DJ Shadow - Backstage Girl lyrics

[Phonte speaking:] She told me I've taken her to places she has never been before, but really She was taking me places I promised myself I'd never go to Pff, damn, let me start from the beginning Alright now I want all of you brothers to get ready for some sho' 'nuff sweet honey For your mouth Some say she was from Cali Some say the Carolinas Mom was a belly dancer Pop was a never minder No d** or alcohol and No weed or marijuana You think the backstage was the last place you'd find her First time I saw her, kinda Reminded me a of them chicks you see at CaroWina Friendly and talkative and Lookin' so marvelous had That n***a Tay Feelin' like Li'l Ze in the City Of Goddess But, I'm digressing' Please pardon if, I start trailin' off Or fadin' out of my consciousness It's just that when I think of ole' girl my whole world collapses I, was so enraptured in all of her flawlessness She approaches me with a smirk That said, we can do work No matter what time or day of the week it is So thorough that backstage girl She'll fall to her knees just to pray on your weaknesses [Phonte talking:] I mean I told her straight up, you know I got a significant other. She ain't care She said, "For tonight I just wanna be your insignificant other." Huh, what? God damn! Oh we left the club at around two Just enough time to meet my n***as for round two At another spot, DJ playing the sounds too Hopefully divert me from being a scoundrel In the spot making my rounds through The crowd trying to throw her off But she's on me like a bloodhound Jew Wouldn't believe how hard I tried to fight it Pa**ions and desires were closin' in And that's what it amounts to I looked her in the eyes And say, "I don't even know your name It feels wrong even though I don't show it." She said, "I wish I could tell you the same But I won't tell you my name Cause I want you to f** me like you don't know it." I responded with a smirk To let her know we can work No matter what time or day of the week it is So thorough, that backstage girl Fell down to her knees just to pray on my weaknesses Maaaan can you fight her? Go head You'd think the backstage would be the last place you'd find her You'd think the backstage would be the last place you'd find her Been ridin' all around the world Seen so many faces But I'm always lookin' for love in all the wrong places Been ridin' all around the world, seen so many faces Backstage girl But I'm always lookin' for love in all the wrong places [Phonte talking:] I woke up the next morning all tangled up in her hair That's when I realized she had me all where she wanted me She told me I'd taken her to places she'd never been before But really she took me to a place I promised myself I'd never return to And I was f**ed up And the thing was I didn't feel bad about what I've done I just felt stupid for trying to fight it for so long I mean really who I was fooling? I knew what time it was soon as I saw her Soon as she smiled at a n***a I could tell what the favorite position was And I damn sure gave it to her I thought I had changed But n***as never changes But it took that one night That one pa**ionate night for me to realize what I needed to do I gotta stop f**ing with these hoes off of Myspace dawg Some say she was from Cali Some say the Carolinas Mom was a belly dancer Pap' was a never minder No d** or alcohol No weed or marijuana You'd think the backstage was the last place you'd find her
