Harrison Ave Songtext
von Lil Dicky

I love you back, you know (Yes, I do)
I love you back, you know
Let′s take it back, ay, let's take it back, ay

I didn′t have a chance, I was walkin' with my bag down the street to Harrison Ave
Summer's over, back to class, way before I had a sedan
Hit the bus stop and then glanced at the kids and then, bam!
I saw Brittany for the first time, I was in a trance
Who the hell was this new chick I never met?
Was friends with girls, but I hadn′t really been attracted to nobody yet
But eighth grade was goin′ crazy, this bitch was so amazing
Walked up and said, "Hi, I'm Dave" and then shit changed (Love)

She told me, she just moved into town
I knew it, no doubt, I loved this girl inside and out
Her beautiful smile, her hair and her style were drivin′ me wild
We sat together on the bus, we sat together every lunch
She had me switchin' up the polos, and ditchin′ yo-yos
I went from movin' solo-dolo to bein′ so O-B-S-E double S E-D (Yeah)
Thought about her constantly, on Kazaa burnin' her CDs
'Cause I saw her and she saw me (Aw)


But back then I was gross, I′d do the most for a joke
I′d show my asshole to girls (damn)
And I just really wasn't the brand of guy that would get the girls
I had no facial hair, just curls
And all my friends had kissed a girl, except me
And I just wanted to be realistic about it
I didn′t wanna mess the whole thing up (no)
And I just loved being around her, so I took the best friend route (aw)

That shit was so fun, I don't care what any of you guys say
The hottest girl I ever met ticklin′ my arm
Going to the mall with her, chatting on AOL all night
Talked about planning things, everything we could
How her parents treated her and how she felt misunderstood
She would tell me shit on AIM in person that she never could
I talked her through it
I took a ton of pride up in the fact that I made her feel good

Started hangin' out up in the basements
Playin′ spin the bottle, watchin' her turn land on Jason
I closed my eyes, until we played the nervous game
Where I would place my hand upon her breast over her bra
That was incredible, that was raw, I jerked off to that all fall
Winter snow days watchin' the television like, "Come on"
Seein′ what the hell they called (ay)
Hit the landline and then I′d call
Hope she picks up, not her mom
But you never know what's comin′ when you're young and you′re in love


High school next year, this a problem
Sophomores, juniors, seniors, everybody saw her
I remember browsin' Blockbuster with her
When this senior cocksucker told her, she looked beautiful
She blushed, he was popular, I just stood to the side and waited
Obviously they started datin′
Harrison Ave just wasn't the same without her
The bus stop, he drove her to school
In a car with rims, and real big bass

Hated this guy, hated their vibe, I hated his face
I waited for the demise, but it never seemed to happen
She was too attached and he latched on
Now she leavin' my friend group, smokin′, drinkin′ with them dudes
Oh no, we are not ready for that (no)
We got pizza by the slice, big ol' shoutout to Frank′s
That's where I was when I found out that they were havin′ sex (fuck)
I hit the beach just to meet her but they already left
And her presence was missed, but she's still my best friend

Mozzarella sticks, I never sat with her at lunch
I strategized my hallway walk so I could see her some
The only class we had together, Spanish, what the fuck
I was Carlos, she was Mia

Why did they make us choose Spanish names, by the way?
Isn′t that, insane? (yes) I digress

Of course he cheated on her, she would call me so depressed
But she kept goin' back
Map Questin', printin′ out directions
I designated drive to his parties, that shit was so
I was soft, I was pussy, I was weak, I was lame
But whatever, I′m in ninth grade, what the hell could I say? (uh)

But one time, I stayed home, his party got busted by the po-po
It made me so, so, so, so, so, so, so happy
He got grounded and the dance was this week
I never went to those but now she could just stay home with me (ay)

Why didn't I go to them?
Okay, ′cuz I was scared of getting boners on the dance floor
The whole thing was overwhelming
It was just a bizarre social situation
I didn't drink, everyone did, whatever, back to the story (uh)

I was excited just to chill with her, return to our glory
Then she like, "Dave wait, we should go to the dance together, just be my date"
I′m like, "What?", She like, "Yeah", I'm like, "Uh"
I came and came, my brain just said "Yes"
Popularity wise, this is a jetpack and I miss my friend
And obviously I was fully in love with her so I said, "Okay, no problem"

I got my suit with my mama
Then we all met up at a fella′s house to take a few pics
Sixteen girls, sixteen guys, parents filmin' this shit (ooh)
I pull up with my mama, oh my god there's a problem
The fuckin′ guy isn′t grounded, he's really there with his arm around her
I couldn′t believe it

She said that he showed up and surprised her
And then of course somebody's like, "We gotta take a wide pic" (Everyone)
33 people, only one had no date
My mama askin′ me why, but I felt way too ashamed
So I just lied, I told her that I knew this was happening
And that everything was good and I could not abandon that
So I went with them in the limo, in the dinner
Macaroni Grill, I'm the thirty-third wheel, is this real?

But it got worse
Right before the bill a bunch of waiters and waitresses bring a cake to my table
They′re all singing Happy Birthday to me (What?)
Happy Birthday to me (yeah)

Not my birthday and of course this fuckin' restaurant has this custom
Where you gotta stand up on a table and wave a fuckin' napkin while everyone stares

I saw the older guys laugh so I just played into it
I′m on the table dancing, embarrassed, but no one knew it
Except Brittany did and she had been drinking, shit
The water bottle full of liquor lower than my confidence
I said I had to piss hoping that she would just follow me

She did, and I walked right past the bathroom into the parking lot
Where I told her
I told her everything on my mind, I told her everything
Every single song that made me think about her every day
Everybody said that we′re just kids
But that never changed the fact that to this kid you were his everything

The next part I will never forget
She walked right up to me slowly then she gave me a kiss (huh)
First kiss, aw, no way, nah, oh my god
Then she said, "I love you too"
I didn't believe her at first, I thought she was drunk
But then the next day, she was singing the same song? (whoo)
She ran over to my crib and was all over me
We started kissin′, touchin', blushin′, gushin'

There was no humping yet, not then, but I would settle for love
Got my first handjob in a park, really came out the mud (ooh)

I couldn′t believe it, it was a dream
I planted my seed on Harrison Avenue yet again
I really did it, huh (yeah)
And then all of a sudden it was done
Just a month long, and then she moved on

I never knew someone could make you feel so right and so wrong
So good and so bad
Either way I had what I had
And it showed me I was who I was
And that I was worthy of love

I love you back, you know
I love you, girl
I love you back, you know (It's the evolution of man)
I love you, girl
I love you back, you know (I'm still evolving)
I love you, girl
I love you back, you know (Yes I do)
