Brooklyn Baby
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 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
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
But I'm free, I'm free
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
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 ******* explain it
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 ****,
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
