Backstroke Lyrics by Teedra Moses

Complex Simplicity

2004

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, uh-uh, oh
Oh, uh-uh, oh
Oh, uh-uh, oh
Oh, your backstroke

[Verse 1]
Picture me in one of those two-seater things
Top down so thoughts of you are in the breeze
And the wind (And the wind)
And the wind (Wind's in my hair)
But each time I say I won't be back around
You get me back around
And I know you bring me down
But still somehow you seem to get me high

[Chorus]
Oh papi, I sit and
Think about all of the
Things that we go through
And I wonder why I stay with you
But there's something in your backstroke
(And it keeps me yearning you)
Something in your backstroke

[Verse 2]
Here it is, I'ma make it plain
I'ma lay it on the line (Lay it on the line)
Mostly, I feel you're just a waste of my time
But oh-oh (I want ya)
I, I (I gotta have ya)
Oh-oh (Really don't need you)
Oh, but it's the way you love me
That keeps me thinking, papi, oh I

[Chorus]
Oh papi, I sit and (Oh papi)
Think about all of the (Oh, yes, you do)
Things that we go through
And I wonder why I stay with you (I wonder)
But there's something in your backstroke
(And it keeps me yearning you)
Something in your backstroke (Whoa, whoa)

[Refrain]
And it keeps me yearning you (Ooh, ooh)
And it keeps me yearning you (Ooh, ooh)
And it keeps me yearning you (Ooh, ooh)
And it keeps me yearning you

[Bridge]
I can't do this forever but right now I'd rather
Just give in and get your love tonight

[Chorus]
Oh papi, I sit and
Think about all of the (Oh, ooh)
Things that we go through
And I wonder why I stay with you (I wonder)
But there's something in your backstroke
(And it keeps me yearning you, keeps me)
Something in your backstroke (Whoa, whoa, papi)

Oh papi, I sit and (Sit and think about)
Think about all of the (All we could do)
Things that we go through
And I wonder why I stay with you (I wonder)
But there's something in your backstroke
(And it keeps me yearning you, and it keeps me)
Something in your backstroke (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Outro]
Oh, uh-uh, oh
Oh, uh-uh, oh
Oh, uh-uh, oh
Oh, your backstroke
Oh, uh-uh, oh (Papi, it is your)
Oh, uh-uh, oh (Papi, it is your)
Oh, uh-uh, oh (Papi, it is your)
Oh, your backstroke
