backfired your plan your plan backfired
backfired my man your plan backfired in your face
you came into my life to test me
your diplomatic drag depressed me
the glitter in your eyes undressed me
you were polished slick really thick
wasting time dropping lines like i could get you into movies
but we would up at hojo’s for hamburgers to go
backfired your plan backfired
backfired my man your plan backfired in your face
to steal my mind was your objective
the way you spoke was too aggresive
the silly jokes were not impressive
like a traveling salesman met farmer with three daughters yet
all the quips were so suggestive
then we ran down to hojo’s for hamburgers to go
backfired your plan backfired
backfired my man your plan backfired in your face
well come here my little dear i’ve got what it takes
give me just what i want and i’ll give you a break
well don’t slip on your lips cuz you’re talking so fast
buying for first crying for last
well come on my little lady don’t shoot me down
i’ve got strong connections all over town
just drop to a dead stop
what
backfired your plan backfired
backfired my man your plan backfired in your face

wasting time dropping lines

a traveling salesman met a farmer with three daughters yet

your plan backfired
couldn’t work out no
backfired
my man your plan backfired in your face

you may still collect
backfired
it backfired
your plan backfired
too bad
backfired
my man your plan backfired
well come here my little dear i’ve got what it takes
give me just what i want and i’ll give you a break
well don’t slip on your lips cuz you’re talking so fast
buying for first crying for last
well come on my little lady don’t shoot me down
i’ve got strong connections all over town
just drop to a dead stop
