THE SADDEST GIRL IN BROOKLYN NEW YORK

from "Songs About Girls" [2010] by Elijah Should

/

about

She's stuck at Checkers working the late-night shift. She's not above crying her eyes out at work.

lyrics

Hello, i'm the saddest girl in Brooklyn NY
on a Saturday night, just after midnight
I'm stuck at work until two. I'm feeling kind of blue
I don't smile / I don't need to

I'm never gonna ask "do you want fries with that?"


there was a time i wanted to believe
believe in my health believe in my home
but it's all so far away

the warm synths climb up like a bath
these phat beats are scorching hot
and I'm still making minimum wage
and i'm trying to keep my man out of jail
and that's why I'm the saddest girl in Brooklyn New York
I'm the saddest girl in Brooklyn New York
