Backfired when you least expected them to
Backfired now that I'm rejecting you
No longer seems to be to satisfy
I can't cry a river 'cause the well has run dry
(Backfired) I'll no longer play the fool
(Backfired) I'll no longer take your abuse
(Backfired) You said baby we are through
(Backfired) I don't need your bad news
Oh, oh your bad news, oh oh
Backfired at you when you broke all the rules
That now my love is coming back to you, oh
I don't ned ya knocking at my door, oh
I don't need ya, I can't take no more
(Backfired) I'll no longer play the fool
(Backfired) I'll no longer take your abuse
(Backfired) You said baby we are through
(Backfired) I don't need your bad news, no no
I'll no longer play the fool (Backfired)
I'll no longer take your abuse (Backfired)
You said baby we are through (Backfired)
I could have gave you lovin' just like you wanted
But you'll never do right by me
Instead you felt the need to hang on and pretend
So now I've gotta set you free
You know it backfired, oh oh
Gave you lovin' just like you wanted me to
I could have gave you lovin' just like you wanted
But you'll never do right by me (Never do right by me)
Instead you felt the need to hang on and pretend
So now I've gotta set you free! (Set you free!)
I claim the victory (Backfired)
(She's got it, she's got it)
I don't need to, I don't need to cry about it
(This time it, this time it, this time it Backfired)
I'm gonna laugh about it, haha
(This time it, this time it, this time it Backfired)
(This time it, this time it, this time it Backfired)
(This time it, this time it, this time it Backfired)
You see, you played yourself
Back when you knew I was the only one for you
I'll no longer take your abuse
(I wanna set you free, I wanna set you free)
Oh baby, babe (I wanna set you free)
I just can't take it no more (I wanna set you free)
It's over now, over now (I wanna set you free)
I don't wanna take no more, no more, from you
(I wanna set you free) Oh baby (I wanna set you free)
I can't cry a river, the well has run dry
And I don't need to sacrifice
No longer will I sacrifice
And no more lies and alibies
I'll no longer play the fool
It backfired (Oh, oh oh) x 15
It did, it backfired on you (Oh, oh oh)
