Bushwick Blues

Hold on to my hand
Never let go, never let go
We were just two kids acting tough
But then we grew up
Me, not so much

All the other guys that you've seen
Are nothing compared to me
Because my love is strong
And my heart is weak
After all

When we first met, we spoke so brief
When you sang a sonnet, I hummed sweet relief
Do you recall that night we took the L
Out into Bushwick?
It was colder than hell

So maybe there we should've stopped
'Cause I'm left here feeling like a cop
Because my love is strong
And my heart is weak
After all

And to the other side of the state's return
I met a young girl
Well, I couldn't manage her
Because I think of you in every girl I meet
It's no relief, that sounds to me just as sweet

So maybe I'm the fool for feeling used
By the way we kissed that night, I thought you knew
Because my love is strong
And my heart is weak
After all
