about

Think of all the people you've met in your life who hug and kiss you - and then talk badly about you behind your back.
With a New Orleans second line feel!

lyrics

YOU HUG MY FRONT AND STAB MY BACK

You think I like you, but I don’t
You think I’ll thank you, but I won’t
You want to always call me dear
You think it’s what I want to hear
You list the things you say you lack
You hug my front and stab my back.

You tell me how you’re always fair
Yet your trust is very rare
You’re making plans for my demise
You’re so creative with your lies
You gotta always give me flack
You hug my front and stab my back.

CH You hug my front and stab my back
You’re hoping my resolve will crack
Please let me off this spinning wheel
I didn’t sign up for this deal.

I say that everything ain’t fair
Why don’t the people try to share
Why’s all the money at the top
When will this game begin to stop
Why can’t we have the things we lack
You hug my front and stab my back.

I want to split from this rat race
It’s really quite a big disgrace
Maybe someday I can stop
Or I’ll just work until I drop
There is a dream I’d love to reach
And one day wake up on a beach.

You think I like you, but I don’t
You think I’ll thank you, but I won’t
You want to always call me dear
You think it’s what I want to hear
You list the things you say you lack
You hug my front and stab my back.

I think you’re trains run off the track
I think you’re talking kind of whack
You don’t know if you’re white or black
You always want your money back
You hug my front and stab my back!
