[Intro]

Oh, baby

Pretty baby

Oh, honey

You let me down, honey


[Verse 1]

I ain't playin' 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, uh-uh-uh-oh

And taste the flame, oh, yeah-yeah


[Chorus]

Back off, back off bitch

Down in the gutter, dyin' 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]

Oh-uh-uh-uh-oh

Woah-uh-uh-oh

Oh, woah-woah-woah-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh


[Verse 3]

Makin' love, cheap heartbreaker

Broken back, nasty ballbreaker

Stay out of my bed, outta my head

'Cause if it's lovin' you

I'm better off dead


[Chorus]

Back off, back off bitch

Down in the gutter, dyin' 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]

Oh-uh-uh-uh-oh

Woah-uh-uh-oh-whoa

Oh, woah-woah-woah-oh-whoa

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh

Bitch!


[Guitar Solo]


[Bridge]

Ooh, yeah-yeah

I'm talkin' to you


[Verse 4]

Emotions ripped, gone on a binge

Life lipped, I said, you're off the hinge

Tellin' lies of fame an' glory

I don't even wanna hear your story


[Chorus]

Back off, back off bitch

Down in the gutter, dyin' 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

It's time to burn, burn the witch


[Outro]

Back off, back off bitch

Back off, back off bitch

I'm talkin' to you

Back off, back off bitch

So, what are you gonna do?

Back off, back off bitch

Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Fucking bitch
