BKLYNLDN Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I could pretend I'm Jesus
That I'm gonna heal your body
And, darling, I see you're hurting
Why don't you come inside?
And I've never been with anybody like you
There is nobody with a body like you
Baby, let's take it to the bedroom
Why don't you come inside?
[Pre-Chorus]
This isn't love, oh
This is an emergency
Keep thinking of
That picture that you sent to me
[Chorus]
So you're coming over
Brooklyn to London

[Verse 2]

Want you to call me but you never call
And now I'm wondering why
[Pre-Chorus]
This isn't love, oh
This is an emergency
Keep thinking of
That picture that you sent to me
[Chorus]
So you're coming over
Brooklyn to London
No I didn't expect it
Now we're lying in my bed
Coming over
Brooklyn to London
Though I didn't expect it
Now we're lying, lying, lying
[Outro]
Summer, in love
I think you're awesome
And I don't wanna get out of bed
But, baby, there's a whole world out there
That I wanna see with you
We could take the subway, to the beach where there's a breeze
'Cause we're in America, oh yeah
We're in America, oh yeah
