Mr. Almost Lyrics
[Intro: Meghan Trainor]
Eh
Mm
[Verse 1: Meghan Trainor]
Tryna force a puzzle piece
Not a perfect fit for me
But they told me give it time, mm
Maybe Cupid missed my chest
'Cause I keep lookin' left
And you ain't Mr. Right
[Pre-Chorus: Meghan Trainor]
You're so sweet when we're kissin'
But there's somethin' I'm missin'
Baby, there's no chemistry
Yeah, we look good on paper
You can call me a hater
But let's talk honestly, hey, uh
[Chorus: Meghan Trainor]
No, you ain't the perfect match for me, eh
You were so close, my Mr. Almost
Hope I didn't come off as a tease, eh
You were so close, my Mr. Almost
Eh
Mm
[Verse 1: Meghan Trainor]
Tryna force a puzzle piece
Not a perfect fit for me
But they told me give it time, mm
Maybe Cupid missed my chest
'Cause I keep lookin' left
And you ain't Mr. Right
[Pre-Chorus: Meghan Trainor]
You're so sweet when we're kissin'
But there's somethin' I'm missin'
Baby, there's no chemistry

All my girls say, "Lock him down
Guys like him don't come around
Go and pick your wedding rings" (Say what?), mm

[Verse 3: Shy Carter]
Mr. Almost a billionaire
Mr. Almost yours 'till you almost caught feelings there (Where?)
Right there at the Bluebird
When we were singin' them songs we wrote
This is what you said and I quote
"I love you, baby, baby, so much, you the one
Ain't nobody better than you up under the sun"
This the part where I run, this the part where I dip
But I still love them hips (Hey, hey)
[Chorus: Meghan Trainor & Shy Carter]
No, you ain't the perfect match for me, eh (For me, babe, hey; yes, I'm here though)
You were so close, my Mr. Almost (Woo)
I hope I didn't come off as a tease, hey (Hey, hey, no, no)
You were so close, my Mr. Almost (A Mr. Almost)
[Post-Chorus: Meghan Trainor & (Shy Carter)]
I know that this could be alarmin'
But you can't go and call me boo (Hey)
I'm lookin' for my Prince Charmin'
So close, my Mr. Almost (A Mr. Almost)
No, you ain't the perfect match for me, eh (The perfect match for me)
Oh, darlin', you were so close, my Mr. Almost
[Outro: Shy Carter]
Mr. Almost a billionaire

Ain't nobody better than you up under the sun"
This the part where I run, this the part where I dip

What did Meghan Trainor say about "Mr. Almost"?
Genius Answer
This is a hot track, ‘cause I had my buddy Shy Carter come in. He’s an incredible songwriter and rapper, and he came in and spit a verse for me. And I sent it to him and in an hour he sent it and recorded it right away. This is, uh, it had a lot to do with my past relationships, my “Mr. Almost.” They’re almost perfect, and then it didn’t happen, and, uh, a lot of people can relate to that.
