(What they do)    (They smilin' in your face)

All the time they want to take your place, the back stabbers

     (back stabbers)     (They smilin' in your face)

All the time, they want to 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 sure look shady

Blades so long, clenched tight in their fists

Aimin' straight at your back, and I don't think they'll miss

     (What they do)    (They smilin' 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, 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 out my back

     (What they do)    (They smilin' in your face)

All the time they want to take your place, the back stabbers

     (back stabbers)

Ha, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, low down, dirty

     (What they do)    (They smilin' in your face)

All the time they want to take your place, the back stabbers

     (back stabbers)     (They smilin' in your face)

All the time, they want to take your place, the back stabbers

     (back stabbers)

I don't need low down, dirty bastards (back stabbers)
