[Intro: Whitney Houston, (Missy Elliott)]
Hey, this is Whitney and Missy, y'all
(Ninety-nine, uh)
Hey Missy, can you believe this, girl?
Misdemeanor
Missy, Missy Misdemeanor, uh
You heard? (Uh-huh)
Ha-ha, ha (Yo)
[Verse 1: Whitney Houston]
Lately, babe
I get so many people telling me
They're seein' you up in the mall
Are they mistaken?
All up on some chick as though I don't exist
What is this, oh Lord?
[Chorus: Whitney Houston & Missy Elliott]
Why they all in my business?
It's just too ridiculous
I can't get no sleep
They just keep warning me
Should I believe it?
They say I don't need it
Don't they know I made up my mind, my mind?
[Verse 2: Whitney Houston]
They're hounding me
Too many people say you're faking me
They ask, "What have you done lately?"
They say we won't last
They're predicting that it's over, it's over
[Break: Missy Elliott]
Too many girls, they dislike me
Since I got you, they wanna fight me
'Cause I'm the chick walkin' 'round with the ring
Tell me why these hoes, they don't even like me
Too many girls, they dislike me
Since I got you, they wanna fight me
'Cause I'm the chick walkin' 'round with the ring
Tell me why these hoes, they don't even like me
[Chorus: Whitney Houston & Missy Elliott, (Whitney Houston)]
(Why they all in our business?)
Why they all in our business?
It's just too ridiculous (So ridiculous)
I can't get no sleep (They won't let me sleep)
They just keep warning me (Oh, baby)
Should I believe it?
They say I don't need it (Don't need it)
Don't they know I made up my mind, my mind? (My, my, my, my, my, my mind)
Why they all in our business? (My Lord)
It's just too ridiculous (So ridiculous)
I can't get no sleep (I've got to sleep, y'all)
They just keep warning me
Should I believe it? (Believe it)
They say I don't need it (I don't need it)
Don't they know I made up my mind, my mind?
[Bridge: Whitney Houston]
Oh, boy (Oh, boy, now)
It's all the love (It's all that love that)
That you've given (That you've given me)
They mad
'Cause love is what they're missin' (Mad 'cause love is what they missin', oh, I know)
That's why they stay (That's why they stay up in my)
Up in my business
[Chorus: Whitney Houston & Missy Elliott, (Whitney Houston)]
(They all up in our business)
Why they all in our business? (Up in my business)
It's just too ridiculous (So, so ridiculous)
I can't get no sleep (I've lost sleep now)
They just keep warning me (Stop callin' me)
Should I believe it? (Don't believe it)
They say I don't need it
Don't they know I made up my mind, my mind?
Why they all in our business? (Ooh-ooh-ooh, baby)
It's just too ridiculous (Ooh-ooh-ooh, baby)
I can't get no sleep (I just can't sleep, no)
They just keep warning me (Keep on warning me)
Should I believe it? (Don't wanna believe it)
They say I don't need it (Oh)
Don't they know I made up my mind, my mind? (My, my, my mind, oh)
[Outro: Missy Elliott]
Why you all in my business?
