Don't Be Commin'
Missy Misdemeanor Elliott Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You never know a good thing till I'm gone
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:]
Don't be comin' in my face
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
