Hall & Oates Better Watch Your Back

Tekst piosenki

Oh, living the life of a madman’s wife
Has got to be unreal
Cause she’s got to hold on to ground control
While Jack does what he feels
Well he stays away
And then he comes home
And he never knows where he’s been
Jack blasts downtown and he’s over the line
And then he’s a kid again

Jack said
„It’s so hard living in a dream
And it’s so hard
Always giving in to me”

His wife saw Jack in a crowd of boys
And he was talking against The Man
She saw the guys getting dangerous in size
And she knew it was never or then
So she ran on back and said to Jack
„Whoa Jack, Jack, I wouldn’t do that
If you’re gonna continue to give your opinion,”
Said, „You’d better watch your back, oh Jack”
Said, „You’d better watch your back”
Said „You’d better watch your back, oh Jack”
Said „You’d better watch your back”
Oh, Jack

Had a knock down dream, thought he saw the man
And thought he’d save the day
Jack gave a roar
Made for the door
To go to church and pray
„Say Jackie, religion and you
Ain’t mixed well in the past
Remember when you smashed
Your fist on the Eucharist, honey
And threw up in high mass?”

„You know it’s so hard living in a dream
And it’s so hard
Always giving in to me”

His wife saw Jack in a crowd of boys
And he was talking against The Man
She saw the guys getting dangerous in size
And she knew it was never, never or then
So she ran on back and said to Jack
„Whoa Jack, Jack, I wouldn’t do that
If you’re gonna continue to give your opinion,”
Said, „You’d better watch your back, oh Jack”
Said, „You’d better watch your back”
Said „You’d better watch your back, oh Jack”
Said „You’d better watch your back”
Oh, Jack

Ooh, his wife saw Jack in a crowd of boys
And he was talking against The Man
She saw the guys getting dangerous in size
And she knew it was never, never or then
So she ran on back and said to Jack
„Whoa Jack, Jack, I wouldn’t do that
If you’re gonna continue to give your opinion,”
Said, „You’d better watch your back, oh Jack”
Said, „You’d better watch your back”
Said „You’d better watch your back, oh Jack”
Said „You’d better watch your back”
Oh, Jack
Oh, Jack, Oh, Jack, Oh, Jack…
