Lyrics
She’s me, I’m her in a different font
– Illa mihi, ego eam in alio fonte
Just a few years younger, a new haircut
– Paucis annis iunior, novus tonsus
Very Leo of you with your Scorpio touch
– Ipsum leo de Te cum Scorpione tactus
Now, now
– Nunc, nunc
Going down on her on your vintage rug
– Descendens super eam super vindemiam tuam pallio
Bet she’s so impressed by your Basquiat
– Pignus illa sic impressa A Basquiat tuum
And she thinks you’re deep in the ways you’re not
– Et illa cogitat te esse altum in itineribus non estis
Now, now
– Nunc, nunc
I can’t put it on her, she’s a sweet kid
– Non possum eam posuit super eam, quæ est dulcis hedum in frusta concerperet
But she’s taking the bait like we all did
– Sed illa esca capit sicut nos omnes fecerunt
She looks
– Spectat illa
Like all of your girls but blonder
– Sicut omnes puellae tuae sed flava
A little like me, just younger
– A parum similis mei, sicut iunior
Bet she loves when she hears you say
– Et ille amat quando audivit
“You’re so mature for your age, babe”
– “Aetatem tuam tam maturam es, babe”
She looks
– Spectat illa
Like she could be your daughter
– Sicut filia tua esse potuit
Like me before I got smarter
– Sicut mihi antequam surrexit smarter
When I was flattered to hear you say
– Et ego, quando recordatus fuero, pertimesco,
“You’re so mature for your age, babe,” oh
– “Tu tam matura es propter aetatem tuam, babe, ” o
You dim all the lights so you look real wise
– Lumina omnia obscurant ut verum sapientem spectes
As they trace the lines underneath your eyes
– Et fugit ad salices, et se cupit ante videri.”
And mistake your charm for a cosmic sign
– Et errorem tuum leporem pro signo cosmico
Now, now
– Nunc, nunc
I can’t put it on them, it’s his best trick
– Non possum posuit super eos, suus ‘ optimus dolum suum
And they’re taking the bait just like I did
– Et ipsi erant ‘ taking esca sicut feci
She looks
– Spectat illa
Like all of your girls but blonder
– Sicut omnes puellae tuae sed flava
A little like me, just younger
– A parum similis mei, sicut iunior
Bet she loves when she hears you say
– Et ille amat quando audivit
“You’re so mature for your age, babe”
– “Aetatem tuam tam maturam es, babe”
She looks
– Spectat illa
Like she could be your daughter
– Sicut filia tua esse potuit
Like me before I got smarter
– Sicut mihi antequam surrexit smarter
When I was flattered to hear you say
– Et ego, quando recordatus fuero, pertimesco,
“You’re so mature for your age, babe”
– “Aetatem tuam tam maturam es, babe”
Watched the tide rise up as high as you got on me
– Vidi ascendentes de terra quam viderunt me
Listening to Strawberry Letter 23
– Audire Fragum Littera 23
Hid my car at Carbon Beach so I wasn’t seen at yours
– Currum Meum ad Litus Carbonis abscondit sic apud tuos non vidi
You knew better of course
– Vos sciens melius sane
Oh, you’re so mature
– O tam mature es
You’re so mature
– Tam mature es
Oh
– O
She looks
– Spectat illa
Like all of your girls but blonder
– Sicut omnes puellae tuae sed flava
A little like me, just younger
– A parum similis mei, sicut iunior
Bet she loves when she hears you say
– Et ille amat quando audivit
“You’re so mature for your age, babe”
– “Aetatem tuam tam maturam es, babe”
She looks (She looks)
– Il est mignon il te ressemble=)
Like she could be your daughter
– Sicut filia tua esse potuit
Like me before I got smarter
– Sicut mihi antequam surrexit smarter
When I was flattered to hear you say
– Et ego, quando recordatus fuero, pertimesco,
“You’re so mature for your age, babe”
– “Aetatem tuam tam maturam es, babe”
Watched the tide rise up as high as you got on me
– Vidi ascendentes de terra quam viderunt me

– Audire Fragum Littera 23
Hid my car at Carbon Beach so I wasn’t seen at yours
– Currum Meum ad Litus Carbonis abscondit sic apud tuos non vidi
You’re so mature for your age, babe
– Tutto diventa vecchio, forse anch ‘ io
