was like

That look is not working for you, honey

Like, that is very different than when somebody

Calls you honey in a sweet way, in a sincere way, in a lovely way

And it's kind of about sort of the idea of healing

These old wounds that were caused by certain words

That now feel totally lovely and sweet

So, I also just love this song

It's such a bop

Uhm, I just jump around to this song

This one's called, "Honey"

🎵

Her name was Kitty

Made her money being pretty and witty

They gave her the keys to this city

Then they said she didn't do it legitly, uh

I bought a ticket

She's dancing in her garters and fishnets

50 in the cast, zero missteps

Looking back, I guess it was kismet

I waited by the stage door

Packed in with the autograph hounds

Barking her name

Then glowing like the end of a cigarette

Wow, she came out

I said, "You're living my drеam"

Then she said to me

"Hеy, thank you for the lovely bouquet

You're sweeter than a peach

But you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe

And you're never, ever gonna

Wait, the more you play, the more that you pay

You're softer than a kitten

So you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe

And you're never gonna wanna"

She was a menace

The baby of the family in Lenox

Her father whored around like all men did

Her mother took pills and played tennis

So she waited by the stage door

As the club promoter arrived

She said, "I'd sell my soul to have a taste of a magnificent life

That's all mine"

But that's not what showgirls get

They leave us for dead

Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet

You're sweeter than a peach

But you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe

And you're never, ever gonna

Wait, the more you play, the more that you pay

You're softer than a kitten

So you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe

And you're never gonna wanna

I took her pearls of wisdom

Hung them from my neck

I paid my dues with every bruise

I knew what to expect

Do you wanna take a skate on the ice inside my veins?

They ripped me off like false lashes

And then threw me away

And all the headshots on the walls

Of the dance hall are of the witches

Who wish I'd hurry up and die

But I'm immortal now, baby dolls

I couldn't if I tried

So I say

"Thank you for the lovely bouquet

I'm married to the hustle

And now I know the life of a showgirl, babe

And I'll never know another

Pain hidden by the lipstick and lace (lipstick and lace)

Sequins are forever, and now I know the life of a showgirl, babe

Wouldn't have it any other way"

(Thank you for the lovely bouquet) oh

Wouldn't have it any other way

(Thank you for the lovely bouquet)

Hey, Kitty

(Thank you for lovely bouquet)

Now I make my money being pretty and witty

Thank you for the lovely bouquet

Thank you for an unforgettable night

We will see you next time

Give it up for the band

And the dancers

And of course, Sabrina

I love you, Taylor

That's our show

We love you so much

Goodnight!

🎵

I heard you calling on the megaphone

You wanna see me all alone

As legend has it, you are quite the pyro

You light the match to watch it blow

And if you'd never come for me

I might've drowned in the melancholy

I swore my loyalty to me, myself, and I

Right before you lit my sky up

(All that time) I sat alone in my tower

You were just honing your powers, now I can see it all (see it all)

(Late one night) you dug me out of my grave

And saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia (Ophelia)

Keep it one hundred on the land, the sea, the sky

Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes

Don't care where the hell you been 'cause now you're mine

It's 'bout to be the sleepless night you've been dreaming of

The fate of Ophelia

The eldest daughter of a nobleman

Ophelia lived in fantasy

But love was a cold bed full of scorpions

The venom stole her sanity

And if you'd never come for me

I might've lingered in purgatory

You wrap around me like a chain, a crown, a vine

Pulling me into the fire

(All that time) I sat alone in my tower

You were just honing your powers, now I can see it all (see it all)

(Late one night) you dug me out of my grave

And saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia (Ophelia)

Keep it one hundred on the land (land), the sea (sea), the sky

Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes

Don't care where the hell you been 'cause now you're mine

It's 'bout to be the sleepless night you've been dreaming of

The fate of Ophelia

'Tis locked inside my memory, and only you possess the key

No longer drowning and deceived, all because you came for me

Locked inside my memory, and only you possess the key

No longer drowning and deceived, all because you came for me

(All that time) I sat alone in my tower

You were just honing your powers, now I can see it all (see it all)

(Late one night) you dug me out of my grave

And saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia (Ophelia)

Keep it one hundred on the land (land), the sea (sea), the sky

Pledge allegiance to your hands (your hands), your team, your vibes

Don't care where the hell you been 'cause now you're mine

It's 'bout to be the sleepless night you've been dreaming of

The fate of Ophelia

You saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia
