Brooklyn Baby

[Intro]
Da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da

[Verse 1]
They say I'm too young to love you
I don't know what I need
They think I don't understand
The freedom land of the seventies
I think I'm too cool to know ya
You say I'm like the ice, I freeze
I'm churning out novels like
Beat poetry on amphetamines

[Pre-Chorus]
I say (Ooh)
I say (Ooh)

[Chorus]
Well, my boyfriend's in a band
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
I've got feathers in my hair
I get down to Beat poetry
And my jazz collection's rare
I can play most anything
I'm a Brooklyn baby
I'm a Brooklyn baby

[Verse 2]
They say I'm too young to love you
They say I'm too dumb to see
They judge me like a picture book
By the colors, like they forgot to read
I think we're like fire and water
I think we're like the wind and sea
You're burning up, I'm cooling down
You're up, I'm down
You're blind, I see

[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm free (Ooh)
I'm free (Ooh)

[Chorus]
Well, my boyfriend's in a band
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
I've got feathers in my hair
I get down to Beat poetry
And my jazz collection's rare
I can play most anything
I'm a Brooklyn baby
I'm a Brooklyn baby

[Bridge]
I'm talking 'bout my generation (Ooh-ooh)
I'm talking 'bout my newer nation
And if you don't like it, you can beat it (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Beat it, baby
You never liked the way I said it (Ooh-ooh)
If you don't get it, then forget it
'Cause I don't have to fucking explain it (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Chorus]
And my boyfriend's in a band
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
I've got feathers in my hair
I get high on hydroponic weed
And my jazz collection's rare
I get down to Beat poetry
'Cause I'm a Brooklyn baby
I'm a Brooklyn baby

[Post-Chorus]
Pa-da-da-da-da, pa-da-da-da-da
Pa-da-da-da-da, pa-da-da-da-da
Pa-da-da-da-da, pa-da-da-da-da

[Chorus]
Yeah, my boyfriend's pretty cool
But he's not as cool as me
'Cause I'm a Brooklyn baby
I'm a Brooklyn baby

[Outro]
Pa-da-da-da-da, pa-da-da-da-da
Pa-da-da-da-da, pa-da-da-da-da
Pa-da-da-da-da, pa-da-da-da-da
Pa-pa-da-da-da, yeah
Yeah, yeah
