The O'jays – Back Stabbers lyrics

What they do?
They smile in your face.
All the time, they wanna take your place.
The back stabbers. (Back stabbers)
They smile in your face.
All the time, they wanna take your place.
The back stabbers. (Back stabbers)

All you fellas who have someone
And you really care. Yeah, yeah.
Then it's all of you fellas who better beware. Yeah, yeah.
Somebody's out to get your lady.
A few of your buddies, they sho' look shady.
The blades are long, clenched tight in their fists
Aiming straight at your back and I don't think they'll miss.

What they do?
They smile in your face.
All the time, they wanna take your place.
The back stabbers. (Back stabbers)

I keep getting all these visits from my friends.
Yeah, what they doing to me.
They come to my house again and again and again and again, yeah.
So how they dare to see my woman.
I don't even be home, but they just keep on coming.
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 wanna take your place.
The back stabbers. (Back stabbers)

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
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)
(They smile in your face.) Da, da, da, da, da.
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da. (Back stabbers)
(They smile in your face.) Might be your neighbor.
Your next door neighbor, yeah, yeah, (Back stabbers) might be dirty.
(They smile in your face.) Dirty.
