Brando - Lucy Dacus

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

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

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

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?

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
