[Intro]
Uh
Mmm, mmm, mmm

[Chorus]
Ow, she's a brick house
She's mighty mighty, just letting it all hang out
Ah, she's a brick house
I like ladies stacked and that's a fact
Ain't holding nothing back
Ow, she's a brick house
Well put together, everybody knows
This is how the story goes

[Verse 1]
She knows she's got everything
Mmm, that a woman needs to get a man, yeah, yeah
How can she lose with the stuff she use?
36-24-36, ow, what a winning hand

[Chorus]
'Cause she's a brick house
She's mighty mighty, a-just letting it all hang out
Ah, she's a brick house
Ow, like ladies stacked and that's a fact
Ain't holding nothing back
Oh, she's a brick house
Yeah, she's the one, the only one built like an Amazon

[Verse 2]
Mmm, the clothes she wear, her sexy ways
Make a old man wish for younger days, yeah, yeah
She knows she's built and knows how to please
Sure 'nough to knock a strong man to his knees

[Chorus]
'Cause she's a brick house
Yeah, she's mighty mighty, just letting it all hang out
A brick house
I like ladies stacked and that's a fact
Ain't holding nothing back, yow

[Chorus]
Brick house
Yeah, she's mighty mighty, a-just letting it all hang out
Ow, a brick house
Yeah, she's the one, the only one built like an Amazon, yeah

[Refrain]
Shaka gow shaka gow shaka now now

Ow, a brick house

Commodores are an American funk/soul band, which was at its peak in the late 1970s through the mid 1980s. The members of the group met as mostly freshmen at Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University) in 1968, and signed with Motown in November 1972, having first caught the public eye opening for The Jackson 5 while on tour.
