I and Love and You sing and play along

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.

Ah, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in.

Are you aware the shape I'm in?

My hands, they shake;

my head, it spins.

Ah, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in.

When at first I learned to speak,

like I used of all my words to fight

with him and her and you and me.

Oh, but it's such a waste of time.

Yeah, it's such a waste of time.

That woman, she's got eyes that shine

like a pair of sto len polished dimes.

She asked to dance;

I said it's fine.

Oh, but it's such a waste of time.

Yeah, it's such a waste of time.

That I'll see you in the morning time.

Ah,

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.

Ah, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in.

Are you aware the shape I'm in?

My hands, they shake;

my head, it spins.

Ah, 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.

Ah, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in.

Dumbed down and numbed by time and age,

your dreams to catch the world,

the cage.

The highway sets the trav'ler'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'.
