Backfire
Burn burn, burn burn (b-b-b-bum-bum)
You might get burned (burn burn)
Backfire (b-b-b-bum-bum) (burn burn)
Caught in the middle (b-b-b-bum-bum)
Burn burn, burn burn (burn burn)
Backfire (b-b-b-bum-bum) (burn burn)
Second fiddle (b-b-b-bum-bum)
Burn burn, burn burn (burn burn)
Now all you girls, with your pretty pretty faces
You got one guy giving you, silks and laces
Another guy who takes you to, exquisite places
You can still lose the hand
Though you're holding all the aces, cause
You can bite off, more than you can chew
And get choked on a thought
That the fool is you
Cause the plan of the sweetest liar, can still backfire
(B-b-b-bum-bum) still backfire (burn burn)
Burn burn, burn burn burn
You might get burned (caught in the middle)
Burn burn, burn, you might get burned
Sometimes the accuser, can still be the loser
And it burn burn burned, you might get burned
Oh, sometimes when fellas get
Just a little bit slick (ooh-oo-oo-oo)
And think we know all the ropes
And we know all the tricks (ooh-oo-oo-oo)
We'll keep one girl in the city
And another in the sticks (ooh-oo-oo-oo)
A-one thing that I know
That we can find out pretty quick, is that
Too many girls in, too many places
Makes it hard to remember, all the names and faces
Cause the plan of the smoothest liar, can still backfire
(B-b-b-bum-bum) still backfire (burn burn)
Burn burn, burn burn burn
You might get burned (caught in the middle)
Burn burn, burn, you might get burned
You might get caught up in the middle
And be playing second fiddle
And get burned burned burned, you might get burned
Backfire
Burn burn, burn burn burn (you might get burned)
Ooh, ooh
Don't you think it can't, happen to you (ooh-oo-oo-oo)
Cause it happens every day, to somebody who
Know a lot just a little too late
That they have crossed the wires (ooh-oo-oo-oo)
Just because they had too many irons in the fire
You better not, make things too hard
Cause you might get burned, when the tables turn
Cause the plan of the smoothest liar, can still backfire
Yeah, still backfire (burn burn)
Burn burn, burn burn burn
You might get burned (caught in the middle)
Burn burn, burn, you might get burned
No the plan of the smoothest liar, can still backfire
(You might get burned) backfire
You might get burned (burn burn)
Backfire (b-b-b-bum-bum) (burn burn)
Caught in the middle (b-b-b-bum-bum)
Burn burn, burn burn (burn burn)
Backfire (b-b-b-bum-bum) (burn burn)
Second fiddle (b-b-b-bum-bum)
Burn burn, burn burn (burn burn)
Now all you girls, with your pretty pretty faces

No the plan of the smoothest liar, can still backfire
(You might get burned) backfire
