backbiter

mike love

i had your back since back in the day

but now when you see me coming you just turn away

we used to jam when you were a no name

but now you can't even give me the time of day

i thought you were my friend

but now i see your true colors

i let you in my home

you had the nerve to call me brother

but now i see you're just a backbiter

you're always right there to take a puff

when somebody else is passing the spliff around

but when we're hurting and the times get tough

its funny how we never seem to see your face around

i caught you in a lie

and now you're searching for excuses

just look me in the eye

because i already know the truth is

that you're nothing but a backbiter

so don't you come around

don't come around no more

i guess the money was enough to make you turn your nose up

and all them bright lights flashing must've messed your mind up

but when the money's gone and the spotlight fades

who you gonna cry to

who's gonna believe your charade?

and when ya comin' home

you'll find everything has changed

so don't you come around

don't come around no more

so don't you come around

don't come around no more

backbiter

where you gonna run to

backbiter

who you gonna cry to now?

backbiter

who's gonna believe you
