Bret, You Got It Going On

[size=133:pd49rkqd]Bret, You Got It Going On

Hey there, Bret. I see you looking down.
Don't want to see my little buddy there with a frown.
Just because I get more women than you,
Well, that's only because they don't know you like I do.
Sure you're weedy and kind of shy,
But some girlie out there must be needy for a weedy, shy guy.
They want you as their needle when they're rolling in the hay.
Just hear me out when I say ...

Bret, you got it going on.
The ladies will get to know your sexuality
When they get to know your personality.
I said: Bret, you got it going on.
Not in a gay way, just in a: Hey, mate,
I wanted to say that you're looking okay, mate.

Why can't a heterosexual guy tell a heterosexual guy
That he thinks his booty is fly?
Not all the time, obviously.
Just when he's got a problem with his self-esteem.
Don't let anybody tell you you're not humpable,
Because you're bumpable.
Well, I hope this doesn't make you feel uncomfortable
If I say you got a boom-ow-ow.
Come on, Bret. Help me out now.

Bret, you got it going on.
(I got it going on!)
That's the conclusion that I've come to,
But that doesn't mean that I want to bum you.
Bret, you got it going on.
(Got it going on.)
No doubt about it, we'd be getting crazy
If one of us was lucky enough to be born a lady.

Ooh, if one of us was a lady
And I was your man, if I was your man.
Well, 'cause sometimes it gets lonely,
And I need a woman,
And then I imagine you with some bosoms.
In fact, one time when we were touring
And I was really lonely
And we were sharing that twin room in the hotel,
I put a wig on you.
When you were sleeping, I put a wig on you, ooh.
And I just lay there and spooned you.

Bret, you got it going on.

Oh, if one of us was a lady, yeah
And I was your man, I was your man.
Well, 'cause sometimes it gets lonely
When we're touring
And I need a woman, oh, I need a woman.
Little friend, ooh,
You look good when I put a wig on you.
When you're sleeping, and I put a wig on you.
That's right, I lie down and put a wig on you.
I put a wig on you
And pretend you're my ex-girlfriend
Or sometimes Winona Ryder.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!

[size=133:89faoyhh]Little man, I see you looking down.
Don't want to see my little buddy down with a frown.
Just because I get more women than you,
Well, that's only because they don't know you like I do.
Sure you're weedy and kinda shy,
But some girlie out there must be needy for a weedy, shy guy.
They want you as their needle when they're rolling in the hay.
Just hear me out when I say ...

Bret, you’
ve got it going on.
The ladies will explore your sexuality
When they get to know your personality.
I said: Bret, you’
ve got it going on.

Not in a gay way, just in a: Hey mate,
I wanted to say that you're looking okay, mate.
Why can't a heterosexual guy tell a heterosexual guy

Bret, you got it going on.
No doubt about it, we'd be getting crazy
If one of us was lucky enough to be born a lady.

Oh, if one of us was a lady,
And I was your man, I was your man.
Sometimes when we're touring
it gets so lonely
And I need a woman, and then I imagine you with bosoms

And /...?/ be
And sometimes, sometimes when you sleep in our hotel room
I sneak up to you
And I put a wig on you
And lie next to you
But I never choo-choo-bam, never choo-choo-bam
You look like a princess in a cage
and I’
m a magical... mate

Bret you’
ve got it going ooo-ho-hooo-on
yeah
Bret, you got it going on.
