Lana Del Rey

I guess you could call it textbook I was lookin' for the father I wanted back And I thought I found it in Brentwood It seemed only appropriate you'd easily have my back And then there was the issue of her I didn't even like myself, or love the life I had And there you were with shining stars Standing blue with open arms You touched the detriment most of the friends I knew already had You've got a Thunderbird, my daddy had one too Let's rewrite history, I'll do this dance with you You know I'm not that girl, you know I'll never be Maybe just the way we're different could set me free And there we were, screamin', "Black Lives Matter" in the crowd By the Old Man River, and I saw you saw who I am God, I wish I was with my father He could see us in all our splendor All the things I couldn't want for him I screamed for them, oh I screamed for them, ah Could we do this dance again? Do you think if I go blonde, we could get our old love back? I guess this is really the end I never felt jealous before this year, but I'm jealous now People say we're too much alike But maybe, finally, that'll make it right At the end of all these sleepless nights Other men I met felt right Would smile at you and stick a knife In your back, finally, I met you so I'm not wondering why You've got a Thunderbird, my daddy had one too Let's rewrite history, I'll do this dance with you You know I'm not that girl, you know I'll never be Maybe just the way we're different could set me free There we were, screamin', "Black Lives Matter" in the crowd By the Old Man River, and I saw you saw who I am God, I wish I was with my father He could see us in all our splendor All the things I couldn't want for him I screamed for them, oh I screamed for them, ah-ah Old Man River keeps rollin' With or without him Old Man River keeps rollin' Without him, oh, my old man Old Man River keeps rollin', oh --- Text Book - Lana Del Rey
