Mis-Teeq Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you think your so beautiful
i bet you nine out of ten would fall
i ain't the one to be the fool
2 days to work you out
at home while you were out
your last name came about when my girl's sister's best friend
talking 'bout how you came round
chorus
how does it feel
when your sittin alone
there's no-one else at home
it's my time for thrills
now it's time you listen to my answer phone
ain't no big deal
your just one of a million guys
lets keep it real
your dirty laundrys out to dry
so mr know-it-all
tell me how many points you scored
whilr you're clocking the girl next door
i know what you've been doing
to dinner bought her gifts
for afters you were it
i called work they said you were sick
a guy like you will never hit this
chorus x2
middle 8
if you wanna find someone you could call mine
a lady who's right
who'll be there for life
so how will you feel if the truth is revealed
if you stayed the same you'll be played at your own game
chorus x4
The lyrics to Mis-Teeq's "How Does It Feel" talk about a woman who has been romantically involved with a man who she now realizes isn't worth her time. In the first verse, she addresses the man as "mr wonderful," indicating that he is pompous and thinks highly of himself. She then goes on to say that many women might fall for his charms but she's not one of them. She has spent two days trying to figure him out, and in doing so, she's discovered that he's not as great as he thinks he is. While he was out, she learned that his last name came up in a conversation between her friend's sister and best friend, indicating that he has a reputation (not a good one).
The chorus seems to address how the man is feeling now that the singer has left him. She asks him how he feels when he's alone, and she's off having her own fun. She's reminding him that he's just one of a million guys and that he needs to own up to his mistakes.
In the middle 8, she tries to warn the man that he needs to change his ways if he ever wants to find someone who will stay with him for life. She hints that the truth about his actions will be revealed, possibly leading to him being played at his own game.
