Don't Be Commin'
Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You spending many, many nights home alone
You won't be seeing me around your way
No, No
And if you don't get it together
Baby I can't stay
[Chorus:]
Trying to tell me you love me
You should of thought once or twice
Sacrifice and make it right
It's the thing that you do
Make me not love you
Go this way and you'll see
Get no other love like me
You never know I'm for real till I leave
And when I pack up my clothes don't be calling me
You won't be seeing me
Anymore
No, no
Cause when I'm long, long gone
I won't be back in this door
[Chorus]
To my east side people to my west side
To all my bitches who sat home crying
Over these niggas and over these fellows
Shake em off like Jello
To my east side people to my west side
To all my bitches who sat home crying
Over these niggas and over these fellows
Shake em off like Jello
[Chorus:]
I used to stick closer to your side then a beeper
Till you smoked that cheaper reefer
Now you loony as fita, cheddar
Don't say a word
Yep I got the word
Yeah I heard it from a little bird
Now I'm out the door
My four four
You don't know?
Get your bags and your things take the door
Don't take this shit no more
When you leave
You can leave out the back door
[Missy]
Fucker
Stupid niggas
Who always think they can play somebody
Y'all know who y'all are
Trying to run about 3-4-5 women at one time
Now you want to come back all in our faces
Telling me how much you love me and all that bullshit
Whatever man
Fuck you
Alright, I'm out
The song "Don't Be Commin' in" by Missy Elliott is about a woman who has had enough of her partner's bad behavior and decides to leave him. Despite giving him many chances before, she finally decides to move on because he took her and their relationship for granted. In the chorus, Missy Elliott is telling her ex-partner not to come back begging and professing his love for her. She insists that he should have thought twice before treating her poorly and neglecting their relationship, and now she is done with him.
The lyrics are empowering, as Missy Elliott reminds us of the value of self-respect and not accepting bad behavior from a partner. The message of the song is clear: if someone is not treating you the way you deserve to be treated, then you should walk away and not give them another chance. The song is, therefore, a warning to those who do not appreciate their partner and take them for granted.
One of the interesting facts about "Don't Be Commin' in" is that it was co-written by Timbaland, who also produced the track. The song was released in 1998 as part of Missy Elliott's debut album "Supa Dupa Fly." It reached number 10 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and was a hit in many countries worldwide. The song's catchy beat and Missy Elliott's unique rap style helped it become one of her most successful singles to date.
Another interesting fact about the song is that it was sampled by Mariah Carey for her hit single "Heartbreaker" in 1999. Mariah sampled the chorus of "Don't Be Commin' in" for her song, which became one of her biggest hits of the late 1990s.

Line by Line Meaning
You never know a good thing till I'm gone
You fail to recognize my value until I leave
You spending many, many nights home alone
Your unappreciative ways have led you to loneliness
You won't be seeing me around your way
You will not have access to my presence anymore
No, No
Absolutely not
And if you don't get it together
Unless you mend your ways
Baby I can't stay
I cannot continue to be with you
Don't be comin' in my face
Do not approach me directly
Trying to tell me you love me
Attempting to profess your love for me
You should of thought once or twice
You should have considered your actions more carefully
Sacrifice and make it right
Make the necessary effort to fix our relationship
It's the thing that you do
Your behavior is the problem
Make me not love you
Your actions have caused me to fall out of love with you
Go this way and you'll see
If you choose to continue down this path
Get no other love like me
You will not receive love like mine from anyone else
You never know I'm for real till I leave
My true intentions are not realized until I'm gone
And when I pack up my clothes don't be calling me
Do not contact me after I have left
Anymore
Never again
Cause when I'm long, long gone
When I have been absent for a long time
I won't be back in this door
I will not return to this place
To my east side people to my west side
To my friends on both sides of town
To all my bitches who sat home crying
To all the women who stayed at home and cried
Over these niggas and over these fellows
About these men who mistreat them
Shake em off like Jello
Move on from them quickly and easily
I used to stick closer to your side then a beeper
I used to be very loyal to you
Till you smoked that cheaper reefer
Until you started using low-quality marijuana
Now you loony as fita, cheddar
Now you're crazy and broke
Don't say a word
Do not speak
Yep I got the word
I received the message
Yeah I heard it from a little bird
I heard it from a secret source
Now I'm out the door
I am leaving now
My four four
My handgun
You don't know?
Do you not understand?
Get your bags and your things take the door
Gather your belongings and leave through the exit
Don't take this shit no more
Do not tolerate this behavior any longer
When you leave
As you depart
You can leave out the back door
Use the rear exit to leave
Fucker
A derogatory term directed at a man
Stupid niggas
An insulting term directed at foolish men
Who always think they can play somebody
Who think they can manipulate others
Y'all know who y'all are
Those who this applies to are aware of it
Trying to run about 3-4-5 women at one time
Attempting to have multiple romantic partners at once
Now you want to come back all in our faces
Now you want to return and interact with us again
Telling me how much you love me and all that bullshit
Claiming to love me and making other insincere statements
Whatever man
I do not care
Fuck you
An exclamation of anger and frustration towards a man
Alright, I'm out
I am leaving now
