Brooklyn Baby – Lana Del Rey

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

They think I’m too cool to know you
You say I’m like the ice I freeze
I’m churning out novels like
Beat poetry on amphetamines

I say

I say

CORO:

Well my boyfriend’s in a band
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
I’ve got feathers in my head
I get down to beat poetry
And my jazz collection’s rad
I can play almost 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

CORO

Well my boyfriend’s in a band
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
I’ve got feathers in my head
I get down to beat poetry
And my jazz collection’s rad
I can play almost anything

I’m a Brooklyn baby,
I’m a Brooklyn baby

Talking about my generation
Talking about a 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
Cause I don’t have to fuc*** explain it

CORO:

And my boyfriend’s in a band
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
I’ve got feathers in my head
I get high on hydroponic weed
And my jazz collection’s rad
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
