It ain't hip to take no lip

From a girl you've known for years

And it makes me proud when you shout out loud

That you're attuned to my ideas

I like a girl to think for herself

Just as long as she thinks like me

Cos like a wine that matures with age

It improves her pedigree, yeah

Stand back in amazement

Stand back in amazement

Stand back in amazement

Stand back in amazement

Though I despise the shade of your eyes

And the way you comb your hair

Basically it occurs to me

That you ain't beyond repair

You hang around all the bars in town

Waiting for your social climb

Gets through your head, you're only good for bed

So you'd better toe my line

Stand back in amazement, stay out of sight

And you won't get hurt

Get back down in your basement

While I maintain my, my, my, my, my red alert

Stand back in amazement

Stand back in amazement

Stand back in amazement

Stand back in amazement

Stand, you've gotta stand back

I want you to stand, you've gotta stand back

I want you to stand, stand, stand, stand, stand

I want you to stand back, stand, stand on back

I want you to stand, stand, stay out of sight

I want you to stand back, whoa, yeah

I want you to stand back in amazement

I want you to stand back, right out of sight

I want you to stand back in amazement

I want you to stand back, no way you could tonight

You'd better fake it back in my van, babe

I ain't a fish pail you get

I want you to stand up and take a good look at me

Cos I know what your loving is

You'd better stand back in amaze...
