Lucy DacusAbout
“Partner In Crime” sees Lucy Dacus explore an impactful relationship, and seemingly lying about her age so she can appeal to older men.
In a June 2021 interview with Pitchfork, Lucy explained her reasoning for turning to vocal distortion, citing an injury:
I wasn’t hitting the notes so we auto-tun...
Partner In Crime Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I asked you to coffee
Could you tell I don't drink it?
When I got to the café
Could you tell what I was thinking?
My heart's on my sleeve, it's embarrassing
The pulpy thing, beating
[Verse 2]
When you asked my age, I lied
I saw relief dawn on your eyes
It's not your fault, it's mine
Let the record show
I walked in on my own
[Verse 3]
Knee-deep in the city that never sleeps
I lay down in the middle of the street
Lamplight like parallel suns
Crowding out the early morning stars
Concrete holding heat from the daytime
Picking petals to see if you will be mine
[Chorus]
Do you lovе me? Do you love me not?
Do you lovе me? Do you love me not?
Do you love me? Do you love me not?
Do you love me? Do you love me not?
[Verse 4]
You were my partner in crime
It was a welcome waste of time
Eating cherries on the bridge, feet dangling
Throwing the pits and stems into the racing current below
I get vertigo looking down and looking in
[Verse 5]
Drop me off at the curb by my curfew
Around the corner so nobody sees you
You drop a hint that you got a girlfriend
I tried my best not to take it
I wanna run my fingers through you
You say nobody understands you like I do
[Chorus]
But do you love me? Do you love me not?
Do you love me? Do you love me not?
Do you love me? Do you love me not?
Do you love me? Do you love me not?

What did Lucy Dacus say about "Partner In Crime"?
I tried to sing a regular take and I was just sounding bad that day. We did Auto-Tune temporarily, but then we loved it so much we just kept it. I liked that it was a choice. The meaning of the song is about this relationship I had when I was a teenager with somebody who was older than me, and how I...
