Yeah
I could tell she's tongue tied when she looks at my eyes
It's alright, gonna be alright
You belong to me
You're my girl, you're my world
So why you looking lonesome?
Oh
You don't gotta be lonely anymore

Why, oh why? Why, oh why?
Why does she want what's gonna make her cry?
Why? Why, Madeline?

Why does she want what's gonna hurt her
Every night? Every night? Every night?
Oh, why? Why? Why, Madeline?

That name you call your man ain't gonna treat you right
So why you wasting all your time?
Madeline, Madeline

You belong to me
You're my girl, you're my world
So why you looking lonesome?
Oh
You don't gotta be lonely anymore

Why, oh why? Why, oh why?
Why does she want what's gonna make her cry?
Why? Why, Madeline?

Why does she want what's gonna hurt her
Every night? Every night? Every night?
Why? Why? Why, Madeline?

​blackbear

blackbear is the stage name of LA-based producer and singer-songwriter Mat Musto, popularly known for co-writing Justin Bieber’s “Boyfriend,” in 2012. Some of his first collaborations were with the likes of Pharrell Williams, MGK, and Childish Gambino. Later, Musto reinvented himself—he coined the name blackbear from a previous EP titled Year of the Blackbear. Under his new name, he started leaning more towards rapping and an R&B-oriented style.

His first mixtape Sex included collaborations with his peers James Blake, Maejor Ali, and “Boyfriend” co-writer Mike Posner. The Afterglow followed in 2014.

In 2015, blackbear released “idfc,” as the lead single from his debut album Deadroses. It increased his fan following and revenue, earning him millions of playback streams and a spot on Billboard’s Uncharted List of Undiscovered and Upcoming Artists. The second single, “90210,” included a feature from G-Eazy—blackbear made an appearance in his 2014 track, “Remember You.”
