  • You're getting in the way
    Of what I'm feeling
    You're getting in the way
    Of what I'm feeling

    Sista 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 a
    I see your intentions
    You can't handle the truth
    He let you go a long time ago
    Now it's time to turn and lose

    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 y'all)
    You're getting in the way
    Of what I'm feeling
    (Of my feelings)

    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 rings off
    Give me some Vaseline
    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)

    You're getting in the way
    (You're getting in my way)
    Of what I'm feeling
    (Of what I'm feeling)
    You're getting in the way
    (You're getting in my 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)
    Everything was beautiful between me and him
    And here come you and your big mouth talking about me
    (You better back down before you get smacked down, you better chill)
    (You're getting in the way, of what I'm feeling)
    Telling him that you seen me up 24th Street
    (You better back down before you get smacked down, you better chill)
    (You're getting in the way, of what I'm feeling)
    With them other cats, but you know that's a lie
    (You better back down before you get smacked down, you better chill)
    (You're getting in the way, of what I'm feeling)
    You keep lying to my man girlfriend
    I'm gon' take you out in the middle of the street and whoop your tail
    (You better back down before you get smacked down, you better chill)
    (You're getting in the way, of what I'm feeling)
    For all it's worth, $5.99 or something like that

    (You better back down before you get smacked down, you better chill)
    (You're getting in the way, of what I'm feeling)
    (You better back down before you get smacked down, you better chill)
    (You're getting in the way, of what I'm feeling)
    (You better back down before you get smacked down, you better chill)
    (You're getting in the way, of what I'm feeling)
    I ain't playing with you
    (You better back down before you get smacked down, you better chill)
