[Intro]

This one's for you

Oh, baby

Pretty baby (oh, no, oh-oh)

Oh, honey (oh)

You let me down, honey (oh, baby)


[Verse 1]

I ain't playing childhood games no more

I said, it's time for me to even the score

So, stake your claim, your claim to fame

But, baby, call another name

When you feel the fire, oh-oh-oh-oh

And taste the flame, oh, yeah


[Chorus]

Back off, back off, bitch

Down in the gutter, dying in the ditch

You better back off, back off, bitch

Face of an angel with the love of a witch

Back off, back off, bitch

Back off, back off, bitch


[Post-Chorus]

(Na-na-na, na-na) Oh-uh-uh-uh-oh

(Na-na-na, na-na) Woah-uh-uh-oh

(Na-na-na, na-na) Oh, woah-woah-woah-oh

(Na-na-na, na-na) Oh-oh-oh-oh

(Na-na-na, na-na) Oh-oh-oh


[Verse 2]

Making love, cheap heartbreaker

Broken-backed, nasty ball-breaker (ow)

Stay outta my bed, outta my head

'Cause if it's loving you, I'm better off dead


[Chorus]

Now back off, back off, bitch (ooh)

Down in the gutter, dying in the ditch

You better back off, back off, bitch (ow)

Face of an angel with the love of a witch

Back off, back off, bitch (talk to you)

Back off, back off, bitch


[Post-Chorus]

(Na-na-na, na-na) Oh-uh-uh-uh-oh

(Na-na-na, na-na) Woah-uh-uh-oh

(Na-na-na, na-na) Woah-oh, oh-oh-oh, woah-oh

(Na-na-na, na-na) Na-na-na, na-na

(Na-na-na, na-na) Oh-oh-oh


[Guitar Solo]


[Pre-Verse]

Oh, yeah

(Cha!) Oh, yeah, yeah-yeah


[Verse 3]

Emotions ripped, gone on a binge

Light lipped, I said you're off the hinge

Telling lies of such fame and glory

I don't even wanna hear your story


[Chorus]

Back off, back off, bitch

Down in the gutter, dying in the ditch

You better back off, back off, bitch

Face of an angel with the love of a witch

Back off, back off, bitch

It's such a pity that you're such a bitch

Back off, back off, bitch

I'm gonna burn, burn the witch

Back off, back off, bitch


[Outro]

(Na-na-na, na-na) Back off, back off, bitch

(Na-na-na, na-na)

(Na-na-na, na-na) Back off, back off, bitch

(Na-na-na, na-na)

(Na-na-na, na-na) Back off, back off, bitch

Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch

Fucking bitch
