lyrics
Backstabber
She walked into my life like an angel of light
All rhythm and heat
And then she gave me that Judas kiss
And looked at me like a piece of meat
I should’ve known right from the start
The world’s a stage and she’s playin’ a part
She’s the Brutus to my Caesar heart
Backstabber, backstabber
You tell her all your secrets in the dead of night
Backstabber, backstabber
And then she spreads it around in the broad daylight
I used to think I weren’t no trustin’ man
Still I come back my hat in my hand
Cause she says she’ll never do it again
I remember my momma when she told me
About Jesus and the crucifixion
The girl's a wolf in a sheepskin suit
Scrambled eggs in my benediction
Fool me once it ain’t so nice
Shame on me when she fooled me twice
She got snakes in her hair and a heart made of ice
Backstabber, backstabber
You tell her all your secrets in the dead of night
Backstabber, backstabber
And then she spreads it around in the broad daylight
She turns me on like the flick of a switch
Been seven years and I still got the itch
I never thought I’d love a cold hard bitch
Mentirosa, she knows how to play
She gives you nada then she leaves you to pay
La chingada, es puta, guey
Backstabber, backstabber
You tell her all your secrets in the dead of night
Backstabber, backstabber
And then she spreads it around in the broad daylight
She cuts through me like the winter wind
I think I need her like a saint needs sin
And I know I’ll let her do it again
You know that girl she’s a…
Backstabber
She likes to give it to me
Backstabber
She likes to stick it in
Backstabber
