Back Off Songtext
von Holly Near

If you want to hold me, hold me with open arms
The fact that I′ve got self respect is no cause for alarm
But if you've got a game to do, a lie or a sham or a trick or two
You better back off

If you want to love me, love me with all your heart
If you want a journey, I′ve got a good stride, that's a start
But if you've got a game to do, a lie or a sham or a trick or two
You better back off


Fool, you′re wasting your time
Got evil thoughts climbing in your mind
Fool, you′re walking down danger street
Ain't nobody′s love gonna be there
On the other end to meet you

Sure you're looking pretty, the prettiest I′ve ever seen
But pretty doesn't do too much good if honey you treat me mean
So if you′ve got a game to do, a lie or a sham or a trick or two
I think you better back off
(You give me inspiration, a woman is a work of art)
