Mystery Girl Lyrics
It was the struggle of the century
And all the grown men came to see
The girl who could tame the tigers
Yeah, yeah, the heart of the southern mothers
They found her under the sea
She said she came from cell block 3
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
I love mine cold-hearted
Take a deep breath, babe, because we just started
Mystery girl, mystery girl
Keep on faking your mystery world
Because mystery boys will be your toys
Yeah, the mystery boys will be your toys
Not a day goes by, I want to disappear
Into her eyes a mother pearl
And my head feels dead from all this useless fighting
But my heart ain't dead because 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
I love mine cold-hearted
Take a deep breath, babe, because we just started
Mystery girl, mystery girl
Keep on faking your mystery world
Because mystery boys will be your toys
Yeah, the mystery boys will be your toys
Mystery boys will be your toys
Mystery boys will be your toys
And all the grown men came to see
The girl who could tame the tigers
Yeah, yeah, the heart of the southern mothers
They found her under the sea
She said she came from cell block 3
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
I love mine cold-hearted
Take a deep breath, babe, because we just started
Mystery girl, mystery girl
Keep on faking your mystery world
Because mystery boys will be your toys
Yeah, the mystery boys will be your toys
Not a day goes by, I want to disappear
Into her eyes a mother pearl
And my head feels dead from all this useless fighting
But my heart ain't dead because 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
I love mine cold-hearted
Take a deep breath, babe, because we just started
Mystery girl, mystery girl
Keep on faking your mystery world
Because mystery boys will be your toys
Yeah, the mystery boys will be your toys
Mystery boys will be your toys
Mystery boys will be your toys

wuts this song about?
Well, in an interview she did with "The Advocate," Karen O was asked if the song was about a girl crush, and she responded, "That song wasn’t about a particular girl. When I first started writing songs, the subject (the person I was singing about or to) would be a girl. But there are two types of girls I get crushes on. One is the sort of girl who’s really got it together and who has a sort of boyish look and who’s really got it going on. And then the other is the blond cheerleader type who has like a lip ring or something like that but yet is still just clueless."

Can never get enough of the yyys!
im trying to date this 'mysterious' girl right now. she has strange emotional prolems, but im saying the chorus " mystery boty will be your toy" it is kindof provoking that if a girl acts mysterious, she can get the mysterious boys. its unrelated to my thing with the girl; dont kno why i mentioned it lol ohhh because im putting it on the mixtape for her :D
