Oops
Tweet & Missy Elliott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I came home, say around a quarter to three
Still so high, hypnotized
In a trance, from his body
So buttery brown and tantalizing
You would have thought I needed help
From this feeling that I felt
So shook I had to catch my breath
Oops, there goes my shirt up over my head, oh my
Oops, there goes my skirt droppin' to my feet, oh my
Ooh, some kind of touch caressing my legs, oh my
Ooh, I'm turnin' red, who could this be?
I tried and I tried to avoid
But this thing was happening
Swallowed my pride, let it ride and partied
But this body felt just like mines
I got worried, I looked over to the left
A reflection of myself
That's why I couldn't catch my breath
Oops, there goes my shirt up over my head, oh my (oh my)
Oops, there goes my skirt droppin' to my feet, oh my (oh my)
Ooh, some kind of touch caressing my legs, oh my (oh my)
Ooh, I'm turnin' red, who could this be?
I looked over to the left
Mmm, I was lookin' so good I couldn't reject myself
I looked over to the left
Mmm, I was feelin' so good I had to touch myself
I looked over to the left
Mmm, I was eyein' my thighs, butter pecan brown
I looked over to the left
Mmm, coming out of my shirt and then my skirt came down
Oops, there goes my shirt up over my head, oh my (oh my)
Oops, there goes my skirt droppin' to my feet, oh my (oh my)
Ooh, some kind of touch caressing my legs, oh my (oh my)
Ooh, I'm turnin' red, who could this be?
Oops, there goes my shirt up over my head, oh my (oh my)
Oops, there goes my skirt droppin' to my feet, oh my (oh my)
Ooh, some kind of touch caressing my legs, oh my (oh my)
Ooh, I'm turnin' red, who could this be?

Tell you what I did last night
I am going to share a story with you about something that happened to me last night
I came home, say around a quarter to three
I arrived at my home at approximately 2:45 am
Still so high, hypnotized
I was still under the influence of a drug and feeling mesmerized
In a trance, from his body
I was in a state of hypnosis from the effect of his body on mine
So buttery brown and tantalizing
His skin was smooth, creamy and very attractive to me
You would have thought I needed help
Anyone observing me might have thought I was in distress due to my reaction to him
From this feeling that I felt
I was experiencing a powerful and intense emotion
So shook I had to catch my breath
I was so overwhelmed that I had to take deep breaths to calm myself
Oops, there goes my shirt up over my head, oh my
My shirt accidentally came off over my head and I was surprised
Oops, there goes my skirt droppin' to my feet, oh my
My skirt unexpectedly fell down to my feet and I was shocked
Ooh, some kind of touch caressing my legs, oh my
I felt a touch on my legs and it felt pleasurable
Ooh, I'm turnin' red, who could this be?
I blushed and wondered who the person touching me was
I tried and I tried to avoid
I attempted to resist the situation and not give in to it
But this thing was happening
Despite my attempts, the situation was still taking place
Swallowed my pride, let it ride and partied
I decided to ignore my reservations and continue to enjoy the moment
But this body felt just like mines
The sensation of his body felt very familiar and comfortable
I got worried, I looked over to the left
I became concerned and turned to look at my reflection
A reflection of myself
I saw my own reflection staring back at me
That's why I couldn't catch my breath
I was so startled by my own reflection that I had trouble breathing
Mmh, I was lookin' so good I couldn't reject myself
I was feeling attractive and saw no reason to resist my own desires
Mmm, I was feelin' so good I had to touch myself
I felt so good that I gave in to the urge to touch myself
Mmm, I was eyein' my thighs, butter pecan brown
I admired my own thighs and perceived them as smooth and buttery brown
Mmm, coming out of my shirt and then my skirt came down
As I touched myself, my shirt came off and my skirt fell down
