Back Stabbers Lyrics

(what they do)
(they smile in your face)
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers (back stabbers)
(they smile in your face)
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers (back stabbers)

All you fellows who have someone
And you really care, yeah, yeah
Then it’s all of you fellows
Who better beware, yeah yeah
Somebody’s out to get your lady
A few of your buddies they sure look shady
Blades are long, clenched tight in their fist
Aimin’ straight at your back
And i don’t think they’ll miss

(what they do)
(they smile in your face)
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers (back stabbers)
I keep gettin’ all these visits
From my friends, yeah, what they doin to me
They come to my house
Again and again and again and again, yeah
So are they there to see my woman
I don’t even be home but they just keep on comin’
What can i do to get on the right track
I wish they’d take some of these knives off my back

(what they do)
(they smile in your face)
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers
(back stabbers)
Low down, dirty

(what they do)
(they smile in your face)
Smiling faces
Smiling faces sometimes tell lies (back stabbers)
(they smile in your face)
I don’t need low down
Dirty bastards (back stabbers)
