Brooklyn Baby Lyrics

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.
I say

I say.
Well, my boyfriend's in the 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.
They say I'm too young to love you
You 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
But I'm free
I'm free.
Well, my boyfriend's in the 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.
I'm talking about my generation
Talking about that newer nation.
And if you don't like it
You can beat it.
Beat it, baby.
You never liked the way I said it
If you don't get it, then forget it.

So I don't have to fucking explain it.
And my boyfriend's in the 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.
I'm a Brooklyn baby
I'm a Brooklyn baby.
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.
