Brooklyn Baby

I walked around New York City with you You took me by the hand You grew up here You made me understand You danced around the sidewalks looking pretty You were wearing red You learned to walk here I can see the water from your bed I fell in love with the city inside of you It’s the breath in how you move It felt so easy letting you get to know me I fell in love with the city inside of you The avenues were your neighborhoods You taught me every scene You’re a Brooklyn baby Who don’t mind the sweat of the summer heat You can talk to anyone You own that passenger side A late night walker who never learned to drive I fell in love with the city inside of you It’s the breath in how you move It felt so easy letting you get to know me I fell in love with the city inside of you We were up until sunrise that very first night You kissed me on the forehead when we said goodbye How could I have known what you’d do to me We were nineteen then now we’re twenty-three I fell in love with the city inside of you It’s the breath in how you move It felt so easy letting you get to know me I fell in love with the city inside of you
