Bye Bye

Missy Elliott · Other Songs - Missy Elliott

Hey, you nigga

Tell me what the issue?

All up in the booty like tissue

Could it be how Missy so vicious

Make you so suspicious



I been known to beat them bitches with those switches

If you wanna roll with those sissies

You can't roll with Missy I'ma kiss you on your cookie

Show these pussies I'm the rookie



Sleep while your homeboy book me

(Fikky, fikky, fikky)

Is you mad cause I'm took and got you shooken



You think you slick

Tried to play a dirty trick

On this heart of mine

You thought that I was blind



You took your pick

Between this other girl and me

She was a friend of mine

I got your ass this time



Don't you come here talking

That bull shit to me

(To me)

I ain't the one you with tears in your eyes

Won't shed the lies you told to me

(To me)

So get up out my face



Bye

(It ain't a, it ain't a)

Bye bye

(You can cry all you want to)

Bye (I caught you)

You coulda stopped by, you got me hurting inside

You shoulda never lied

Bye

(Bye)

You shouldn't have kept that trick on the side



You think you bad

Lost the only love you had

Looking for someone

Who you could fuck for fun

(Ficky, ficky, ficky)



Why stay with me

If what you wanna do is play

Take your tricks somewhere

And keep your hoe ass there

(You can stay right there)



Don't you come here talking

That bull shit to me

(To me)

I ain't the one you with tears in your eyes

Won't shed the lies you told to me

(To me)

So get up out my face



Bye

(It ain't a, it ain't a)

Bye bye

(You can cry all you want to)

Bye (I caught you)

You coulda stopped by, you got me hurting inside

You shoulda never lied

Bye

(Bye)

You shouldn't have kept that trick on the side



Shouldn't have kept

Shouldn't have kept that trick on the side

Then maybe I, I wouldn't of had to say goodbye



Bye

(It ain't a, it ain't a)

Bye bye

(You can cry all you want to)

Bye (I caught you)

You coulda stopped by, you got me hurting inside

You shoulda never lied

Bye

(Bye)

You shouldn't have kept that trick on the side



All you had to do was ask me

If I was nasty lasting

Won't quit until the sun set

Read my lips



I'd like to know who that bitch in the flick is

Who you cheesing with, I'm about to flip

Know what I'd do if I drink a brew

Uhh Miller boo

Kick 1-2 Kung Fu

You and your boo



The worst thing you could ever do

Is have a chick on the side, right?

True

(True, true)



Bye

(It ain't a, it ain't a)

Bye bye

(You can cry all you want to)

Bye (I caught you)

You coulda stopped by, you got me hurting inside

You shoulda never lied

Bye

(Bye)

You shouldn't have kept that trick on the side



Bye

(It ain't a, it ain't a)

Bye bye

(You can cry all you want to)

Bye (I caught you)

You coulda stopped by, you got me hurting inside

You shoulda never lied

Bye

(Bye)

You shouldn't have kept that trick on the side



Bye

(It ain't a, it ain't a)

Bye bye

(You can cry all you want to)

Bye (I caught you)

You coulda stopped by, you got me hurting inside

You shoulda never lied

Bye

(Bye)

You shouldn't have kept that trick on the side
