[Verse 1] Packed a book-bag Socks and sneakers, and dress shoes just in case Sky bound for my home town To the north shore on a Sunday Gave a kiss to my lady friend She's a sweet talk and a sweet taste Gave thanks for my family Thanks to my friends, I'm getting sh**-faced [Pre-Chorus] This Long Island, it's a desolate place A far cry from my first love, Michigan My sweet talk and my sweet taste A long way from the long lost dreams Left broken on a California freeway This Brooklyn Oh, Brooklyn... [Chorus] You make Detroit feel so far away And I've only Known you a day I haven't even known you a day True like New York, but you lie like L.A And I've only Known you a day I haven't even know you a day [Verse 2] Hopped a subway Straight from Bleecker to the Park Slope real estate Looked around for a sit-down brunch With all-you-can-eat poundcake Found a few, maybe six or seven Free coffee and free champagne I hadn't seen such a free time living Since my sixteenth birthday [Pre-Chorus] This Long Island, it's a desolate place A far cry from my first love, Michigan My sweet talk and my sweet taste A long way from the long lost dreams Left broken on a California freeway This Brooklyn Oh, Brooklyn... [Chorus] You make Detroit feel so far away And I've only Known you a day I haven't even known you a day True like New York, but you lie like L.A And I've only Known you a day I haven't even know you a day [Outro] I've only known you a day Known you a day I've only know you a day Known you a day Known you a day
