So Fly
The Childish Gambino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They wanna know what, I couldn't say who
You are the only one who's
Ever really seen me
I know that I'm the reason that
You don't watch any TV
I wanna lay on your stomach so bad
And it gets a little quiet
And I don't really understand
The thing we had
I wanna try again, but it would just be sad
And oh, oh whoa
You are the only one who's ever let me be me
We can make it easy, we can do it simple
I'll be waiting right there
Promise to be gentle
Sitting by your window, girl
You're so fly to me
So fly, girl, you're so fly
So fly, girl, you're so fly
So fly, girl, you're so fly to me
So fly, girl, you're so fly
So fly, girl, you're so fly
So fly, girl, you're so fly to me
Oh, oh oh, yeah
Oh, oh oh, yeah
Oh, yeah will it be tonight
I won't let you down, oh oh
We can make it easy, we can do it simple
I'll be waiting right there
Promise to be gentle
Sitting by your window, girl
You're so fly to me
So fly, girl, you're so fly
So fly, girl, you're so fly
So fly, girl, you're so fly to me
So fly, girl, you're so fly
So fly, girl, you're so fly
So fly, girl, you're so fly to me
