Little Miss Prissy
Little Miss Prissy: Love's Dime and Timeless Bite
Lyrics
Well I know a little lady, she lives down London way,
Introduction to a woman living in London who talks incessantly without much substance in her speech.
She talks and talks all night, but she ain't got much to say.
She talks a lot but lacks substantial content in her conversation.
She don't need no ones opinion, don't want no interruptions,
She doesn't seek or value others' opinions and dislikes interruptions.
Just shuts up long enough to reapply the suction
She remains silent only momentarily to resume talking, akin to using conversation as a form of suction or distraction.
Well she's little miss prissy, and she love you,
She's described as "little miss prissy" and claims affection but lacks substantial value.
but she ain't worth a dime
Despite love or affection, she's considered worthless or of little value.
Well I swallow all her comments, make her all remarks,
The speaker absorbs her remarks and comments.
When I finally get her where I want her,
Once the speaker gains control, her actions become more aggressive or unpleasant.
Her bite's worse than her bark.
Her negative actions or behavior are stronger than her words.
Well she's little miss prissy, she love you,
Reiteration of her affectionate side but still deemed unworthy of time or attention.
but she ain't worth the time
Despite love, she's not deserving of attention or investment.
She ain't worth the time
Reiteration of her lack of worthiness for time or attention.
Well I know a little lady, she lives down London way,
Reintroduction of the woman with the same characteristics.
She talks and talks all night, but she ain't got much to say.
Similar repetition of her talking without much meaningful content.
She don't need no ones opinion, don't need no interruptions,
Reiteration of her disregard for opinions and interruptions.
Just shuts up long enough to reapply the suction
Again, her brief silence before resuming talking is likened to a suction or distraction.
Well she's little miss prissy, and she love you,
Reiteration of her affectionate side but still deemed unworthy of time or attention.
but she ain't worth the time
Despite love, she's not deserving of attention or investment.
She ain't worth the time
Reiteration of her lack of worthiness for time or attention.
but she ain't worth the time
Emphasis on her lack of worthiness for time or attention.
She ain't worth the time. Oh no
Strong emphasis on her unworthiness for time or attention.
Well she's little miss prissy, and she love you,
Despite love, she's not deserving of attention or investment.
but she ain't worth the time
Final emphasis on her lack of worthiness for time or attention.
