[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 would take the F by the Bus,
Where Brooklyn Nights set us free

[Chorus]
Its not that I don't wanna love you,
Its not that I really over it, You Know, You Know,
Its just that I can't watch us bleed to death,
Where we used to be,
Brooklyn Nights happy!

[2]
I miss that cheap chandelier,
Remember when dad hung it there,
We would watch Rocky four,
The one where the Russian scored,
I love Brigitte Nielsens hair

I'd cry you're my champion,
But we had already won,
And cracked open one last beer,
Falling asleep in our tears,
Those Brooklyn Nights set us free!

[Chorus]
It`s not that I don't wanna love you,
It`s not that I really over it, You Know, You Know,
It`s just that I can't watch us bleed to death,
Where we used to be,
Brooklyn Nights happy!

[Bridge]
I found an old pair of keys in my purse
That opened the lockup 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
After 7 years of our bad luck dating,
I want one last night there
A Brooklyn Night affair

[Chorus]
It's not that I don't wanna love you (wanna love you)
It's not that I'm really over it, you know (you know)
It's just that I can't watch us bleed to death
When we used to be Brooklyn nights happy

[Outro]
It's not that I don't wanna 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
