Mis-Teeq Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Glance across the room its 8:45
Can't forget to hang the washing out to dry
Pick out my clothes so I can hit 'em with my style
Wash up my face and brighten up my smile
Fix up my hair and add some sheen so I can shine
Look at my watch it's saying 10:45
Grab me some breakfast, time to jump in my ride
My family is calling
I've been on the move since morning
Trying to fit it all in
Wish I could add some more hours to the day
[Chorus]
Check my mum and make sure she's OK
All in one day
Cook and clean cause nothing seems to change
It's everyday
Get my nails done, take a trip to Spain
Back the same day
Text my friends and drink some chilled Rosé
All in one day
On the move we keep on going no time to lose
And we're just trying to keep the day running smooth
Who says that we can't have our cake and eat it too
Benn to the gym and now I'm feeling energized
I had to exercise and tone up my thighs
But I got to pay m bills they're on the red line
Gotta rush myself to the meter now before I get a fine
Went to my mum and now she's cooking the dinner
I got to wait for the chicken to simmer
Rice and peas with some sweet plantine
Go grab your coat
Let's go shopping in Spain
As we listen to the man sing Andala
We roll down the street street to the bay
Buy what we can buy and head back to the plane
Cause we've only got one day to
[Chorus]
All my girls shout
Let me see my sisters who go all out
Freshly dipped in caramel tans with the back out
When we do it right you know it's gonna last all night
When we get together know it's gonna be all high
And we don't need no fellas to spoil out vibe
And we goin' keep it rocking till the morning light
And we goin' keep it popping till the
Damn I forgot to call my man
Baby I'm sorry I'm late
Gonna make it up to you
When you get home you just wait let me make it up to you
Bubble bath running down my body end of the day
Candle light upon my window pane
Sounds like the rain
No telephone,
Turn off the lights, lets get it on
There's no one here but you and I
Goodnight my love, goodnight
Mis-Teeq's song "All In One Day" is all about trying to fit everything into one day. The song starts with the singer waking up early and getting ready for a busy day. She has to hang the washing out, pick out her clothes, and fix up her hair before grabbing some breakfast and jumping in her car. Her family is calling, and she has been on the move since morning, trying to fit everything in just one day. She wishes she could add some more hours to the day to accomplish everything she wants.
As the song progresses, the singer goes to the gym, pays her bills, and goes to her mum's house, where she waits for dinner to get cooked. She decides to take a trip to Spain with her friends, listening to the man sing "Andala" as they roll down the street. Then, they buy what they can and head back to the plane, realizing they've only got one day to do everything they want to do.
The chorus of the song talks about making sure her mum is okay, cooking and cleaning every day, getting her nails done, going to Spain, drinking Rosé, and a lot more – all in one day. The song ends with the singer taking a bubble bath and getting ready for bed, thinking about her loved one.
