Misty
Kelly Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, Misty
What's on your mind?
You look miles away
You can't find your smile?

Hey, Misty
Getting jealous again?
Your man's going out
Yet you're still stuck in

Hey, Misty
Your mind's racing 'round
You're thinking the worst
What could be going down?

Hey, Misty
Gotta let it all go




Or it will drag you down
And bury you in a hole, hole, hole, hole
