It was the city outdoors I wanted to gallop The streets were lit And we were not yet drunk The sledge hammer blows I delivered in moments Of truth and candour They made you wonder If this boy isn't real Then what do I feel This must be real But I can't stand it 'Cause he's making me weaker Than I was before That is exactly what happens When you let me in through your backdoor Ooooooh Your backdoor Ooooooh I met you in springtime The state you were in Exploring and waiting For real life to begin You couldn't accept that I live by my own rules Our roads went apart And then your phone call You asked me what is it You wanted me to be I told you there was nothing That I wanted you to be I'm not talking morals But likes and dislikes That is exactly what happens When you let me in Through you backdoor Ooooooh Your backdoor Ooooooh Your backdoor Ooooooh Your backdoor Ooooooh
