Backstreet Girl
Embracing Secrecy: A Backstreet Girl's Tale
Lyrics
I don't want you to be high
I prefer you not to be intoxicated
I don't want you to be down
I don't want you feeling low or depressed
Don't want to tell you no lie
I don't wish to deceive you
Just want you to be around
I simply want you to be present in my life
Please come right up to my ears
Come close so you can hear my words clearly
You will be able to hear what I say
Your proximity allows better communication
Don't want you out in my world
I don't want you involved in my public life
Just you be my backstreet girl
Prefer you to be a discreet presence in the background
Please don't be part of my life
I don't want you to be a significant part of my life
Please keep yourself to yourself
Maintain your privacy and don't interfere
Please don't you bother my wife
Stay away from my spouse to avoid complications
That way you won't get no help
If you stay distant, you won't receive assistance
Don't try to ride on my horse
Don't try to take advantage of my success or position
You're rather common and coarse anyway
You lack refinement and sophistication
Don't want you out in my world
Stay away from my public and social circles
Just you be my backstreet girl
Be a secret companion rather than in the limelight
Please don't you call me at home
Don't contact me at my residence
Please don't come knocking at night
Avoid coming to my doorstep during the night
Please never ring on the phone
Do not call me on the phone
Your manners are never quite right
Your behavior lacks proper etiquette
Please take the favors I grant
Accept the kindness I offer without expecting more
Curtsy and look nonchalant, just for me
Show courtesy and act indifferent, especially for me
Don't want you part of my world
I don't want you to be part of my public life
Just you be my backstreet girl
Remain in the background as my secret companion
Just you be my backstreet girl
Continue being my discreet companion
