Hey there, Bret
I see you looking down
Dont want to see my little buddy there with a frown
Just because I get more women than you
Thats only because they dont know you like I do.
Sure, youre weedy and kinda shy
But some girlie out there must be needy for a weedy shy guy.
They want you as a needle when theyre rolling in the hay.
Just hear me out when I say
Bret, you got it goin on.
The ladies get to know your sexuality
When they get to know your personality.
I said, Bret, you got it goin on.
Not in a gay way
Just in a hey, mate,
I want to say that youre looking okay, mate.
Why cant a heterosexual guy tell a heterosexual guy
That he thinks his booty is fly?
Not all the time, obviously
Just when hes got a problem with his self esteem
Dont let anybody tell you youre not humpable
Because youre bumpable
Well, I hope this doesnt make you feel uncomfortable
If I say youve got a boom o wow
Come on, Bret
Help me out now
Bret you got it goin on.
(Bret)I got it goin on.
Thats the conclusion that Ive come to
But that doesnt mean that I want to bum you.
Bret, youve got it goin on
(Bret)Got it goin on
No doubt about it
Wed 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, if I was your man
Well, 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
Put a wig on you
Ooh ooh ooh
And I just laid there and spooned you
Bret, youve got it goin on
