Bad Self Portraits

Lake Street Dive

I bought this camera

To take pictures of my love

Now that he's gone

I don't have anybody to take pictures of

Along some highway

Is pretty good subjects

I'm gonna make myself make use of this thing

I'm taking landscapes

I'm taking still lifes

I'm taking bad self portraits

Of a lonely woman

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

I'm taking night classes

I'm making sculptures

I'm painting bad self portraits

Of a lonely woman

Whoo oo oo

Whoo oo oo

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

Stuck taking landscapes

Stuck taking still lifes

Stuck making sculptures

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

Whoo oo oo ooh yeah

Oh oh

Whoo oo oo
