Texty: DJ Shadow. The Outsider. Backstage Girl.

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 damn...
Pff damn, let me start from the beginning...

Alright man I want all of you brothers to get rid of frustration
And show sweet honey for your mouth
Yeah yeah yeah one two

Some say she was from Cali
Some say the Carolinas
Mom was a belly dancer
Pap' was a neverminder
No drugs or alcohol
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 a chick you see in ...carawana?
Friendly and talkative, yeah look as so marvellous hair
Dead nicotine filling life ..... in the city
You gotta see this but
I am back resting peace parting it
I start thrilling .... out of my consciousness
It's just that when I think... oh girl my whole world collapses all
So enwrenched in all overflow this
She approaches me with a smurf to say
We can do work no matter what time or day of the week it is
So ... that backstage girl she fell to her knees just to pray on my weaknesses

Homey I told her straight up, you know
I got a significant other... she ain't care
She said tonight I wanna be your insignificant lover .... what?
God damn...

Oh we left the club at around two
Just enough time to meet my niggers for round two
At another spot, DJ playing the sounds too
Hopefully divert me from being a scout drew
In the spot making my rounds do
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
Passions and desires were closing 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
Fuck me like you don?t know it
I responded with a smurf to let he know
We can do work no matter what time or day of the week it is
So ... that backstage girl fall down to her knees to pray on my weaknesses
But man can you fight her? Go ahead

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 all around the world, seen so many faces
Was looking for love in all the wrong places
Been all around the world, seen so many faces
Backstage girl
Was looking for love in all the wrong places

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 fucked 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 me and guy can tell what the foetal position was
And I dare she'd gave it too
I thought I had changed
But niggas never changes
But it took that one night
That one passionate night for me to realize what I needed to do
I gotta stop fucking with these whores off of my space though

Some say she was from Cali, some say the Carolinas
Mom was a belly dancer, pap' was a neverminder
No drugs or alcohol no weed no marijuana
You think the backstage was the last place you'd find her

You'd think the backstage
Would be the last place you'd find her
Been all around the world
Seen so many faces
Was always looking for love in all the wrong places
Been all around the world
Seen so many faces
Was always looking for love in all the wrong places
Been all around the world
Seen so many faces
Well well well
Was always looking for love in all the wrong places
Oh yeah
Been all around the world
Seen so many faces
Backstage girl
Was always looking for love in all the wrong places
