No More Miss Nice
Ashley Ballard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the things I now.
I was too blind to see,
the things you were doing to me.
How dare you ask me why,
there's no more you and I.
If you really wanna know,
here we go...
bridge:
Number 1,
how come we were never having fun?
Number 2,
why do you always have that attitude?
Number 3,
can we blame it on your jealously?
Number 4
no more, why can't you see?
chorus:
If you think I'll take you back
your in for a surprise
You'll never be the one for me.
Second time around I know
you gotta pay the price
you got to be, your not to be.
If you think I'll let you play
this game not once, but twice
there will be no more miss nice.
Verse 2:
My heart's on lock down
so don't you come around.
Cause I'll unplug the phone,
I'm better off alone.
Do you remember when
*you can be my hottie hottie*
but that was back then,
no longer your girlfriend.

I should've know about,
the things i know now.
How dare you ask my why?
there's no more you and I.
eeh yeah
To be or not to be
I've thrown away the key.
Baby it's plain to see
no more miss nice.
Cause you will never be
the only one for me.
Baby it's plain to see
no more miss nice.

Pay the price
Once or Twice
No miss nice
The song “No More Miss Nice” by Ashley Ballard is about a woman who has finally had enough of her partner’s mistreatment and decides to take a stand. She expresses her disappointment in how blind she was initially, to not recognize the things her partner was doing to her. Her partner, who is now asking why things have ended between them, is given a blunt answer in the form of a numbered list. The list indicates the issues she has had in the relationship with him, including his attitude and jealousy.
The singer then pledges to move on and end the relationship, expressing that she is now better off alone. She reminds her partner that he will never be the only one for her and warns him that if he thinks he can take her for granted and play games with her again, there will be no more miss nice. The song highlights empowerment and a certain degree of self-realization that you no longer have to tolerate mistreatment in your love life.
