"Each song on postromantic focuses on a different couple of characters," writes Vivienne Wilder. "But they're all one-sided conversations. ‘Ricky’ is a song in the naive voice of someone who’s fallen for a character perceived by society as bad; the romanticization of the rock star; the bad boy."
lyrics
Ricky, you're a bad boy
It's 4:21
You're sexy smoking those darts
Lying in the sun
I really like your shirt
So let me take it off
You like my short skirt
You like my leopard print bra
Ooh, ooh
I think that I'm in love
Ricky, you're a rockstar
You taste like weed
Too cool for school
Just growing what we need
Hanging out the window
Drinking all day
Kicking the flamingo
Getting cash, making hash, getting paid
Ooh, ooh
I think that I'm in love
I wanna get so high that I can't see
He's got one arm on the wheel, one arm around me
And I could die tonight and be happy
Because Ricky
