Lake Street Dive
Bad Self Portraits
[Verse 1]
I bought this camera
To take pictures of my love
Now that he's gone
I don't have anybody to take pictures of
A lonesome highway
Is a pretty good subject
I'm gonna make myself make use of this thing
[Chorus]
(Hoo-ooh)
I'm taking landscapes
(Hoo-ooh)
I'm taking still lifes
(Hoo-ooh)
I'm taking bad self portraits
Of a lonely woman
[Verse 2]
I've spent my life
So lost on lovin'
I could have been a painter or a president
But after 25 years
I should be good at something
Gone are the days of me being so reticent
[Chorus]
(Hoo-ooh)
I'm taking night classes
(Hoo-ooh)
I'm making sculptures
(Hoo-ooh)
I'm painting bad self portraits
Of a lonely woman
[Bridge]
(Whoo ooh ooh)
Ohh ohh
(Whoo ooh ooh)
Ohh ohh ohh yeah yeah
(Whoooo ooooh ooooh)
Ohh oh oh oh yeah
(Whoo ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
(Whoo ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh ooooh ooooh ooooh)
[Verse 3]
I bought this camera
To take pictures of my love
Now that he's gone
I don't know what to do with this thing, well
I don't care about the time or money
I just never thought that I'd be
Through with this love
[Chorus]
(Hoo-ooh)
Stuck taking landscapes
(Hoo-ooh)
Stuck taking still lifes
(Hoo-ooh)
Stuck making sculptures
(Hoo-ooh)
I-I'm out here taking bad self portraits
Of a lonely woman
Bad self portraits of a lonely girl
Sad self portraits of a lonely woman
[Outro]
(Whoo ooh ooh)
(Whoo ooh ooh)
Ohhhhh
(Oohhhhh)
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah
Ohhhhh
Yeah, ohh ohh, yeah
(Whoo ooh ooh)
