Oh this face, it don't look
It don't look brand new to you
This face, it don't smile
Don't smile like it used to do
These eyes, marked by these lines
And lines tell a tale or two
And if you wanna know, get behind
I'mma tell my story to you
So get behind me
Get behind me
Stand right by me
See what I see
It's easy to judge a book
Without reading a Goddamn word
It's easy to make your mind
Believing everything you've heard
It's easy to think that you know
Cos you saw my softest skin
But you don't know, you don't know nothing
It don't come from the outside in
So get behind me
Get behind me
Stand right by me
See what I see
I don't wanna talk face to face and don't kiss me eye to eye
The only skin I wanna feel is your thigh touchin on my thigh
But that's a whole other story
I read it when the lights go out
Cos I'm sweet as pie in the sun, oh baby
I got needs to meet in the dark
So get behind me
Get behind me
Stand right by me
See what I see
