[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
I don't want you to be high
I don't want you to be down
Don't want to tell you no lie
Just want you to be around

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Please come right up to my ears
You will be able to hear what I say

[Chorus]
Don't want you out in my world
Just you be my back street girl

[Verse 2]
Please don't be part of my life
Please keep yourself to yourself
Please don't you bother my wife
That way you won't get no help

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Don't try to ride on my horse
You're rather common and coarse, anyway
[Chorus]
Don't want you out in my world
Just you be my back street girl

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
Please don't you call me at home
Please don't come knocking at night
Please never ring on the phone
Your manners are never quite right

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Please take the favors I grant
Curtsy and look nonchalant, just for me

[Chorus]
Don't want you part of my world
Just you be my back street girl

[Outro]
Just you be my backstreet girl
