Backslide Lyrics by The Mayfield Four

Second Skin

2001

[Intro]
Hoo-Hoo!
Hoo-Hoo!

[Verse 1]
Nothing's good enough
You gave the moon
And the stars above
To the queen of pain
Now you've gotta know
She'll take you down
Just like before
So don't go back there again

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Your head may want it
But your soul will break

[Chorus 1]
You can't get enough
(Don't go back you'll be better off)
You can't get enough
(Don't go back you don't need her love)
And don't you backslide, stay away
Hoo-Hoo!

[Verse 2]
Kills you all the time
And her disease may take a while
To heal and find some relief
There's no remedy
To push away that entity
That tempts you when you're weak

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Stay strong, don't give in
Hold steady, don't shake

[Chorus 2]
You can't get enough
(Don't go back you'll be better off)
You can't get enough
(Don't go back you don't need her love)
And don't you backslide stay away
Hoo-Hoo!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus 3]
You can't get enough
(Don't go back you'll be better off)
You can't get enough
(Don't go back you don't need her love)
And don't you backslide stay away
Hoo-Hoo!
You can't get enough
(Don't go back you'll be better off)
You can't get enough
(Don't go back you don't need her love)
And don't you backslide stay away

[Outro]
Hoo-Hoo!
Just stay away
Hoo-Hoo!
