Gettin' In the Way Lyrics
(Chorus)
You're gettin' in the way
Of what I'm feelin'
Sister-girl, I know you don't understand
But you 'gone have to understand
He's my man now
What you had is gone
I think it's sweet
I think it's stronger than any lie you can 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 it loose
(Repeat Chorus 4X)
Sugar, honey, girl--fly, fly away
I've been a lady up til now
Don't know how much more I can take
Queens shouldn't swing, if ya know what I mean
But I'm 'bout to take my earrings off
Get me some vaseline
(I'm 'bout to off, in your face girl, you better chill)
You better back down, before you get smacked down)
(Repeat 3x)
You better back down
(Repeat Chorus 4X)
Everything was beautiful between me and him
And here come you and your big mouth
Talkin' 'bout me
Telling him that you seen me
Up 24th Street with some other cat
But you know it's a lie
You keep lying to my man
Girl, I'm afraid I'm gonna take you out in the street and whoop your tail
For all it's worth
$5.99 or something like that
Of what I'm feelin'
But you 'gone have to understand
He's my man now
I think it's sweet
I think it's stronger than any lie you can on me
He knows my heart
And that's the part
Your roots are dug up
So you might as well give up
You can't handle the truth
He let you go a long time ago
Now it's time to turn it loose
I've been a lady up til now
Don't know how much more I can take
But I'm 'bout to take my earrings off
Get me some vaseline
You better back down, before you get smacked down)
And here come you and your big mouth
Talkin' 'bout me
Telling him that you seen me
Up 24th Street with some other cat
But you know it's a lie
You keep lying to my man
Girl, I'm afraid I'm gonna take you out in the street and whoop your tail
For all it's worth
$5.99 or something like that

My dad told me this: when he was in high school, girls would put vaseline on their faces before a fight to protect them if they get scratched. I never saw girls do that when I was in high school, so I thought that was pretty funny.
