All you fellows who have someone 
And you really care, yeah, yeah
Then it's all of you fellows

A few of your buddies they sure look shady
Blades are long, clenched tight in their fist
Aimin' straight at your back
And I don't think they'll miss

From my friends, yeah, what they doin to me
They come to my house 
Again and again and again and again, yeah
So are they there to see my woman
I don't even be home but they just keep on comin'
What can I do to get on the right track
I wish they'd take some of these knives off my back

Smiling faces sometimes tell lies (Back stabbers)
(They smile in your face)
I don't need low down 
Dirty bastards (Back stabbers)
