Backstage Girl

Lyrics

She told me I was taking her to places she'd never been before
 But really, she was taking me places I promised myself I'd never go to
 Damn, let me start at the beginning
 ♪
 Alright now, I want all of you brothers to get ready
 For some sho' 'nuff sweet honey for your mouth
 Yeah yeah yeah one two
 Some say she was from Cali, some say the Carolinas
 Mom was a belly dancer, Pop was a never minder
 No drugs or alcohol and no weed or marijuana
 You'd think that backstage was the last place you'd find her
 First time I saw her kinda
 Reminded me of them chicks you see at CaroWina
 Friendly and talkative and looking so marvellous
 That nigga Tay feeling like Li'l Ze in the City Of Goddess
 But, I'm digressing, please pardon if I start trailing off
 Or fading out of my consciousness
 It's just that when I think of ole' girl my whole world collapses
 I was so enraptured in all of her flawlessness
 She approached me with a smirk to say
 That said, we can do work
 No matter what time or day of the week it is
 So thorough that backstage girl
 She'll fall to her knees just to pray on your weaknesses
 I mean, I told her straight up, you know
 I got a significant other, she ain't care
 She said for tonight I just wanna be your insignificant other
 What? Goddamn!
 ♪
 We left the club at around two
 Just enough time to meet my niggas for round two
 At another spot, DJ playing the sounds too
 Hopefully divert me from being a scoundrel
 In the spot making my rounds through
 The crowd trying to throw her off
 But she's on me like a bloodhound Jew
 Wouldn't believe how hard I tried to fight it
 Passions and desires were closing in
 And that's what it amounts to
 I looked her in the eyes
 And say, "I don't even know your name
 It feels wrong even though I don't show it."
 She said, "I wish I could tell you the same
 But I won't tell you my name
 'Cause I want you to fuck me like you don't know it."
 I responded with a smirk
 To let her know we can work
 No matter what time or day of the week it is
 So thorough, that backstage girl
 Fell down to her knees just to pray on my weaknesses
 Man, can you fight her? Go head
 ♪
 You'd think that backstage was the last place you'd find her
 You'd think the backstage was the last place you'd find her
 Been riding all around the world, seen so many faces
 But I'm always looking for love in all the wrong places
 Been riding all around the world, seen so many faces
 But I'm always looking for love in all the wrong places
 ♪
 I woke up the next morning all tangled up in her hair
 And that's when I realized she had me all where she wanted me
 She told me I'd taken her to places she'd never been before
 But really, she took me to a place I promised myself I'd never return to
 And I was fucked up
 And the thing was I didn't feel bad about what I've done
 I just felt stupid for trying to fight it for so long
 I mean, really, who was I fooling?
 I knew what time it was soon as I saw her
 Soon as she smiled at a nigga I could tell what her favorite position was
 And I damn sure gave it to her
 I thought I had changed, but niggas never changes
 But it took that one night
 That one passionate night for me to realize what I needed to do
 I gotta stop fucking with these hoes off of Myspace dawg
 ♪
 Some say she was from Cali, some say the Carolinas

 You'd think that backstage was the last place you'd find her
 Been riding all around the world, seen so many faces
 But I'm always looking for love in all the wrong places
 Been riding all around the world, seen so many faces
 But I'm always looking for love in all the wrong places
 Been riding all around the world, seen so many faces
 But I'm always looking for love in all the wrong places
 Been riding all around the world, seen so many faces
 But I'm always looking for love in all the wrong places
