Lyrics

What they do?
They're smilin' in your face
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers (back stabbers)

They're smilin' in your face
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers (back stabbers)

All you fellas who have someone and you really care, yeah, yeah
Then it's all of you fellas who better beware, yeah, yeah

Somebody's out to get your lady
A few of your buddies, they sure look shady
The blades are long, clenched tight in their fists
Aimin' straight at your back
And I don't think they'll miss

What they do?
They're smilin' in your face
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers (back stabbers)

I keep gettin' all these visits from my friends, yeah
What they doin' to me?
They come to my house again and again and again and again, yeah
So are they there to see my woman?
I don't even be home but they just keep on comin'

What can I do to get it on the right track?
I wish they'd take some of these knives out my back
What they do?

They're smilin' in your face
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers (back stabbers)

Ha, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, low down, dirty
What they do?

They're smilin' in your face
Smilin' faces, smilin' faces sometimes (back stabbers) tell lies
(They're smilin' in your face) I don't need low down
(Back stabbers) dirty bastards
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down

(They're smilin' in your face) might be your neighbor
Your next door neighbor, yeah
They're smilin' in your face
