I And Love And You
Load the car and write the note
Grab your bag and grab your coat
Tell the ones that need to know
We are headed north
One foot in and one foot back
But it don't pay to live like that
So I cut the ties and I jumped the tracks
For never to return
Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
Are you aware the shape I'm in?
My hands, they shake, my head, it spins
Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
When at first I learned to speak
I used all my words to fight
With him and her and you and me
Ah, but it's just a waste of time
Yeah, it's such a waste of time
That woman, she's got eyes that shine
Like a pair of stolen polished dimes
She asked to dance, I said, "It's fine
I'll see you in the morning time"
Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
Are you aware the shape I'm in?
My hands, they shake, my head, it spins
Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
Three words that became hard to say
I, and love, and you
What you were then, I am today
Look at the things I do
Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
Are you aware the shape I'm in?
My hands, they shake, my head, it spins
Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
Are you aware the shape I'm in
My hands, they shake, my head, it spins, spins
Whoa, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
Dumbed down and numbed by time and age
Your dreams they catch, the world, the cage
The highway sets the traveler's stage
All exits look the same
Three words that became hard to say
I, and love, and you
I, and love, and you
I, and love, and you
Grab your bag and grab your coat
Tell the ones that need to know
We are headed north
One foot in and one foot back
But it don't pay to live like that
So I cut the ties and I jumped the tracks
For never to return
Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
Are you aware the shape I'm in?
My hands, they shake, my head, it spins
Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
When at first I learned to speak
I used all my words to fight
With him and her and you and me
Ah, but it's just a waste of time
Yeah, it's such a waste of time
That woman, she's got eyes that shine
Like a pair of stolen polished dimes
She asked to dance, I said, "It's fine
I'll see you in the morning time"
Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
Are you aware the shape I'm in?
My hands, they shake, my head, it spins
Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
Three words that became hard to say
I, and love, and you
What you were then, I am today
Look at the things I do
Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
Are you aware the shape I'm in?
My hands, they shake, my head, it spins
Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
Are you aware the shape I'm in
My hands, they shake, my head, it spins, spins
Whoa, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in
Dumbed down and numbed by time and age
Your dreams they catch, the world, the cage
The highway sets the traveler's stage
All exits look the same
Three words that became hard to say
I, and love, and you
I, and love, and you
I, and love, and you
