Lyrics Sugar Magnolia - Matthew Sweet, Susanna Hoffs

Sugar Magnolia

Sugar magnolia, blossoms bloomin',
Heads' all empty, and I don’t care,
Saw my baby down by the river,
Knew she’d have to come up soon for air.
Sweet blossom come on, under the willow,
We can have high times if you’ll abide,
We can discover the wonders of nature,
Rolling in the rushes down by the riverside.
She’s got everything delightful,
She’s got everything I need,
Takes the wheel when I’m seeing double,
Pays my ticket when I speed.
She comes skimmin' through rays of violet,
She can wade in a drop of dew,
She don’t come and I don’t follow,
Waits backstage while I sing to you.
Well, she can dance a cajun rythymn,
Jump like a Willys in four wheel drive.
She’s a summer love in the spring, fall and winter;
She can make happy any man alive.
Sugar magnolia, ringing that bluebird,
Caught up in sunlight, come on out
Singing and walking in the sunshine,
Come on honey, come along with me.
She’s got everything delightful,
She’s got everything I need,
A breeze in the pines and the sun and bright moonlight,
Lazin' in the sunlight, yes indeed.
Sometimes when the cuckoo’s crying,
When the moon is half way down,
Sometimes when the night is dying,
I take me out and I wander round, I wander round.
Sunshine, daydream,
Walkin' in the tall trees,
Going where the wind goes,
Blooming like a red rose,
Feeling more freely,
Ride out singin', I’ll walk you in the morning sunshine,
Sunshine, daydream
Sunshine, daydream
