Backstabber Lyrics by The Kooks

Listen (Deluxe Edition)

2014

[Verse 1]
You're like a rock to a stone
So tell me, how can you break a broken soul?
I don't wanna feel no more
Baby, baby, I just wanna be adored
And something's telling me that you're no rose
Come along, little sister, ghost to ghost

[Chorus]
You're a backstabber, gold chaser
You got demons in your dream catcher
Wave the flag, don't burn me down
Don't burn me down
You're a solid gold digger at your height
You been a backstabber all your life

[Verse 2]
Yeah, you can't help yourself
You love the thrill of something that's not yours
That's why you're back knocking at my door
Oh, baby, baby, you just love to be adored
And something's telling me that you're no rose
Come along, little sister, ghost to ghost

[Chorus]
You're a backstabber, gold chaser
You got demons in your dream catcher
Wave the flag, don't turn me down
Don't burn me down
You're a solid gold digger at your height
You been a backstabber all your life
You been a backstabber all your life
Wave the flag, don't burn me down
Don't burn me down
You're a solid gold digger at your height
You been a backstabber all your life
