The chorus of text book sounds melodically so similar to one of her other songs and I cannot for the life of me think of what it is but I almost want to start singing it! Any clues?

All the things I couldn’t want for him I screamed for them Oh I scream for them Ahh Could we do this dance again? Do you think if I go blonde we could get our old love back? I guess this is really the end I never felt jealous before this year but I’m jealous now People say we’re too much alike But maybe finally that’ll make it right in the end I’ve always seen the signs Whether men I met felt right But would smile at you and then stick a knife In your back, finally I met you so I’m not wondering why You’ve got a Thunderbird My daddy had one too Let’s rewrite history I’ll do this dance with you You know I’m not that girl You know I’ll never be Maybe just the way we’re different could set me free There we were Screaming "Black Lives Matter" In the crowd by the open river & I saw you saw who I am God I wish I was with my father He could see as a long last winter?

West Coast 45,791 Posted May 20, 2021 Dare I say that 'Text Book' is one of the best Lana songs I have heard in years. I'm literally shook from the first listen and it only gets better from there. 23 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
