Back Down Lyrics by Sugababes

The Essential Sugababes

2007

[Verse 1: Amelle]
I like my man rough
I like my man tough
But he's gotta be smooth
When he's giving my love (Mhm)
I like my man clean
Like the cut of his jeans
It's like the Lord made
A tailored man for me (A tailored man for me)
He's gotta smell good
Treat me like a man should
Keeps his hair trimmed low
He's a friend of my soul
He keeps me secure
Makes me feel safe
And if you ever dare touch me (And if you ever dare touch me)
He'd have to put you in your place (He'd have to put you in your place)

[Chorus: Amelle (with Keisha & Heidi)]
My baby don't back down
(back down)
My baby don't back down
(back down)
Because he's all right
Because he's all right
My baby don't back down
My baby don't back down
Because he's all right
Because he's all right

[Verse 2: Keisha]
I like my man sexy
I like my man made
He knows what I want
He's the Ying to my Yang
I like my man patient
And his body real tight (Real tight)
And never keeps me waiting
That's just what I like (That's just what I like)
See these boys are no good
'Cause I need a real man
Someone who can keep me
In the palm of his hand
He's gotta treat me right
Never do me wrong
Better know how to please me
And turn me on

[Chorus: Keisha (with Amelle & Heidi)]
I know he'll never back down
(back down)
My baby never back down
(back down)
Because he's all right
Because he's all right
No, my baby don't back down
My baby don't back down
Because he's all right
Because he's all right

[Middle 8: Heidi]
I like my man cool
Much cooler than ice
And if I didn't meet him
I wouldn't have to blink twice (to blink twice)
He gives me kisses by the hour
And when he brings me flowers
It never felt so sweet
When he's around me
(He's gotta lot, he's gotta lot, he's gotta lot of love)
He makes me smile
Knows how to make me laugh (Knows how to make me laugh)
He never moves too slow
But doesn't move too fast
He's the love of my life
He's all that I need
And when he's with his friends
He's proud about me

[Chorus: Heidi (with Amelle & Keisha)]
'Cause my baby never back down
(back down)
No, my baby don't back down
(back down)
Because he's all right
Because he's all right
No, my baby don't back down
My baby don't back down
Because he's all right
Because he's all right
(Oh, yeah)

[Outro: Heidi (with Amelle & Keisha)]
Break it down
Break it down
Break it down now
Break it down
Break it down
Break it down now
Break it down
Break it down
Break it down now
Break it down
Break it down
Break it down now
Break it down
Break it down
Break it down now
Break it down
Break it down
Break it down now
Break it down
Break it down
Break it down now
Break it down
Break it down
Break it down now
