Back stabbers lyrics
by O'Jays



What they do

(They're smiling in your face)
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers (Back stabbers)

(They're smiling 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're smiling 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're smiling in your face)
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers (Back stabbers)

Low down, dirty

What they do

(They're smiling in your face)
Smiling faces, smiling faces some times
(Back stabbers)

(They're smiling in your face)
By no means, no, now, dirty bastards
(Back stabbers)

(They're smiling in your face)
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da (Back stabbers)

(They're smiling in your face)
Your next door neighbour
Da, da, da (Back stabbers)
