"Missy" lyrics - PUNCH BROTHERS

I told her once, "Get thee behind me."
Cover up, Missy, for the love of God
I can't not look, I can't not look
And I can't do a thing about what I saw
Though I wish I could, I wish I could
She told me once, "Sit down beside me."

I told her twice, "Get thee behind me."
Strip down, Missy, it's eleven AM
Gonna wake up soon, gonna wake up soon
I bet you say that to all of the dreaming men
Getting lucky with you, getting lucky with you
She told me once, "Lay down beside me."
And I lay down beside her

Too real, too quick, too close to home
Too much to take to task alone
And not have just a little taste
Too hot, too sweet, too bad, too late
I told her three times, "Get thee behind me."

Oh float away, Missy, like a wisp of smoke
That I could've inhaled, maybe could've inhaled
And I'll sing your praises everywhere I go
Such a pretty girl, such a beautiful girl
She told me once, "You won't forget me."
And I won't forget her
