’09, you came to see me in the city
I was busy trying to make a splash
I was already the girl in your rear view mirror
you’d paint pictures of your future past
You used to call me “Cool Hand Lucy”
I was smooth, or at least that’s what you told me
Fast forward and the city’s not the same
Neither is yours and I think you are to blame
With your utopian idea of perfection, yeah
You were cuter with your own direction
Back then
I would have rolled the dice for you
I would have sacrificed for you
These days I’m better known as “Mama”
And I’d say I’ve got it pretty good
Although I find myself wondering where you are
A little more than I probably should
But I’d never want anything from you
I saw the way you treat them and it made me cringe
Still I can’t help thinking about
The night the rain poured down on us
In the middle of the Brooklyn Bridge
I would have rolled the dice for you
I would have sacrificed for you
I would have given everything I had
It’s a good thing you never came back
Oooo it would have ended up real sad
In a way it was the best we ever had
I would have rolled the dice for you
I would have sacrificed for you
I say a prayer
In the back of my mind
That your “Cool Hand Lucy”
Was a moment in time
I would have rolled the dice for you
I would have sacrificed for you
