From the recording Bada Boom!
Backfire is a cautionary tale of the perils of repeating insanity. Doing that same thing over and over…hoping for a different result. That Lipstick on a pig thing, you know?
Lyrics
Backfire
She’s a teaser, livin’ easy. I learned my lesson on the first try.
Take notice, guns are loaded
She’s the kind to love em’ leave em’ on a high wire.
If you want it. Got to give it.
Full attention, she’s like candy.
Reputation, I’m speculating.
You’ve been told but your gonna taste it anyway.
Nothing left to say, you know it’s gonna backfire.
Get out all the way, before its gonna backfire.
The attraction, for piece-a action. It ain’t worth it past the first time.
She’s a user, so when you lose her.
Don’t be saying that I never, ever dropped a dime.
If you stay for more, you know its gonna backfire.
Only fools are sure, and I’m sure its gonna backfire.
If you use it, she’ll abuse it. She’s a lover who can two-time.
Now you got stuck, and ya love struck.
Get yourself away believe me she’s the perfect crime
No there aint a cure, you know its gonna backfire.
Only fools are sure, and I’m sure its gonna backfire.
Her bark is all bite.
Take my advice.
Don’t even think twice.
It’s all gonna backfire.
