Philip Bailey - Back It Up lyrics
[Philip Bailey - Back It Up lyrics]
Back it up, gotta back it up
You know I said you just talk, talk, talk
But can you back it up
Seen through the eyes of a stranger
Running your mouth is a danger
To yourself and everybody else
(everybody else, don't)
Don't say that I never told you
I can't take your word that just won't do
It's hit or miss, I'll tell you this
Now put your money where your mouth is
You gotta back it up, back it up
Gotta back it up, you know I've had enough
I said you just talk, talk, talk
But can you back it up
Now, now, after all is said and done
I'll lay the odds, make it two to one
Your number is past, you won't make it last
(You won't last long)
Now you keep hittin' ten the hard way
Double or nothing you can't stay
Talk is cheap, and oohwee
Are you gettin' in too deep
You gotta back it up, back it up
Gotta back it up, you know I've had enough
I said you just talk, talk, talk
But can you back it up
You gotta back it up, back it up
Gotta back it up, you know I've had enough
Enough, I said you just talk, talk, talk
But can you back it up
You know that talk is cheap
You're chokin' on words you can't keep
Now are you feeling weak?
You gotta back it up, back it up
Gotta back it up, you know I've had enough
Enough I'm saying talk, talk, talk
But can you back it up
You gotta back it up, back it up
Gotta back it up, you know I've had enough
Enough I'm saying talk, talk, talk
But can you back it up
You gotta back it up, back it up
Gotta back it up, you know I've had enough
Enough, I said you just talk, talk, talk
But can you back it up
You gotta back it up, back it up
Gotta back it up, you know I've had enough
You know I said you just talk, talk, talk
But can you back it up
Seen through the eyes of a stranger
Running your mouth is a danger
To yourself and everybody else
(everybody else, don't)
Don't say that I never told you
I can't take your word that just won't do
It's hit or miss, I'll tell you this
Now put your money where your mouth is
You gotta back it up, back it up
Gotta back it up, you know I've had enough
I said you just talk, talk, talk
But can you back it up
Now, now, after all is said and done
I'll lay the odds, make it two to one
Your number is past, you won't make it last
(You won't last long)
Now you keep hittin' ten the hard way
Double or nothing you can't stay
Talk is cheap, and oohwee
Are you gettin' in too deep
You gotta back it up, back it up
Gotta back it up, you know I've had enough
I said you just talk, talk, talk
But can you back it up
You gotta back it up, back it up
Gotta back it up, you know I've had enough
Enough, I said you just talk, talk, talk
But can you back it up
You know that talk is cheap
You're chokin' on words you can't keep
Now are you feeling weak?
You gotta back it up, back it up
Gotta back it up, you know I've had enough
Enough I'm saying talk, talk, talk
But can you back it up
You gotta back it up, back it up
Gotta back it up, you know I've had enough
Enough I'm saying talk, talk, talk
But can you back it up
You gotta back it up, back it up
Gotta back it up, you know I've had enough
Enough, I said you just talk, talk, talk
But can you back it up
You gotta back it up, back it up
Gotta back it up, you know I've had enough
