Marshall Crenshaw - Better Back Off - Текст песни

(M. Crenshaw, T. Teeley) 

    

   Now you can't always get what you want 

No, you can't always get what you need 

Sometimes you lose what you thought you had 

Now that's a real bad deal indeed 

But when you're angry at life itself 

Having a bad, bad day 

Don't judge yourself so brutally 

I can't stand it when you talk that way 

Oh baby, baby 

Better back off of that stuff 

You'd better take it slow 

I know you know 

That you're talking about someone I love 

Did you say what I think I heard? 

Did you mean what I think you said? 

Why don't you redirect your rage 

Onto someone else instead 

Now, we all have to walk that line 

Between sorrow and happiness 

Come over here and take my hand 

Won't you please give us both a rest? 

Oh baby, baby 

Better back off that stuff 

You'd better take it slow 

I know you know 

That you're talking about someone I love 

Oh baby, baby 

I've heard enough 

'Cause I know you will come through 

And you know it too 

You're talking about someone I love
