Backfired, your plan, your plan backfired Backfired, my man, your plan backfired in your face 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 would up at HoJo's for hamburgers to go! Backfired, your plan backfired Backfired, my man, your plan backfired in your face 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! Backfired, your plan backfired Backfired, my man, your plan backfired in your face 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 Well, 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, and? Backfired, your plan backfired Backfired, my man, your plan backfired You were polished slick, really thick Wasting time dropping lines Backfired "A traveling salesman met a farmer with three daughters", yet! Backfired, backfired Your plan backfired, couldn't work out no Backfired, my man, your plan backfired in your face It backfired Backfired, your plan just backfired Oh no, it couldn't work out, backfired 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 It backfired, your plan backfired Too bad Backfired, my man, your plan backfired 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 Well, 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
