Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Backfired
Your plan, your plan backfired
Backfired
My man, your plan backfired in your face
[Verse 2]
You came into my life to test me
Your diplomatic drag depressed me
The glitter in your eyes undressed me
You were polished slick, really thick
Wasting time dropping lines like, "I could get you into movies"
But we wound up at HoJo's for hamburgers to go
[Verse 3]
Backfired
Your plan backfired
Backfired
My man, your plan backfired in your face
[Verse 4]
To steal my mind was your objective
The way you spoke was too aggressive
The silly jokes were not impressive
Like a traveling salesman met farmer with three daughters, yet
All the quips were so suggestive
Then we ran down to HoJo's for hamburgers to go
[Verse 5]
Backfired
Your plan backfired
Backfired
My man, your plan backfired in your face
[Verse 6]
(Well, come here, my little dear, I've got what it takes)
(Give me just what I want and I'll give you a break)
So don't slip on your lips 'cause you're talking so fast
Buying for first, crying for last
(Well, come on, my little lady, don't shoot me down)
(I've got strong connections all over town)
Just drop to a dead stop
(What?)
[Verse 7]
Backfired
Your plan backfired
Backfired
My man, your plan backfired
[Verse 8]
You were polished slick really thick
Wasting time dropping lines
Backfired
A traveling salesman met a farmer with three daughters, yet
Backfired
[Verse 9]
Backfired
Your plan backfired
Couldn't work out, no
Backfired
My man, your plan backfired in your face
It backfired
[Verse 10]
Backfired
Your plan just backfired
No, no, it couldn't work out
Backfired
[Verse 11]
Better get a new line and try it again
Slick performance on demand
Backfired
You better back up fast and head out west
You may still collect
Backfired
[Verse 12]
It backfired
Your plan backfired
Too bad
Backfired
My man, your plan backfired
[Verse 13]
(Well, come here, my little dear, I've got what it takes)
(Give me just what I want and I'll give you a break)
So don't slip on your lips 'cause you're talking so fast
Buying for first, crying for last
(Well, come on, my little lady, don't shoot me down)
(I've got strong connections all over town)
Just drop to a dead stop
