Lyrics

Robyn with a Why?

Miss Magnolia love can’t hold ya
Tell me what a poor boy’s gotta do
I’ve seen your bloodshot eyes and satellite smile
Beaming through the clouds and burning through
And I got high and I was lying right by your side

Your low-cut tops and blue jeans stop
Every man you pass in your neighborhood
But you love their eyes
You need those spies
To teach you something no lover could, so good
You got high
They named you with a question that you’ve never tried
You got high
They call you Robyn with a Why?

You’ve been a baby’s mother and a broken lover
But you never let it be misunderstood
It’s just stems and seeds
Your sticky sweet weed
Was the only thing that ever loved you good, so good
You got high
They named you with a question can you answer mine?
You got high
They couldn’t be too sure, so they named you Robyn with a…

Why be strong?
It’s like you’ll never be someone’s too long
You’ll just throw it all away on anything that gets you through
And this much is true
My love will get you high…

This much is true
My love will get you high
They call you Robyn with a why…
Why? Why? With a why?…
