The Lying Eyes of Miss Erray
I the Mighty Lyrics

Seems like you already know
It appears that you have prior knowledge of what I want to say.

I'd love to have your name and a moment alone.
I want to know your name and talk to you privately.

You whisper that you'd have no other way.
You quietly express that there's only one option.

So I take you by your waist and head for the door.
I grab you around the waist and move towards the exit.

But then you stop and look me up and down as if to say:
However, you pause and examine me from top to bottom, indicating something.

"Boy you better prepare yourself, for your legs are gonna shake."
"You should brace yourself because this will be intense and overwhelming."

And I was all but clay within your hands.
I was completely vulnerable and under your control.

You had me line and sinker, hopeless in romance.
You had complete control over me, I was helpless and in love.

I felt your current pull me under, but you held your hand out.
I experienced the attraction and pressure, but you offered help or relief.

Now you're the only one who knows my future.
You hold the power and knowledge over what will happen next.

Lift me up, or let me drown...
Save me or let me sink into despair and failure.

Miss Erray, you won't get the best of me.
You won't succeed in manipulating or deceiving me anymore.

You drop them a line, they take the bait
You send a message and they fall for it easily.

And I will not make that same mistake.
I won't repeat that error, I'm smarter now.

Oh Miss Erray, you know just how to make me stay.
You know exactly how to make me remain in this toxic cycle.

When I finally get ahead, I fall right back in your bed.
Whenever I start to make progress, I end up back under your control.

Is that really how you make it up to me?
Is that your way of apologizing or making amends with me?

With a little more fire, a little more love between the sheets.
With more physical intimacy or passion in our time together.

(Hey! Hey!) Well, I will never be the sad and lonesome creep
I won't be the person who feels lonely and miserable after a meaningless encounter.

Who gets off from the awkward pause that only break up sex can bring.
Who enjoys the awkward moment after a break up that leads to physical intimacy.

Just one more to remember...
One more encounter that will stay in my memory.

And one more just for fun...
Another encounter that's purely for pleasure or enjoyment.

Baby give me one more for forever
Another encounter that I want to remember and cherish forever.

So I can fill this filthy void until the next one.
So that I can temporarily fill the emptiness or loneliness until the next encounter.

You play the game so well
You're skilled at manipulating or deceiving others.

But what's your game plan when time spoils those goods you sell?
What's your strategy or plan when your tricks and schemes stop working?

Miss Erray, you've gotten the best of me.
You've succeeded in controlling and deceiving me.

But I am not afraid to take back all that you took from me.
But I'm not scared to reclaim what you've stolen or taken from me.

Oh Miss Erray, you can no longer make me stay.
You can't make me stay or control me anymore.

'Cause I've found myself again, a new place to lay my head.
Because I've rediscovered my sense of self and a better place to rest.

So how you gonna make it up to me? (Hey! Hey!)
So how do you plan to make it up to me or make things right between us?
