Text Book Lyrics
[00:04.85] I guess you could call it textbook
[00:10.25] I was looking for the father I wanted back
[00:17.12]
[00:19.75] And I thought I found it in Brentwood
[00:27.15] It seemed only appropriate you'd easily had my back
[00:35.57]
[00:39.58] And then there was the issue of her
[00:43.62] I didn't even like myself, or love the life I had
[00:52.22] And there you were with shinin' stars standin' blue with open arms
[01:00.73] You touched the detriment most of the friends I knew already had
[01:09.15]
[01:11.48] You've got a Thunderbird, my daddy had one, too
[01:16.43] Let's rewrite history, I'll do this dance with you
[01:21.60] You know I'm not that girl, you know I'll never be
[01:26.62] Maybe just the way we're different could set me free
[01:31.93] There we were, screamin', "Black Lives Matter"
[01:35.08] In a crowd, by the Old Man River
[01:38.37] And I saw you saw who I am
[01:43.95] God, I wish I was with my father
[01:47.39] He could see us in all our splendor
[01:50.53] All the things I couldn't want for him
[01:55.17] I screamed for them, oh, oh
[02:02.46] I screamed for them, ah-ah
[02:09.45]
[02:14.15] Could we do this dance again?
[02:19.03] Do you think if I go blonde we could get our old love back?
[02:26.88]
[02:31.05] I guess this is really the end
[02:36.34] I never felt jealous before this year, but I'm jealous now
[02:44.60]
[02:48.50] People say we're too much alike
[02:52.36] But maybe, finally, that'll make it right in the end
[02:56.77] Of all these sleepless nights
[03:01.41] Other men I met felt right
[03:05.28] Would smile at you and stick a knife in your back
[03:11.65] Finally, I met you, so I'm not wonderin' why
[03:20.01] You've got a Thunderbird, my daddy had one too
[03:25.33] Let's rewrite history, I'll do this dance with you
[03:30.31] You know I'm that not that girl, you know I'll never be
[03:35.57] Maybe just the way we're different could set me free
[03:40.69] There we were, screamin', "Black Lives Matter"
[03:43.59] In a crowd, by the Old Man River
[03:46.89] And I saw you saw who I am
[03:52.42] God, I wish I was with my father
[03:55.73] He could see us in all our splendor
[03:58.88] All the things I couldn't want for him
[04:03.65] I screamed for them, oh, oh
[04:10.84] I screamed for them, ah-ah
[04:18.50] Old Man River keeps rollin'
[04:23.69] With or without him
[04:29.73] Old Man River keeps rollin'
[04:35.78] Without him, oh, my old man
[04:42.56] Old Man River keeps rollin', oh
[04:51.50]
