Brick House (lyrics) 

Chorus:
She's a brick----house
Mighty might just lettin' it all hang out
She's a brick----house
The lady's stacked and that's a fact, 
ain't holding nothing back. 

She's a brick----house
She's the one, the only one, 
who's built like a amazon 
We're together everybody knows, 
and here's how the story goes. 

Verse:
1. She knows she got everything
a woman needs to get a man, yeah. 
How can she use, the things she use
36-24-36, what a winning hand! 


(Chorus)


Verse:
2. The clothes she wears, the sexy ways, 
make an old man wish for younger days
She knows she's built and knows how to please
Sure enough to knock a man to his knees


(Chorus)


Bridge:
Shake it down, shake it down now (repeat)
