I guess you could call it textbook I was looking for the father I wanted back And I thought I found it in Brentwood It seemed only appropriate you'd easily had 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 shinin' stars standin' 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 There we were, screamin', "Black Lives Matter" In a 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, oh I screamed for them, ah-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 in 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 wonderin' 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 that 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 a 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, 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
why is this song so underrated? imho one of the most beautiful by her
The whole album is so goddamn underrated… thanks for this gorgeous masterpiece I love this song so so much🥹
listening to this while i study, out of a plant sciences textbook that looks just like that one lol
what a stunning song wow
love this song ❤❤🥺
Blue banisters is one of her best albums. People are not ready to accept that for some reason
Your channel is perfect ♥ ️☄️
something about 4:38 is so sad but free
I guess you could call it textbook
I was looking for the father I wanted back
And I thought I found it in Brentwood
It seemed only appropriate you'd easily had 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 shinin' stars standin' 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
There we were, screamin', "Black Lives Matter"
In a 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, oh
I screamed for them, ah-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 in 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 wonderin' 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 that 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 a 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, 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
