Back it up

You better, better back it up

I told you once, now tell you twice
I´m not gonna be a fool
´Cause when it comes down to my heart
It´s not gonna be abused

Now I´ve been locked down and stepped on
And it´s cold down on the floor
And I don´t recall seeing your head
When I couldn´t take anymore

(Back it up) Don´t you tell me that your love is for real
You got to prove how you really feel
(Back it up) Don´t you say you wanna be my man
I got to know that you understand

Hey, boy, you better back it up

Now I´m not tryin´ to judge you
Your intentions might be fine
But the last time I trusted someone
All I could do was break down and cry

When it comes to heartache and pain
There´ll be no deja-vu, back it up
And I don´t recall seeing your head
When I couldn´t take anymore

(Back it up) Don´t need no-one to write a beat on my heart
I´ve got to know that this love´s gonna start
(Back it up) Your hugs and kisses, they don´t mean a thing
I´ve got to know that it´s real love you bring

(Back it up) If you want some love give some in return
Don´t just smile, you´re gonna have to earn
(Back it up) I need someone to show me that they care
I need a man who will always be there
