Backdoor Man lyrics

Backdoor man

Oh, don't you leave me, backdoor man

For if you leave me, I'll get in

A New York state of mind

Backdoor man

Stay till the morning, ten to one

Husband won't show in before dawn

We got a lot of time

They say

I don't care 'bout what they say

You know my ins

And you will learn 'bout my outs

The moon is like a flashlight

When you blend in with the night

Backdoor man

Oh, don't you leave me, I'll feel down

I'll be daydreamin', prayin' hard, prayin' hard

You were back in no time

Backdoor man

When the game's over, when we're through, when we're through

You'll run for cover, here they come

The New York states of mind

They say

I don't care 'bout what they say

You know my ins

And you will learn 'bout my outs

The moon is like a flashlight

When you blend in with the night

Backdoor man

Oh, don't you leave me, backdoor man

For if you leave me, I'll get in

A New York state of mind

Backdoor man
