"Back Stabbers" lyrics

"Back Stabbers"
(originally by The O'Jays)

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 are long clenched tight in their fist
Aimed 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 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

Low-down dirty...
What they do!
They smilin' in your face
Smiling faces smiling faces sometimes
Where masks smilin' in your face
Mean, old lowdown dirty bastards, the black stabbers
Down, down, down...
Might be your neighbor, your next door neighbor, yeah
