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

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

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 mornin' time

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

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, spins

Ah, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in

Dumbed-down and numbed by time and age

Your dream's the 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
