Sugar Magnolia Songtext
von Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs

Sugar magnolia, blossoms blooming
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 skimming 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


She can dance a Cajun rhythm
Jump like a Willys in four wheel drive
She′s a summer love for spring, fall and winter
She can make happy any man alive

Sugar magnolia, ringing that bluebell
Caught up in sunlight, come on out singing
I'll walk you 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
Lazing in the sunshine, yes, indeed

Sometimes when the cuckoos crying
When the moon is half way down
Sometimes when the night is dying
I take me out and I wander around, I wander ′round

Sunshine, daydream, walking in the tall trees
Going where the wind goes, blooming like a red rose
Breathing more freely, ride our singing
I'll walk you in the morning sunshine
Sunshine, daydream
