[Verse 1] Leaving Brooklyn wasn't an easy thing to do The more I miss Brooklyn the more I miss you Those kind eyes then I look right back at yours Standing hours with stare at the floor [Chorus] Leaving Brooklyn (ooooh) Leaving Brooklyn (ooooh) [Verse 2] Those faded jeans you wore almost everyday And the good books I had to throw away
Summer nights we'd sit and we talked Trying to catch a breeze I promised we would walk [Chorus] Leaving Brooklyn (ooooh) Leaving Brooklyn (ooooh) Leaving Brooklyn (ooooh) Leaving Brooklyn (ooooh) (ooooh) (ooooh) (ooooh) [Outro] Leaving Brooklyn wasn't an easy thing to do Is it that I miss Brooklyn more than you
