Rookie Lyrics by Black Kids

Rookie

2017

You're flirting with the camera
You feel the male gaze
You never shy away
When they photograph
You're looking in the mirror
Or talking to me
I want you bad, but you
Don't love me back
I want to dance
But there's no one around
There ain't a heartbeat in this whole damn town
[Chorus]
Her look became a touch
Her touch became a kiss
That kiss became too much
And know it's come to this
A promise, and you blush
That was a year ago
I'm much more wiser now
Don't act like you don't know
I'm not a rookie anymore
You tried a charm offensive
But that was short lived
You know I can't not
Burn a bridge
Like everyone attractive
I get but don't give
I did the math and know
I can be a bitch
We used to dance
All alone in the house
But now we don't speak
When we're hopping about
I want to dance
But there's no one around
There ain't a heartbeat, heartbeat
There ain't a heartbeat, heartbeat
[Chorus]
Her look became a touch
Her touch became a kiss
That kiss became too much
And know it's come to this
A promise, and you blush
That was a year ago
I'm much more harder now
Don't act like you don't know
I'm not a rookie anymore
Her look became a touch
Her touch became a kiss
That kiss became too much
And know it's come to this
A promise, and you blush
That was a year ago
I'm much more wiser now
Don't act like you don't know
Pretend like you don't know
Oh, you don't even know
I'm not a rookie anymore
I'm not your rookie
