I don't want you to be high

I don't want you to be down

Don't want to tell you no lie

just want you to be around





please come right up to my ears

you will be able to hear what I say





don't want you out in my world

just you be my backstreet girl





please don't be part of my life

please keep yourself to yourself

please don't you bother my wife

that way you won't get no help





don't try to ride on my horse

you're rather common and coarse anyway





don't want you out in my world

just you be my backstreet girl





please don't you call me at home

please don't come knocking at night

please never ring on the phone

your manners are never quite right





please take the favors I grant

curtsy and look nonchalant, just for me





don't want you part of my world

just you be my backstreet girl
