Song 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.
