What they do!
They smile in your face
All the time they want to take your place
The 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 smile in your face
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers
I keep gettin' all these visits from my friends, yeah,
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
They smile in your face
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers
Low down... dirty...
What they do!
They smile in your face
Smiling faces... smiling faces sometimes tell lies
Back stabbers
(Fire it up and read it again:)
Bahlactus never cheats.
LOVED this, Bully!!! Unfortunately the video didn't play, but, I've got it rockin' in my brain! The 'back-stab-ers'!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe O'Jays AND judo action Doctor Strange!
ReplyDeleteBully, once again you rule!!
Brilliant, Bully! Loved the video tie-in! Outta sight!
ReplyDeleteY'know, little stuffed bull, while I agree this-here is some seriously cool, ah, *stuff*...you do seem awfully tired and cranky lately re: the comics universe in general. Would a mug of hot cocoa help?
ReplyDeleteWow, the O Jays on Soul Train. Even without the Doc Strange stuff, this would be good content.
ReplyDeleteBetween The O'Jays and Ditko-era Dr. Strange, you just about made my day!
