Backstage Girl Songtext
von DJ Shadow feat. Phonte Coleman

She told me I was taking her to places she′d never been before
But really, she was taking me places I promised myself I'd never go to
Damn, let me start at the beginning

Alright now, I want all of you brothers to get ready
For some sho′ 'nuff 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, Pop was a never minder
No drugs or alcohol and no weed or marijuana
You'd think that backstage was the last place you′d find her
First time I saw her kinda
Reminded me of them chicks you see at CaroWina
Friendly and talkative and looking so marvellous
That nigga Tay feeling like Li′l Ze in the City Of Goddess
But, I'm digressing, please pardon if I start trailing off
Or fading out of my consciousness
It′s just that when I think of ole' girl my whole world collapses
I was so enraptured in all of her flawlessness


She approached me with a smirk to say
That said, we can do work
No matter what time or day of the week it is
So thorough that backstage girl
She′ll fall to her knees just to pray on your weaknesses

I mean, I told her straight up, you know
I got a significant other, she ain't care
She said for tonight I just wanna be your insignificant other
What? Goddamn!


We left the club at around two
Just enough time to meet my niggas for round two
At another spot, DJ playing the sounds too
Hopefully divert me from being a scoundrel
In the spot making my rounds through
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 smirk
To let her know we can work
No matter what time or day of the week it is
So thorough, that backstage girl
Fell down to her knees just to pray on my weaknesses
Man, can you fight her? Go head

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

Been riding all around the world, seen so many faces
But I'm always looking for love in all the wrong places
Been riding all around the world, seen so many faces
But I′m always looking for love in all the wrong places

I woke up the next morning all tangled up in her hair
And 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 was I fooling?
I knew what time it was soon as I saw her

Soon as she smiled at a nigga I could tell what her favorite position was
And I damn sure gave it to her
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 hoes off of Myspace dawg

Some say she was from Cali, some say the Carolinas
Mom was a belly dancer, Pop was a never minder
No drugs or alcohol and no weed or marijuana
You′d think that backstage was the last place you'd find her
You'd think that backstage was the last place you′d find her

Been riding all around the world, seen so many faces
But I′m always looking for love in all the wrong places
Been riding all around the world, seen so many faces
But I'm always looking for love in all the wrong places
Been riding all around the world, seen so many faces
But I′m always looking for love in all the wrong places
Been riding all around the world, seen so many faces
But I'm always looking for love in all the wrong places
