Lana Del Rey 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 70's.

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 said... I said...

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 almost 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 on town, your blind eye sees,

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 almost anything.

I'm a Brooklyn Baby.

I'm a Brooklyn Baby.

I'm talking 'bout my generation,

Talking 'bout 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.

'Cause I don't have to fucking 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 down to beat poetry.

And my jazz collection's rare,

I get down to beat poetry.

I'm a Brooklyn Baby.

I'm a Brooklyn Baby.

I get high on hydroponic weed.

Yeah my boyfriend's really cool,

But he's not as cool as me.

'Cause I'm a Brooklyn Baby,

I'm a Brooklyn Baby.
