Hollis Wake – Coney Island Baby lyrics

Mimi says I can always rely on you.
She tells me some of the shit that she's been through.
She tells me I'm OK because you like me.
And she doesn't care; she's glad and you are too.

Mimi says you're amazing, such a lucky guy.
She's so sad that I'm leaving, and she's not sure why she tries.
‘Cause everyone she loves just up and walks away.
But she gets to keep you—for that I'd stay.

My Coney Island baby, you made us both so proud.
Do you know how lonely I am, baby?

Mimi says that she's tired.
She's a lot like me.
It's hard to get all fired up when you know they'll only leave.
Mimi's sick of the games New York boys play—
but not you, and now you're 2,000 miles away.

My Coney Island baby, you picked me out of the crowd.
Do you know how lonely I am, baby, without you around?

Mimi says that you're listening.
