Brenda's Always In The Way

 

Always in the way (little, little Brenda)

 

Brenda, Brenda, Brenda, Brenda’s always in the way

Always in the way, always in the way

No one has the guts to tell her “Girl you’re in the way”

Can’t get by today

You’re always in the way”

 

Brenda, Brenda, Brenda, Brenda’s always in the way

Always in the way, always in the way

Wish I had the nerve to tell her “Girl, just move this way

Or the other way

You’re always in the way”

 

Brenda, Brenda, Brenda, Brenda’s always in the way

Always in the way, always in the way

No one has the guts to tell her “Girl you’re in the way”

Can’t get by today

You’re always in the way”

 

Brenda, Brenda, Brenda, Brenda’s always in the way

Always in the way, always in the way

For as long as I’ve known that she has been this way

Caused the twins’ delay

She’s always in the way

 

Brenda, Brenda, Brenda, Brenda’s always in the way

Always in the way, always in the way

Wish I had the nerve to tell her “Girl, just move this way

Or the other way

You’re always in the way”

 

Brenda, Brenda, Brenda, Brenda’s always in the way

Always in the way, always in the way

No one has the guts to tell her “Girl you’re in the way”

Can’t get by today

You’re always in the way”

 

You want to see a movie – not quite

You want to walk around her – too tight

The locker room was once our domain
But now we look at her with disdain

 

You’d better hope a fire don't start
Or want to just admire some art
You better count the bodies in bed
Your lover might be Brenda instead

 

Little, little Brenda, little, little Brenda
Always in the way, always in the way
Wish I had the guts to level with you, Brenda
Always in the way, always in the way

As constructive criticism, Brenda, may I say
Though you're a-OK, you're always in the way
