I don't want you to be high
I don't want you to be down
Don't want to tell you no lie
I just want you to be around

Come right up to my ears
You will be able to hear what I say
I don't want you in my world
Please just be my back street girl

Please never ring on the phone
Please don't come knocking at night
Please never call me at home
Your manners are never quite right

Don't ask to ride on my horse
You're very common and coarse anyway
I don't want you out in my world
Please just be my back street girl

Please don't be part of my life
Please keep yourself to yourself
Please don't be part of my life
That way you won't catch no help

Take all these favors I grant
Curtsy and look nonchalant, just at me
I don't want you in my world
Please just be my back street girl
Please just be my back street girl
