So you and your old man decided
To call it quits last night
You're both tired of trying

After five long years

There's a pretty little girl watching

Color cartoons in the living room
And she's not too young to know
The meaning of grownup tears


And you say you'll
Send her on home to Brooklyn

She'll be okay
Send her on home to Brooklyn
You gotta get her out of the way


[CHORUS]
But tell me who's gonna love her

When you send her on home to Brooklyn
Will her grandmother answer
The questions she'll ask every day

Who's gonna love her
When you send her on home to Brooklyn
While her mom and her dad

Are running free in L.A.

It's been three years since you

Made the move from the East to the West
You thought the change would
So you both some good


And the folks back there
I guess they'll always care

For the little girl
Even though the marraige
Ain't working out like it should


And you say you'll
Send her on home to Brooklyn

She'll be okay
Send her on home to Brooklyn
You gotta get her out of the way


[Repeat CHORUS]


While her mom and her dad
Are running free in L.A.
