Missy Lyrics

I told her once
Get thee behind me

Cover up Missy for the love of God
I can't not look, I can't not look
And I can’t do a thing about what I saw
Though I wish I could, I wish I could

She told me once
Sit down beside me

I told her twice
Get thee behind me

Strip down Missy it's 11 AM
I'm gonna wake up soon, gonna wake up soon
I bet you say that to all of the dreaming men
That get lucky with you, get lucky with you

She told me once
Lay down beside me
And I laid down beside her

Too real, too quick, too close to home
Too much to take the task alone
Can I have just a little taste
Too hot, too sweet, too bad and too late
I told her three times
Get thee behind me

Float away Missy like a wisp of smoke
That I could’ve inhaled, maybe could’ve inhaled
And I'll sing your praises everywhere I go
Such a pretty girl, such a beautiful girl

She told me once
You won't forget me

And I won't forget her

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
