Backstage Girl Lyrics

She told me I was taken her places she'd never been before, but really...
She was taking me places I promised myself I'd never go to.
Pst, damn, let me start at the beginning...

Alright now I want all of you brothers to get ready for some sure enough 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 neverminder
No drugs or alcohol an'
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 Carabana
Friendly and talkative and, lookin' so marvellous
That nigger take fillin' life ..... in the city of Goddesses but,
I'm digressing, please pardon it
I start trailin' off and fading out of my consciousness
It's just that when I think, oh girl my whole world collapses, I
Was so enraptured in all of her flows'ness
She approached me with a smirk, 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 the 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 lover
Huh, what?
God damn...

Uh
We left the club at around two
Just enough time to meet my niggers for round two
At another spot, DJ playing the sounds to
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 you
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 "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
Maaan, can't e'en fight it
Go 'head

You'd think that backstage was the last place you'd find her
- You know, baby
You'd think that backstage was the last place you'd find her
Been ridin' all around the world, seen so many faces
- Wa waaa, waaaa
But I'm always looking for love in all the wrong places
- You'd think that backstage was the last place you'd find her
- ooh-ooh-ooooohh yeeeeah
Been ridin' all around the world, seen so many faces
- Backstage girl
But I'm always looking for love in all the wrong places

I woke up the next morning all tangled up in her hair
An' that's when I realized she had me right where she wanted me
She told me I'd taken her 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 had done
I just felt stupid for trying to fight it for so long
I mean really, who I was fooling?
I knew what time it was, soon as I saw her
Soon as she smiled at a nigger I could tell what her favorite position was
And I damn sure gave it to her
I thought I had changed
Niggers 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 ho's off of MySpace dawg

Some say she was from Cali'
Some say the Carolinas
Mom was a belly dancer
Pop was a neverminder
No drugs or alcohol an'
No weed or marijuana
You'd think that backstage was the last place you'd find her

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

Cover art for Backstage Girl lyrics by DJ Shadow

As amusing as "I responded with a Smurf" was, and "I could tell what the foetal position was", these lyrics were just too messed up to leave untouched.

Good song :)
