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
[Verse 2: Meghan Trainor]
All my girls say, "Lock him down
Guys like him don't come around
Go and pick your wedding rings" (Say what?), mm
Yeah, my mom thinks you're legit
But I'm way too young for this
So I'ma tell you what I think, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Meghan Trainor]
You were sweet when we're kissin' (Kissin')
But there's somethin' I'm missin' (Missin')
Baby, there's no chemistry (No, no, no)
Yeah, we look good on paper (Paper)
You can call me a hater (Hater)
But let's talk honestly, hey, uh (Woo)

[Chorus: Meghan Trainor]
No, you ain't the perfect match for me, eh (Oh, no, no)
You were so close, my Mr. Almost
I hope I didn't come off as a tease, eh (Eh-eh)
You were so close, my Mr. Almost

[Post-Chorus: Meghan Trainor & Shy Carter]
I know that this could be alarmin' (Hey)
But you can't go and call me boo (Hey)

I'm lookin' for my Prince Charming (Hey)
So close, my Mr. Almost (Oh)
No, you ain't the perfect match for me, eh (Cut it out, cut it out)
Oh, darlin', you were so close, my Mr. Almost
[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

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.
