scarlett letters - I don't think Erykah Badu tries to be all "cool and in charge" in her songs. She's just real. I've heard her sing about her own weaknesses, her insecurities & trying to be a strong woman. But anyway, I don't think the mickey line is to be taken seriously, she's speaking metaphorically. I took it as the man took it too far in trying to seduce her - not literally putting a mickey in her drink, but in her life.
