Missy Elliott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you got plenty more to show, go

Shake it like a pom pom, like a pom pom
Go, like you tryna win a contest for sure

Now don't you wanna tape
A booty shakin' on your tape?
So show it to your boys and
See the look on all they face

Move it to the right
Double time, double time, all right
Show 'em what they like
Look at it, look at it
Slow motion, freeze
Stop for the camera
Paparazzi wanna see

Now let me see if you can do it
Drop, drop, drop, drop, drop it on the one
Shake, shake, shake, shake
They faces all stunned
If you got it, got it, got it
Then move if kinda fast
If the boys all dance
While they tryna make a pass
Whistle while you work

Has anybody ever told you you look like Beyonce?
OK lil' boy want to boost my esteem

Cause you look like a fiend
Don't want to start a scene

And even if you spend your green
You ain't get in between

Keep on looking for clean
And like a diamond ring bling
See who wants get the wet dream

Shake it like a pom pom, like a pom pom
Go, like you tryna win a contest for sure

With my tight skirt on
Wearing my tight skirt

Like a movie in three dimensions
He was watchin' the thong
He was looking at my thong underwear
All up in my grill
In my face, too close
So he asked could he tag it
He asked if he could touch it
Two-timing from an ish like maggots
Cheating on his significant other, like maggots on decaying matter
He tryin' to spit the game
He's trying to flirt or seduce me
What he had to say
What he said to me
Has anybody ever told you you look like Beyonce?
Has anyone ever told you that you look like Beyonce?
OK lil' boy want to boost my esteem
Ok, little boy wants to flatter me
I said you need a rehab
I replied that he needs treatment for his addiction
Cause you look like a fiend
Because he looks like a drug addict
Don't want to start a scene
I don't want to cause trouble
I ain't tryin' to be mean
I'm not trying to be rude
And even if you spend your green
Even if you spend your money
You ain't get in between
You won't get in between me and my goals
Cause this here queen
Because I'm a queen
Keep on looking for clean
Keep on looking for purity or a clean lifestyle
And like a diamond ring bling
And shining like a diamond ring
See who wants get the wet dream
See who wants to fulfill their sexual fantasies
