Mystery Man Lyrics

Don't hide from me baby
Shame on you
Incognito baby you're so crude
I don't mind
Take my hand
Baby I want to be your mystery man

Yeah you got ruby lipstick
Too much rouge
And dime store jewelry
Cheap perfume
I don't mind, take my hand
Honey I want to be your mystery man

You know I do, you know I do
Oh you know I do, you i do
Yeah you know I do, you know I do
Baby you know I do, you know I do

(Chorus)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
