Downtown Love

Downtown love

Don't want none of your downtown love

Downtown love

Don't want none of your downtown love

Just wonderin' if you notice me

Just wonderin' if you notice me

Wood floors in your Soho apartment

Every morning always roll one and spark it

Credit cards left on your glass table

You been wildin' since I met you last April

A beautiful, outgoing, alcoholic, socialite

Like the way I talk to you, I was so polite

Always claimin' that you're not the type to notice hype

But that's the reason why we kicked it and you know it's right

I was your Bob Dylan, you were my Edie Sedgwick

But where I used to see beauty, now I just see pathetic

It was fun while it lasted but you'll never get it

You're living in your own world, where love is all synthetic

Yeah, and now you walk around woefully

For a minute thought about forever like it's Jodeci

But now you're spiraling and falling over hopelessly

And I just wonder if you notice me, yeah

Downtown love

Don't want none of your downtown love

Downtown love

Don't want none of your downtown love

Just wonderin' if you notice me

Just wonderin' if you notice me

And you're just spending your allowance cash

On some shopping sprees, drinks, and a powder stash

But it drains like the sand in an hour glass

And when it does is when I see you turnin' sour fast

Free falling from the sky 'till the gravel caught us

Spending cash, burning holes in her fragile pockets

Doin' drugs on the surface of Apple products

Started beautiful but look at where havoc brought us

And it was fun but I could never be the one for you

You're never happy, always looking 'round for something new

But it was unbelievable when I was fucking you

Thought that I was momentarily in love with you

Nah, see you're in love with material

And even more in love with attention

Walking through life so eager for affection

And never really was a connection, nah

Downtown love

Don't want none of your downtown love

Downtown love

Don't want none of your downtown love

Just wonderin' if you notice me

Just wonderin' if you notice me

So in love with the scene she was

4AM is when she leaves clubs

She's...

In love with fashion, still trying to be Audrey Hepburn

Grabs the check, but she spends what she hasn't yet earned

Life's a bitch, if you play with fire you get burned

The road to riches could throw you off at the next turn

Yeah, poor little rich girl

Cries her eyes out, it's all part of the show

Fell in love with the fast life but started it slow

Loves creative types, slept with every artist she know

Comes from high society, but they frown on her actions

Instagrams half naked, how she sounds in her captions

Always snobby and conceited, she knows what the deal is

Wants to party, thumbs through a rolodex full of dealers

Yeah, cause she said the high was divine

The first time is what she kept on searching trying to find

Scared to lose it all but everything was nothing inside

Couldn't face the truth but everyone's got something to hide

It's ironic how conscious she is of how she appear

Two hours getting dressed but still can't look herself in the mirror

Making poor choices, even at her wealthiest year

Was a fast lifestyle that no one helped her to steer, yeah

Downtown love

Don't want none of your downtown love
