Gettin' In The Way lyrics

[Chorus]

You're getting in the way of what I'm feeling

You're getting in the way of what I'm feeling

You're getting in the way of what I'm feeling

You're getting in the way of what I'm feeling

[Verse 1]

Sister girl, I know you don't understand

But you going have to understand he's my man now

What you had is gone, our thing is sweet

Our thing is stronger than any lie you can tell on me

He knows my heart and that's the part

Yo roots are dug up so you might as well give up

I see your intentions, you can't handle the truth

He let you go a long time ago now it's time to turn him loose

[Chorus]

You're getting in the way of what I'm feeling

(You're getting in my way)

You're getting in the way of what I'm feeling

You're getting in the way of what I'm feeling

(My feelings, you're...)

You're getting in the way of what I'm feeling

(...getting in the way of what I'm feeling)

[Verse 2]

Sugar honey girl, fly, fly away

I been a lady up to now, don't know how much more I can take

Queens shouldn't swing if you know what I mean

But I'm bout to take my earrings off get me some Vaseline

[Bridge]

(You better go on get out my face girl you better chill)

Chill and I mean it

(You better back down before you get smacked down you better chill)

You better relax yourself

(You better go on get out my face girl you better chill)

He's my man and nobody else's

(You better back down before you get smacked down you better chill)

You better back down

[Chorus]

You're getting in the way of what I'm feeling

(You're getting in the way of what I'm feeling)

You're getting in the way of what I'm feeling

(You better back down)

You're getting in the way of what I'm feeling

(You're getting in the way)

You're getting in the way of what I'm feeling

[Verse 3]

Everything was beautiful between me and him

And here come you and your big mouth talking about me

Telling him that you seen me up 24th Street

With them other cats, but you know that's a lie

You keep lying to my man girlfriend

I'm go take you out in the middle of the street and whoop your tail

For all this worth, 5.99 or something like that

[Outro]

(You better back down before you get smacked down you better chill)

(You better back down before you get smacked down you better chill)

(You better back down before you get smacked down you better chill)

I ain't playin' wit' ya

(You better back down before you get smacked down you better chill)
