Backfire
Salvatore, you can def be my baby blue
Be my mafiosi rock 'n' roll high
Back to thoughts of you in our universe for two
We're like Sid and Nancy loving the fight

We got a jumper
Got a jumper
Got a jumper
Got a jumper
My man's crazy and his mind is a knife
But I like him, fact, I love him
I can't get e-enough of him
He knows only I can save him tonight


I've been waiting on your love
Baby, for too long now, too long now
I thought that I could save you like the others
But I don't know how, don't know how
It's gonna backfire
It's gonna backfire, baby
Gonna backfire, gonna backfire, baby
Told you a million times before
Yeah I'll run for it a million more

I'm tired of fighting you
Seems like evеrything I do
Even when I win, I lose with you, man
And it's not somеthing you choose
You say trouble follows you
It's been like that since the day you began
We got a jumper
Got a jumper
Got a jumper
Got a jumper
I know very well you're bringing me down
I will follow, I will follow
For a little piece of heaven
I am ready, I am willing to drown


I've been waiting on our love
Baby, for too long now, too long now
I thought that I could save you like the others
But I don't know how, don't know how
It's gonna backfire
It's gonna backfire, baby
Gonna backfire, gonna backfire, baby
We've done one million times before
Yes, I'll come for it a million more


Yeah we're always taking trips downtown
Officer Brown's always coming around
Tapping on our windows, "kids, come out
Ain't no way to live, let me show you how"
But we know we're not gonna change
Keep dreaming every night and day

I've been waiting on our love
Baby, for too long now, too long now
I thought that I could save you like the others
But I don't know how, don't know how
It's gonna backfire
It's gonna backfire, baby
Gonna backfire, gonna backfire, baby
Done it a million times before
And I'll run for it a million more
