...wait up!

And you just have to answer one question, within yourself.

Will you pluck it?

There was this girl,

She was walking,

They wanna say hi,

They turn their head,

Her eyes are closed,

She's on her way,

She's off of work,

Done for the day,

Magnolia, yeah,

That's her name,

She walks right by,

My smiling face,

Please turn around,

No I won't frown,

No just in case,

She sees my face,

Yeah,

Magnolia, ayy,

Magnolia, oh, uh,

Magnolia, ayy, uh,

Magnolia ayy, uh,

Magnolia, yeah,

Magnolia, ayy,

Magnolia, oh, uh,

Magnolia, ayy, mm,

Magnolia, ayy, unh,

Magnolia...

Aye,

Maggie come be with me,

I am the only one that you should see,

Think about all of the things we could be,

If you curious, come chill with me, ayy,

17 letters a day, that's how many she get, that's crazy, but,

If I stop writing them now, she might end up thinking I'm lazy, huh,

Yeah, I'm kidding, I ain't really got all that written,

I ain't really got 17 letters hidden all under my bed,

Under my head, where sweet dreams are bred, ayy

Maggie running all through my mind while I'm sleep, and my heart's on the line,

Baby hurry up, cause I'm running out of time,

I really want you to be mine,

Can't you

See that I'm

Waiting for

You, I'm not

Sure what you,

Think hesitating will do

For us now, but I'm not hating on you,

I don't mind waiting for you,

Hear what I'm stating to you,

Be what? I'm playing so cool...

Gotta get up, I'm gonna be late...

Yeah,

Magnolia, ayy,

Magnolia, oh, uh,

Magnolia, ayy, uh,

Magnolia ayy, uh,

Magnolia, yeah,

Magnolia, ayy,

Magnolia, oh, uh,

Magnolia, ayy, mm,

Magnolia, ayy, unh,

Magnolia...

Now she walkin' by,

She catch my eye,

But I don't catch hers,

She free like a bird,

She do what she want after work, and she don't speak a word,

To anybody sittin' on a stoop tryna holla

She can't be bothered, even a baller,

They don't got a chance,

She got her plans,

Yeah,

[yuh], see?

Magnolia real different,

From the outside,

Real distant,

By herself, no real friends, but listen

When she sees what she wants,

No distance can distance her from this dance she does.

Understand?

She's on the move, always, and...

I just want her hand,

I wanna be her man.

Yeah,

Magnolia, ayy,

Magnolia, oh, uh,

Magnolia, ayy, uh,

Magnolia ayy, uh,

Magnolia, yeah,

Magnolia, ayy,

Magnolia, oh, uh,

Magnolia, ayy, mm,

Magnolia, ayy, unh,

Magnolia...
