|
I told you once, now tell you twice |
|
I'm not gonna be a fool |
|
'Cause when it comes down to my heart |
|
It's not gonna be abused |
|
Now I've been locked down and stepped on |
|
And it's cold down on the floor |
|
And I don't recall seeing your head |
|
When I couldn't take anymore |
|
(Back it up) Don't you tell me that your love is for real |
|
You got to prove how you really feel |
|
(Back it up) Don't you say you wanna be my man |
|
I got to know that you understand |
|
Hey, boy, you better back it up |
|
Now I'm not tryin' to judge you |
|
Your intentions might be fine |
|
But the last time I trusted someone |
|
All I could do was break down and cry |
|
When it comes to heartache and pain |
|
There'll be no deja-vu, back it up |
|
And I don't recall seeing your head |
|
When I couldn't take anymore |
|
(Back it up) Don't need no-one to write a beat on my heart |
|
I've got to know that this love's gonna start |
|
(Back it up) Your hugs and kisses, they don't mean a thing |
|
I've got to know that it's real love you bring |
|
(Back it up) If you want some love give some in return |
|
Don't just smile, you're gonna have to earn |
|
(Back it up) I need someone to show me that they care |
|
I need a man who will always be there |
|
You better back it up |
|
(Back it up) |
|
When it comes to heartache and pain |
|
There'll be no deja-vu |
|
(Back it up) Don't you tell me that your love is for real |
|
You got to prove how you really feel |
|
(Back it up) Don't need no-one to write a beat on my heart |
|
I've got to know that this love's gonna start |
|
(Back it up) Your hugs and kisses, they don't mean a thing |
|
I've got to know that it's real love you bring |
|
(Back it up) Back it up, you |
|
Back it up |
