Backstabbers
(What they do, do)
Smiling in my face
And all the time they wanna take my place
Backstabbers (backstabbers)
So they smiling in my face
All the time they wanna take my place
The backstabbers (backstabbers)
Everybody, who really have someone
And if you really, really care
Then I'm telling everybody
That you've gotta beware, yeah
Somebody's out to take your baby
And a few of your best friend sure look shady
The blades are long, clenched tight in their fist
Aimin' straight at your back
And I just don't think they'll miss
Oh, no (What they, they, they)
They keep smiling in your face
All the time they wanna take your place
The backstabbers (backstabbers)
A house full of visitor
Always around, calling themselves my friends
Oh, they keep coming around
Time and time and time and time again
I know they're trying to take my baby
Even though I'd never home they just keep on comin'
What can I do to get them on the right track?
Oh, I wish they would take these knives out of my back
(What they do, do) oh, whoa
They keep smiling in my face
All the time they wanna take my place
Backstabbers (backstabbers)
(What they do, do)
They keep smiling in my face
All the time they wanna take my place
(Backstabbers)
Talking about the backstabbers
(Smile in my face all the time) oh
I know they just wanna take my place (backstabbers)
(They just keep smiling in my face)
Two-faced (all the time they want to take my place) move it
They just wanna take my place (backstabbers)
(They keep smiling in my face) my face
(All the time they want to take my place) all the time, baby
Just wanna take my place (backstabbers)
They just keep smiling in my face (ooh-ooh)
(All the time they want to take my place) yeah
(Backstabbers)
Smiling in my face
And all the time they wanna take my place
Backstabbers (backstabbers)
So they smiling in my face
All the time they wanna take my place
The backstabbers (backstabbers)
Everybody, who really have someone
And if you really, really care
Then I'm telling everybody
That you've gotta beware, yeah
Somebody's out to take your baby
And a few of your best friend sure look shady
The blades are long, clenched tight in their fist
Aimin' straight at your back
And I just don't think they'll miss
Oh, no (What they, they, they)
They keep smiling in your face
All the time they wanna take your place
The backstabbers (backstabbers)

Just wanna take my place (backstabbers)
They just keep smiling in my face (ooh-ooh)
(All the time they want to take my place) yeah
