You said I was the most exotic flower
Holding me close in our final hour
I don't know how you convince them and get them, boy
I don't know what you do, but you're unbelievable
I don't know how you get over, get over
Someone as dangerous, tainted and flawed as you
One for the money, two for the show
I love you honey, and so I'm finally ready to go
How did you get that way? I don't know
You're screwed up, you're brilliant,
You look like a million dollar man,
So why is my heart broke?
You got that world baby I reprise
Something so strange, and it's hard to define
It isn't that hard boy, to like you or even love you
I will follow you down down down,
Why? Cause you're unbelievable
So if you're going crazy just grab me and take me
I would follow you down down down, like anywhere anywhere
[Repeat x2]
One for the money, two for the show
I love you honey, and so I'm finally ready to go
How did you get that way? I don't know
You're screwed up, you're brilliant,
You look like a million dollar man,
So why is my heart broke?
I don't know,
You're screwed up, you're brilliant,
You look like a million dollar man,
So why is my heart broke?
Holding me close in our final hour
I don't know how you convince them and get them, boy
I don't know what you do, but you're unbelievable
I don't know how you get over, get over
Someone as dangerous, tainted and flawed as you
One for the money, two for the show
I love you honey, and so I'm finally ready to go
How did you get that way? I don't know
You're screwed up, you're brilliant,
You look like a million dollar man,
So why is my heart broke?
You got that world baby I reprise
Something so strange, and it's hard to define
It isn't that hard boy, to like you or even love you
I will follow you down down down,
Why? Cause you're unbelievable
So if you're going crazy just grab me and take me
I would follow you down down down, like anywhere anywhere
[Repeat x2]
One for the money, two for the show
I love you honey, and so I'm finally ready to go
How did you get that way? I don't know
You're screwed up, you're brilliant,
You look like a million dollar man,
So why is my heart broke?
I don't know,
You're screwed up, you're brilliant,
You look like a million dollar man,
So why is my heart broke?

Holding me tight in our final hour" he's good with words. compliments here, makes her feel the sexiest she's ever felt
"I don't know how you convince them and get them, but
I don't know what you do, it's unbelievable" he can get anyone to do anything. people just love him because there is something straight up magical about his presence. everyone wants, respects & listens to him.
"And I don't know how you get over, get over
Someone as dangerous, tainted and flawed as you" he's destroyed & dark like her, complicated, twisted, damaged, just like her. she doesnt know how to get over someone who gets her darkness, and whose darkness is so intriguing and mysterious that she cant help but be in love with it and everything else about him.
"One for the money, and two for the show
I love you honey, I'm ready, I'm ready to go
How did you get that way? I don't know
You're screwed up and brilliant,
Look like a million dollar man,
So why is my heart broke?" he's also rich and successful. he can afford her. shes in love with him for him and his heart, not his money, but thats nice too. he looks sexy and expensive and that makes her want him. theres a double entendre in the last two lines though. "you look like a million dollar man so why is my heart broke?" she doesnt say broken (which would be grammatically correct) she says broke, which means her heart is broken and broke...it has nothing left. like a millionaire who goes broke.
"You got the world but baby at what price?
Something so strange, hard to define" he worked his life away to succeed. he whored himself out, gave up everything he is to get where he is---successful. now he has money that he essentially gave his life for and hes broken and destroyed because of it. it's hard to define because she doesnt know what parts of himself he lost in pursuit of his success. he's just missing certain elements of normality because he gave up normality and sanity for success.
"It isn't that hard boy to like you or love you
I'd follow you down down down,
You're unbelievable
If you're going crazy just grab me and take me
I'd follow you down down down, anywhere anywhere" shes saying hes crazy but she loves him so much that shes like whatever, go crazy & take me with you. i'll love you and be crazy with you, by your side, forever.
i know every feeling in this song. what she means, how her heart is broken and how she just cant let go even though hes crazy & dark. she cant let go even though she knows she should. she just loves him. thats all.
Her heart is broken in the typical sense we imagine; she is upset from lost love. However, Lana is also pointing out how ironic it is that her heart is "broke" because this is a million dollar man. A "million dollar man" would presumably have a lot of money, yet her heart is "broke" in the sense that it is lacking money.
So her heart is broken in the usual usage of "heartbroken" and also "broke" like failing to have money. Pretty brilliant double meaning, in my opinion.

Lana Del Rey- Million Dollar Man
You said I was the most exotic flower
Holding me tight in our final hour
I don't know how you convince them and get them, but
I don't know what you do, it's unbelievable
And I don't know how you get over, get over
Someone as dangerous, tainted and flawed as you
One for the money, and two for the show
I love you honey, I'm ready, I'm ready to go
How did you get that way? I don't know
You're screwed up and brilliant,
Look like a million dollar man,
So why is my heart broke?
You got the world but baby at what price?
Something so strange, hard to define
It isn't that hard boy to like you or love you
I'd follow you down down down,
You're unbelievable
If you're going crazy just grab me and take me
I'd follow you down down down, anywhere anywhere
One for the money, two for the show
I love you honey, I'm ready, I'm ready to go
How did you get that way? I don't know
You're screwed up and brilliant,
Look like a million dollar man,
So why is my heart broke?
One for the money, two for the show
I love you honey, I'm ready, I'm ready to go
How did you get that way? I don't know
You're screwed up and brilliant,
Look like a million dollar man,
So why is my heart broke?
I don't know,
You're screwed up and brilliant,
Look like a million dollar man,
So why is my heart broke?
Lana and i are very similar. She writes these breathtaking, devastating songs about the man who changed her life. He may have been mixed up and confused, but somewhere in the back of her mind she'll always be waiting for him to come back. She longs for a love that could compare to what they had. Her heart may heal, but she will always be his. It's a truly beautiful thing to experience. Devastating, yes, but it produced an amazing album.
I had fallen--not just for him, but into a world of dark depression.
Sometimes, he was the reason for my suicidal planning. But more often then not, he was my savior.
I needed him to save me. To love me. To support me. I needed him for me to stay sane.
I loved him because I needed him. I needed him because I loved him.
He was a true addiction.
"It isn't that hard boy to like you or love you
I'd follow you down down down,
You're unbelievable
If you're going crazy just grab me and take me
I'd follow you down down down, anywhere anywhere"
But that's the thing with addictions: first, they put heaven in your brain. Then, they put hell in your heart.
"You're screwed up and brilliant"
And eventually, it withered me. And eventually, I went crazy. And eventually, I was sure there was no way he loved me the way I loved him.
Actually, I was quite sure he didn't love me at all.
So I broke up with him. Not even for my benefit. Not even because I knew it was time for me to quit my addiction.
I did it for him. Because I thought he would be happier without me.
"And I don't know how you get over, get over
Someone as dangerous, tainted and flawed as you"
And now, seeing how he's healed and smiling while I'm left high and blank, I can say it looks like I was right.
"Look like a million dollar man,
So why is my heart broke?"
oh and *broken.. that's going to annoy me lol.
Still, when I'm with her, it's totally the best time of my life, when I wake up, I feel like high school sweethearts waiting for make contact with her. Just listening to her voice makes my day.
So, is sad when we meet and then in the end we must set aside apart... I'm falling from her, I've heard this song like 80 times, maybe 8 in a row.
:(
�You said I was the most exotic flower
Hold me tight in our final hour�
The rest of the song is exactly how I feel, the guy is amazing, brilliant, confident, intelligent, everyone else adores him and here I am, ready to be with him. Like some kind of wizard, he’s cast a spell over me and everyone else.
�I don't know how you convince them and get them, boy
I don't know what you do, it's unbelievable�
But he definitely has flaws and a dark side, one minute we’re having an amazing time, then I don’t hear from him for ages. Even though he’s a ‘million dollar man’, he’s still managing to slowly break my heart. I wish I could just end things and 'quit him' but he’s like a drug that I’m totally addicted to. I’d do anything for this supposedly amazing guy.
�So why is my heart broke?�
well, at least you're not the only girl who's going through that.
