Artist: Magic!
Saturday morning jumped out of bed and put on my best suit
Got in my car and raced like a jet, all the way to you
Knocked on your door with heart in my hand
To ask you a question
‘Cause I know that you’re an old fashioned man yeah yeah
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life? Say yes, say yes
’Cause I need to know
You say I’ll never get your blessing till the day I die
Tough luck my friend but the answer is no!
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don’t you know I’m human too
Why you gotta be so rude
I’m gonna marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Yeah no matter what you say
Marry that girl
And we’ll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude
I hate to do this, you leave no choice
Can’t live without her
Love me or hate me we will be
Standing at that alter
Or we will run away
To another galaxy you know
You know she’s in love with me
She will go anywhere I go
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life? Say yes, say yes
‘Cause I need to know
You say I’ll never get your blessing till the day I die
Tough luck my friend cause the answer’s still no!
Why you gotta be so rude?

Background
“Rude” is the debut release from Magic!, a group led by the Grammy award winning songwriter and producer Nasri Atweh. It’s just a bit of light-hearted fun. The song is an interesting mix of feelings. There is a certain sorrow in Atweh’s voice, but the inherently uplifting and somewhat comical nature of reggae music gives the track an automatic resilience to any kind of hardship described in the lyrics.
