Lyrics

GET OFF MY BACK
(written by Denis J. Quilligan Jr.)
You're always riding me....talking trash and telling lies
then you turn right around and you apologize
girl I can't take it no more....I may not come back
but if I do girl....you're gonna have to "get off my back"
Girl we started out....all lovey dove
hanging out and having fun....that's when I fell in love
but then our life turned around....and we may never make it back
but if we're gonna give it a try girl....you're gonna have to "get off my back"
(solo)
When you're talking to me girl....oh I'm hypnotized
though I feel you're still talking trash and telling lies
girl if we're gonna give it just one more go there's just one thing that I want you to know
if we're gonna get back on track....you're gonna have to "get off my back"
