"Superfly Sister" is a song by Michael Jackson released as the third track from the Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix album.
Background[]
The song was written and produced with Bryan Loren. Its origins date back to 1990, as it was a contender for Dangerous. However, the song was not fully finished and did not make the final selection for the album.
Years later, it was completed for the Blood on the Dance Floor album in 1997, with Loren adding the guitar solo and a keyboard part and Michael recorded the ad-libs.[1]
Lyrics[]
[Intro]
Hee-hee!
Show me
Hoo!
Oh, oh
Hee!
[Chorus]
Love ain't what it used to be
That is what they're tellin' me
Push it in, stick it out
That ain't what it's all about (Oh)
[Verse 1]
He wanna do somethin' keen to you
He wanna wrap his arms all around ya, girl
He wanna shake it up, shake it down, doin' it right
He wanna jump back, half flap, doin' it right
He wanna lay you down, turn it up, shakin' it loose
He wanna fly high, nigh high, baby, for you'se
He wanna motormouth, float around, baby, the back
He wanna shake it up, shake it down, movin' 'round, ha-ha
[Chorus]
Love ain't what it used to be (Hee!)
That is what they're tellin' me
Push it in, stick it out
That ain't what it's all about (Oh)
Susie like to agitate
Get the boy and make him wait
Mother's preachin' Abraham
Brothers, they don't give a damn (Oh)
[Verse 2]
He wanna do somethin' keen to you
He wanna wrap his arms all around ya, girl
He wanna glue it up, keep it high, deep in the night
He wanna eyeball, get hard, playin' it right
He wanna turn the key, hurt the sheets, move to the left
He wanna hot scrub, hot love, makin' it wet
He wanna give hot, jump shot, move to the left
He wanna time bar, slam dunk, ha-ha-ha
[Ad-libs]
Hoo!
Keep it goin' (Hoo!)
Party down
Hoo! Hoo!

Love ain’t what it used to be (Aaow!)
That is what they're tellin' me
Push it in, stick it out
That ain't what it's all about (Oh)

[Chorus]
Johnny's beggin' "pretty please" (Keep the brother on his knees)
Keep the brother on his knees (Hoo-hee!)
Susie likes to agitate (Keep doin' it, keep doin' it) (Hee!)
Get the boy and make him wait (Oh)
Sister's married to a hood (Hoo!) (Oh)
Saying that she got it good (Hoo!)
Holy Mary, mercy me (Hee!)
I can't believe the things I see
Thinkin' that they got it made (Hoo!)
They doin' what they used to hate
Push it in, stick it out (Keep doin' it, keep doin' it)
That ain't what it's all about (That ain’t what it's all about)
Holy Mary, mercy me (She's holy Mary, moly Mary)
