Backstage Girl - DJ Shadow

She told me I've taken her to places she has never been before

But really she was taking me places I promised myself I'd never go to damn...

Pff damn, let me start from the beginning...



Alright man I want all of you brothers to get rid of frustration

And show sweet honey for your mouth

Yeah yeah yeah one two



Some say she was from Cali

Some say the Carolinas

Mom was a belly dancer

Pap' was a neverminder

No drugs or alcohol

No weed or marijuana

You think the backstage was the last place you'd find her

First time I saw her kinda

Reminded me a of a chick you see in ...carawana?

Friendly and talkative, yeah look as so marvellous hair 

Dead nicotine filling life ..... in the city

You gotta see this but

I am back resting peace parting it 

I start thrilling .... out of my consciousness

It's just that when I think... oh girl my whole world collapses all 

So enwrenched in all overflow this

She approaches me with a smurf to say

We can do work no matter what time or day of the week it is

So ... that backstage girl she fell to her knees just to pray on my weaknesses



Homey I told her straight up, you know

I got a significant other... she ain't care

She said tonight I wanna be your insignificant lover .... what? 

God damn...



Oh we left the club at around two

Just enough time to meet my niggers for round two

At another spot, DJ playing the sounds too 

Hopefully divert me from being a scout drew

In the spot making my rounds do

The crowd trying to throw her off

but she's on me like a bloodhound Jew

Wouldn’t believe how hard I tried to fight it

Passions and desires were closing in

And that’s what it amounts to

I looked her in the eyes

And say I don’t even know your name

It feels wrong even though I don’t show it...

She said I wish I could tell you the same

But I won't tell you my name cause I want you to

Fuck me like you don’t know it
I responded with a smurf to let her know

We can do work no matter what time or day of the week it is

So ... that backstage girl fall down to her knees to pray on my weaknesses

But man can you fight her? Go ahead


You'd think the backstage

Would be the last place you'd find her 

You'd think the backstage

Would be the last place you'd find her

Been all around the world, seen so many faces

Was looking for love in all the wrong places

Been all around the world, seen so many faces

Backstage girl

Was looking for love in all the wrong places



I woke up the next morning all tangled up in her hair 

That's when I realized she had me all where she wanted me

She told me I'd taken her to places she'd never been before

But really she took me to a place I promised myself I'd never return to

And I was fucked up 

And the thing was I didn't feel bad about what I've done

I just felt stupid for trying to fight it for so long

I mean really who I was fooling

I knew what time it was soon as I saw her

Soon as she smiled at me and guy can tell what the foetal position was

And I dare she'd gave it too

I thought I had changed

But niggas never changes

But it took that one night

That one passionate night for me to realize what I needed to do

I gotta stop fucking with these whores off of my space though



Some say she was from Cali, some say the Carolinas

Mom was a belly dancer, pap' was a neverminder

No drugs or alcohol no weed no marijuana 

You think the backstage was the last place you'd find her



You'd think the backstage

Would be the last place you'd find her

Been all around the world

Seen so many faces

Was always looking for love in all the wrong places 

Been all around the world

Seen so many faces

Was always looking for love in all the wrong places

Been all around the world

Seen so many faces

Well well well

Was always looking for love in all the wrong places 

Oh yeah

Been all around the world

Seen so many faces

Backstage girl

Was always looking for love in all the wrong places
