I don't want you to be high
I don't want you to be down
Don't want to tell you no lies
Just want you to be a-roundPlease come right up to my ears
You will be able to hear what I say
Don't want you out in my world
Just you be my backstreet girlPlease don't be part of my life
Please keep your-self to yourself
Please don't you bother my wife
That way you won't get no helpDon't try to ride on my horse
You're rather common and coarse anyway
Don't want you out in my world
Just you be my backstreet girlPlease don't call me at home
Please don't come come knocking at night
Please never ring on the phone
Your manners are never quite rightPlease take the favors I grant
Curtsy and look nonchalant just for me
Don't want you part of my world
Just you be my backstreet girl
