lyrics

Minding my own business and you’re telling me to smile
Asking what’s the hurry, You can make it worth my while
Looking at my finger and you don't see any ring
Would it even matter, you're not listening

Back off! You got to, got to KNOW.
Back off! You got to, got to GO.
I don’t WANT your breath in my face,
get out of my space. Back off!

Slithering up to me, sayin’ you're a scorpio
Can you get my number. Honey, hell no
Back off! You got to, got to know.
Back off! You got to, got to go.
I don’t want your breath in my face,
get out of my space. Back off!

Riding the bus… Going to work…
Waiting in line… I'm trying to read a book..
Driving my car… going to the liquor store...
At the park.... oh baby when I'm on the dance floor…
Back off! You got to, got to know
Back off! You got to, got to go
Back off! You got to, got to know
Back off! You got to, got to go
