Brooklyn Baby Songtext
von Clairo

Da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da

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 70s

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

(Ooh) I say
(Ooh) 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

(Ooh) but I′m free, mm
(Ooh) 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


(Ooh) I'm talking ′bout my generation
I'm talking ′bout my newer nation
(Ooh) and if you don't like it, you can
Beat it, beat it, baby

(Ooh) you never liked the way I said it
(Ooh) if you don′t get it, then forget it
(Ooh) 'cause I don't have to fucking explain it
(Ooh-ooh)

Well, 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
′Cause I'm a Brooklyn baby
I′m a Brooklyn baby

Ba-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da

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

Ba-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da
Yeah, yeah
