I'm a Brooklyn baby He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed I've got feathers in my hair They say I'm too young to love you Well, my boyfriend's in the band I get down to Beat poetry And my jazz collection's rare I can play most anything

They don't wanna see it happen But we say, "Fuck it" One way or another I'mma love you Slidin' under covers, undercover You know they don't wanna see us together But it don't matter, no, 'cause I got you Anytime you're under the weather Babe, we can

Don't say love You are ready, am I ready? Don't say love, don't say love Don't say love, love, love Don't say love, love, love You got the itch you can't hide them I just want your skin on mine 'Cause when we touch we feel alive

Did you stand by me No, not at all You must explain why this must be You say you stand by your man Tell me something I don't understand You said you love me and that's a fact And then you left me, said you felt trapped Well some things you can explain

They can't tell me nothing about no you Can't tell me nothing about how we do Crazy love, oh yeah They say love and insanity Are somewhat related Is truly the greatest Though sometimes we hate it

You're the hottest thing in the club tonight With you constantly to the break of dawn Having visions of making love tonight We can shake the spot if you say it's on I've been looking at you turning brothers down Some got their song, well, it's time for

I am just too selfish I guess I know you're tired and restless It's no surprise we've come undone You say it's better in the long run But I can't unlove you just because Cheap red wine straight out of a coffee cup One more down to drink you off my mind

I can't find the words to say They're overdue When these pillars get pulled down It will be you who wears the crown And I'll owe everything to you How much pain has quaked your soul? How much love would make you whole? You're my guiding lightning strike

I am just too selfish I guess I know you're tired and restless It's no surprise we've come undone You say it's better in the long run But I can't unlove you just because Cheap red wine straight out of a coffee cup One more down to drink you off my mind

And tonight I wanna drive so far we'll only find static on the radio And we can't see those city lights and I love the way you look in a firefly glow Saying everything without making a sound, Standing on your shoes in my bare feet, dancing to the rhythm
