Lyrics
[Intro]
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're gonna 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
Your 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 (You're getting in the way of my feelings)
[Verse 2]
Sugar honey girl, fly, fly away
I've been a lady up till 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]
I'm 'bout to go off in your 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
I'm 'bout to go off in your face, girl
He's my man, girl, nobody else's
You better chill
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 my way of what I'm feeling)
You're getting in the way of what I'm feeling (You're getting in my way, you better back down)
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
[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 gon' take you out in the middle of the street and whoop your tail
For all it's 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 playing with ya)
You better back down before you get smacked down
You better chill
