[Chorus]
I learned how to make love from the movies
Catch me waitressin up Ruby Tuesday’s
Says he wants to buy me and a white milkshake
I’ll serve you up a special side of heartbreak
[Verse 1]
Betty Lou’s working down at the Friendly’s
Met a millionaire while she was serving him pancakes
She served your baby a coke and went outside for a smoke
Before you kiss the alligator don’t ask to see him later
[Chorus]
I learned how to make love from the movies
Catch me waitressin up Ruby Tuesday’s
Says he wants to buy me and a white milkshake
I’ll serve you up a special side of heartbreak
[Verse 2]
She said Lana Ray you gotta do what I say
My man’s sending his buddy Ray over your way
He knows you’re bad to the bone and that you never come home
But he saw you in a picture and he really wants to meet ya
So if you see him just do what I say
I said okay
[Chorus]
I learned how to make love from the movies
Catch me waitressin up Ruby Tuesday’s
Says he wants to buy me and a white milkshake
I’ll serve you up a special side of heartbreak
[Outro]
He’s my rodeo king and I’m his Alabama
Diamond horseshoe ring and I know how my man likes it likes it likes it likes it oh

I learned how to make love from the movies
Catch me a-waitressin' up Ruby Tuesday’s
Says he wants to buy me and a white milkshake
I’ll serve you up a special side of heartbreak
Betty Lou’s working down at the Friendly’s
Met a millionaire while she was serving him pancakes
She served her
baby a Coke and went outside for a smoke
Before you kiss the alligator don’t ask to see him later, oh
I learned how to make love from the movies
Catch me a-waitressin' up Ruby Tuesday’s
Says he wants to buy me and a white milkshake (ooh!)
I’ll serve you up a special side of heartbreak
She said, "Lana Rey, you gotta do what I say,
My man is sending his buddy Ray over your way,
He knows you’re bad to the bone and that you never come home,
But he saw you in
a picture and he really wants to meet ya,
So if you see him, just do what I say,"
I said, "Okay,"
I learned how to make love from the movies
Catch me a-waitressin' up Ruby Tuesday’s
Says he wants to buy me and a white milkshake
I’ll serve you up a special side of heartbreak
He’s my rodeo king and I’m his Alabama
Diamond horseshoe ring and I know how my man-uh
Likes it, likes it, likes it, ahh
