"Better Watch Your Back" lyrics

"Better Watch Your Back"

Oh, living the life of a madman's wife
Has got to be unreal
'Cause she's got to hold on to ground control
While Jack does what he feels
Well, he stays away and then he comes home
And he never knows where he's been
Jack blasts down time, then he's over the line
And then he's a kid again

Jack says, "It's so hard, livin' in a dream
It's so hard, always giving in to me"
His wife saw Jack in a crowd of boys
He was talking against the men
Then she saw the guys getting dangerous eyes
And she knew it was never or then

So she ran on back and said to Jack
"Whoa Jack, Jack, I wouldn't do that
If you're gonna continue to give your opinion,"
Said, "You better watch your back, oh Jack"
Said, "You better watch your back"
Said, "You better watch your back, oh Jack"
Said, "You better watch your back"
Oh Jack

Had a knock down dream, thought he saw the Man
And thought he'd save the day
Jack gave a roar, made for the door
To go to church and pray
Said, "Jackie, religion and you
Ain't mixed well in the past
Remember when you smashed your first
On the Eucharist, honey
And threw up in high mass?"

"You know it's so hard, livin' in a dream
It's so hard, always giving in to me"
His wife saw Jack in a crowd of boys
He was talking against the men
Then she saw the guys getting dangerous eyes
And she knew it was never, never or then

So she ran on back and said to Jack
"Whoa Jack, Jack, I wouldn't do that
If you're gonna continue to give your opinion,"
Said, "You better watch your back, oh Jack"
Said, "You better watch your back"
Said, "You better watch your back, oh Jack"
Said, "You better watch your back"
Oh Jack

Ooh, wife saw Jack in a crowd of boys
He was talking against the men
And she saw the guys getting dangerous eyes
And she knew it was never, never or then

Oh, ran on back and said to Jack
"Whoa Jack, Jack, I wouldn't do that
If you're gonna continue to give your opinion,"
Said, "You better watch your back, oh Jack"
Said, "You better watch your back"
"I said, you better watch your back, oh Jack"
Said, "You better watch your back"

Oh Jack, oh Jack
Oh Jack, oh Jack
Oh Jack, oh Jack
Jack, oh Jack, yeah
Jackie, Jackie
Jackie, Jackie
Jackie, oh Jack
