My Name Is Cynthia

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There was a broad I knew named Cynthia She kept her coat on in July She said, “It’s all in your head,” then smiled Like she had filed the whole reply [Pre-Chorus] Don’t be Shaquai, she said to me As if that settled everything I laughed too late, she checked the time And tapped her spoon against the sink [Chorus] It is what it is, what it is That’s the line she leaves me with I screwed school, I missed the mark Still I know just who you are My name is Cynthia, say it clear My name is Cynthia, I’m still here [Verse 2] A blue pen rolling off the desk A note folded into four The bell rang out; I stayed behind And read the same old words once more [Pre-Chorus] Don’t be Shaquai, she said again Then shrugged like rain against the glass I took the long way home that day And let the bus go rushing past [Chorus] It is what it is, what it is That’s the line she leaves me with I screwed school, I missed the mark Still I know just who you are My name is Cynthia, say it clear My name is Cynthia, I’m still here [Bridge] Maybe it was just a bad week Maybe I was hard to reach Maybe all that sounded certain Was a thought I couldn’t keep [Final Chorus] It is what it is, what it is Now I hear the joke in it I screwed school, I missed the mark Still I get to make a start My name is Cynthia, say it clear My name is Cynthia, I’m still here My name is Cynthia—here, here, here [Outro] It is what it is My name is Cynthia
