The self confidence this song give me is undescribable

5:38
"yeah my bf's pretty cool... but he's not as cool as me""
IM ASCENDING THE MALE VOICE UNDERNEATH ADDS SUCH A NICE TOUCH

1:40 imagine sticking your head out of the window and feeling the wind, with this part. UGH! perfection :D

5:18 this part just lifts my soul!!

I’m obsessed with these songs

whoever disliked this song clearly just doesn't have ears

I TURNED MY HEADPHONES UP ALL THE WAY AND IM HAVING A EARGASM

5:38 leaving this for myself here

“yeah my boyfriend’s pretty cool, but he’s not as cool as me”

Lyrics: ♥️

Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da
Ta-da-da-da-da-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 seventies

I think I’m too cool to know ya
You say I’m like the ice, I freeze
I’m churnin’ 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

Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da
Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da
Pa-ta-da-da-da-da

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 burnin’ up, I’m coolin’ down
You’re up, I’m down
You’re blind, I see

But I’m free, ooh-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

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
‘Cause I don’t have to fuckin’ 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 weed
And my jazz collection’s rare
I get down to Beat poetry
I’m a Brooklyn baby
I’m a Brooklyn baby

Pa-da-pa-pa, pa-de-da
Te-de-de, da-da-ah
Ooh-ooh, woah

(5:39, most replayed part of the song)
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

Pa-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da, baby
Ah-ta-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, baby
Pa-da-da-da-da-da
Pa-pa-da-pa-da, yeah
Yeah, yeah

6:20 is heavenly
