Story Behind The Song
Right there - a slick groove in the form of a woman created by the vibe of a borough in New York City . . . "she was from Brooklyn, baby". If ever a song could harness the essence of the electromagnetic undertones of a fine female, "Brooklyn Baby" would be a most excellent gesture. Even before the first lyric emerges, the swagger of the baseline lets us know we're about to slide right into an attitude we can't shake. It's a warm melody in hot pursuit of an urban swing. It's an ode to the pleasure and mystery of infatuation. By the time the inevitable "fade out" is upon us, we're left asking ourselves "what's the quickest way to Brooklyn?"

Lyrics
Lyrics by: Paris Toon
Brooklyn Baby
verse
There she stood
Surrounded in a corner
Looking like she could use
The rescue from a friend
Now She was in no way in any
Kind of danger
How much flattery
Can a female take
From strangers on the make?
Now how should I approach
Without sounding like the rest
They say honesty is best policy
And her beauty overwhelmed me
What she possessed
Made me almost second guess
But I can't let her get away from me
Pre chorus
Never had I had such beauty
At arms reach
And I never thought
That she could be diggin me
And I never thought
That all the other ones could disappear
Until now
Chorus
(She was from Brooklyn baby)
She was from Brooklyn baby
(She was from Brooklyn baby)
And she had a swagga like I never seen before
(She was from Brooklyn baby, baby)
That girls she's just bad
And I know
(tonight im gonna find a way
To make her mine)
verse
When I made my entrance
Into the room
I was hoping id be (on your mind)
For the rest of the evening
At my highest
Level of expectation
(I didn't think youd be
That overwhelming to me)
So I Stood incorrect
But never before had it seemed so right
(uh hunh)
It was your bodied halo
That brought me to you tonight
(Said I need and want
Everything that you own)
And in trade when I awake
From this daze you'll own my soul
Pre chorus
Never had I had such beauty
At arms reach
And I never thought
That she could be diggin me
And I never thought
That all the other ones could disappear
Until now
Chorus
(She was from Brooklyn baby)
She was from Brooklyn baby
(She was from Brooklyn baby)
And she had a swagga like I never seen before
(She was from Brooklyn baby, baby)
That girls she's just bad
And I know
(tonight im gonna find a way
To make her mine)
