Better Back Off

(M. Crenshaw, T. Teeley)



Now you can`t always get what you want

No, you can`t always get what you need

Sometimes you lose what you thought you had

Now that`s a real bad deal indeed

But when you`re angry at life itself

Having a bad, bad day

Don`t judge yourself so brutally

I can`t stand it when you talk that way

Oh baby, baby

Better back off of that stuff

You`d better take it slow

I know you know

That you`re talking about someone I love

Did you say what I think I heard?

Did you mean what I think you said?

Why don`t you redirect your rage

Onto someone else instead

Now, we all have to walk that line

Between sorrow and happiness

Come over here and take my hand

Won`t you please give us both a rest?

Oh baby, baby

Better back off that stuff

You`d better take it slow

I know you know

That you`re talking about someone I love

Oh baby, baby

I`ve heard enough

`Cause I know you will come through

And you know it too

You`re talking about someone I love
