Brooklyn Nights Lyrics (Final Version?)

I always thought it was you

You always thought it was me

We always thought we were it

Seemed like a real perfect fit

Those Brooklyn nights set us free

 

I always thought even though

We were so young we could grow

Up in the end it'd be us

We'd take the F by the bus

Where Brooklyn nights set us free

 

It's not that I don't wanna love you

It's not that I'm really over it, you know

It's just that I can't watch us bleed to death

When we used to be Brooklyn nights happy

 

I miss(ed?) our cheap chandelier

'Member when dad hung it there?

And we would watch Rocky IV

The one where the Russianss scored?

I love Briggite Nielsen's hair

 

I'd call you my champion

That we had already won

And cracked open the last beer

Falling asleep in our tears

Those Brooklyn nights set us free

 

I found an old pair of keys in my purse

That opened the walk up we shared

How did they get there, jerk?

I wanna see you there, I wanna make it work

 

I didn't brush my hair and my lashes are falling off

Of seven years of our bad luck dating

I want our last night there, a Brooklyn night affair

 

It's not that I don't wanna love you 'cause I really tried hard

Just when I hang with the old you for just one Brooklyn night, (I do?)

How 'bout drink with you for myself, we won't both act like someone else

Maybe then we first tell the truth, for just one Brooklyn night, (I do?)

 

Please suggest corrections and discuss the lyrical content itself :flutter:

 

I decided to not choose "adieu" because I expect her to understand French pronunciation and that just does not sound like it at all.

As usual some lyrics can't even be heard, that's the only downside of the song (and ARTPOP in general). But the first verse slays tho.

I think this person got it right: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1s0vvjs

 

[Verse 1]

I always thought it was you,
You always thought it was me.
We always thought we were it,
Seemed like a real perfect fit,
Those Brooklyn Nights set us free.

 

I always thought even though,
We were so young we could grow.
Up in the end it'd be us,
We'd take the F or the bus,
Where Brooklyn Nights set us free.

 

[Chorus]

Its not that I don't wanna love you
Its not that I'm really over it, you know (you know)
Its just that I can't watch us bleed to death
When we used to be
Brooklyn Nights happy.

 

[Verse 2]

I miss our cheap chandalier
'Member when dad hung it there?
And we would watch Rocky IV,
The one where the Russian scored,
I loved Brigitte Nielsen's hair.

 

I'd call you my champion
Thought we had already won
And cracked open our last beer,
Falling asleep in our tears,
Those Brooklyn Nights set us free.

 

[Chorus]

 

[bridge]

I found an old pair of
Keys in my purse that opened
The walkup we shared
How did they get there, jerk?
I wanna see you there
I wanna make it work.

 

I didn't brush my hair
And my lashes are falling
Off of seven years
Of our bad luck dating.
I want one last night there,
A Brooklyn Night affair.

 

[Chorus]

 

[Outro]

Its not that I don't want to love you
Cause I really tried, and I
Just wanna hang with the old you
For just one Brooklyn Night adieu.

 

Have a drink with your former self
We both won't act like someone else.
Maybe then we'd both tell the truth,
For just one Brooklyn Night adieu.

Just a very minor thing but I don't think there's the one in "That one we had already won."

Take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust~

[Verse 2]

'Member when dad hung it there?

And we would watch Rocky IV,

The one where the Russian scored,

Thank you! I thought I heard "the one where the Russian scored" and figured she was talking about watching something, but I couldn't figure out what. I also heard "Member when.... there" haha. I was so close to getting it but NEVER would have lolol
