[Verse 1: Lana Del Rey]
"Hey, what you doin'?" Not a lot
Shakin' and movin' at my local spot
Baby, don't ask me why, don't ask me why
Why, why, why, why, why, why, why
[Pre-Chorus: Lana Del Rey]
Lay, Lady, lay on that side of a paradise
In the Tropic of Cancer
'Cause if I had my way, you would always stay
And I'd be your tiny dancer, honey
[Chorus: Lana Del Rey]
I waited for you
In the spot you said to wait
In the city, on the park bench
In the middle of the pourin' rain
'Cause I adored you
I just wanted things to be the same
You said to meet me up there tomorrow
But tomorrow never came
Tomorrow never came
[Verse 2: Sean Lennon]
Hey, what you thinkin'? Penny for your thoughts
Those lights are blinkin' on that old jukebox
But don't ask me why, just swallow some wine
Wi-wi-wi-wi-wi-wi-wine
[Pre-Chorus: Sean Lennon]
Stay, baby, stay on the side of a paradise
In the Tropic of Cancer
'Cause if I had my way, you would always stay
And you'd be my tiny dancer, baby
[Chorus: Lana Del Rey & Sean Lennon]
I waited for you
In the spot you said to wait
In the city, on the park bench
In the middle of the pourin' rain
'Cause I adored you
And I just wanted things to be the same
You said you'd meet me up there tomorrow
But tomorrow never came
Tomorrow never came
[Bridge: Lana Del Rey & Sean Lennon, Lana Del Rey]
Roses out in your country ho-ouse
We played guitar in your barn
And every day felt like Sunday
And I, I wish we had stayed home
And I could put on the radio to our favorite song
Lennon and Yoko, we would play all day long
"Isn't life crazy?," I said
Now that I'm singin' with Sean, woah
[Chorus: Lana Del Rey & Sean Lennon]
I could keep waitin' for you
In the spot we'd always wait
In the city, on the park bench
In the summer, on the pourin' rain
Honey, don't ignore me
I just wanted it to be the same
You said you'd love me like no tomorrow
I guess tomorrow never came
[Outro: Lana Del Rey, Lana Del Rey & Sean Lennon]
No, no, no
Tomorrow never came
Oh no
Tomorrow never came
No, no, no
Tomorrow never came

Lana Del Rey talked about the song during a conversation with rockstar Courtney Love, which was recorded by Dazed. for DAZED:
I don’t know if you’ve ever felt this way, but when I wrote it I felt like it wasn’t really for me. I kept on thinking about who this song was for or who could do it with me...
I would say “Tomorrow Never Came” is a really special record. We asked Sean Lennon to sing on it and when we sent him our track, he got so inspired that he ended up playing all the instruments on it. He recorded it in his studio in upstate New York. It was good talking to him over Face Time during i...
According to Songfacts, Lennon confessed in an interview with Flaunt Magazine:
She [Lana] has exceptional taste. I told her that working on her song was a valuable lesson since I often modulate and take unintuitive chordal and melodic twists and turns, and she reminded me that you can be perhaps ev...
