Lucy Dacus - Brando lyrics

[Verse 1] You told me to skip school To go with you to the movies You knew you were uncool But you thought you could fool me They play oldies in the afternoon For the elderly and me and you Fred and Ginger, black and white I watch you watch It's a Wonderful Life [Verse 2] You called me cerebral I didn't know what you meant But now I do, would it have killed you To call me pretty instead? I'm in a second-story window And you're yelling at me, "Stella!" And I'm laughing 'cause you think you're Brando But you'll never come close [Chorus] All I need for you to admit Is that you never knew me like you thought you did You never knew me like you thought you did Like you thought you did [Verse 3] You say, "Here's lookin' at you, kid" Thinking I wouldn't understand the reference You admit, you think we're fated I'll be lucky if I'm your third wife That's only something you would say in the car We've been breathing the same air for too long If the snow wasn't coming down so hard I would open the door and walk home It's only a couple miles What could go wrong If I hitch a ride with a guy in a pickup Who doesn't know left from right from wrong? [Chorus] All I need for you to admit Is that you never knew me like you thought you did You never knew me like you thought you did Like you thought you did All I need for you to admit Is that you never knew me like you thought you did You never knew me like you thought you did Like you thought you did
