[Verse 1]
It was the struggle of the century
And all the grown men came to see
The girl who could tame the tiger, yeah, yeah
The heart of the southern lovebirds
They found her under the sea
She said she came from cell block three
The girl hit hard like a barracuda, baby
She floated on air like the crest of a wave
She was a primal institution
She was a danger to herself, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Mad loving by the cold-hearted
Take a deep breath, babe, 'cause we just started
[Chorus]
Mystery girl, mystery girl
Keep on faking your mystery world
'Cause the mystery boys will be your toys, yeah
The mystery boys will be your toys
[Verse 2]
Not a day goes by I wanna disappear
Into her eyes, a mother of pearl
And my head feels dead from all this useless fighting
But my heart ain't dead 'cause it keeps on loving
The girl hit hard like a barracuda, baby
She floated on air like the crest of a wave
She was a primal institution
She was a danger to herself, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Mad loving by the cold-hearted
Take a deep breath, babe, 'cause we just started
[Chorus]
Mystery girl, mystery girl, yeah
Keep on faking that mystery world
'Cause the mystery boys will be your toys, yeah
The mystery boys will be your toys, yeah
[Outro]
The mystery boys will be your toys, yeah
The mystery boys will be your toys
They'll be your toys, yeah girl
They'll be your toys, alright
