Great site Sharon, maybe you can help me. I'm looking for the lyrics to a Motown Hit called, "Backstabbers". It was sung by one of Motown's groups but I cannot remember who. I think it came out in the late '60s or early '70s or sometime between 1967-1970. Thanks Sharon

BACK STABBERS

(What they do!)
(They smile in your face)
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers (back stabbers)
(They smile in your face)
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers (back stabbers)
All you fellows who have someone and you really care, yeah, yeah
Then it's all of you fellows who better beware, yeah yeah
Somebody's out to get your lady
A few of your buddies they sure look shady
Blades are long, clenched tight in their fist
Aimin' straight at your back
And I don't think they'll miss
(What they do!)
(They smile in your face)
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers (back stabbers)
I keep gettin' all these visits from my friends, yeah, what they doin to me
They come to my house again and again and again and again, yeah
So are they there to see my woman
I don't even be home but they just keep on comin'
What can I do to get on the right track
I wish they'd take some of these knives off my back
(They smile in your face)
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers (back stabbers)
Low down... dirty...
(What they do!)
(They smile in your face)
Smiling faces... smiling faces sometimes tell lies (Back stabbers)
(They smile in your face)
I don't need... low down, dirty bastards (Back stabbers

It's great to hear you sing Bill, oh hang on I need to adjust my speakers, there appears to be smoke flying outta them, oops ... never mind, that's your cigar, lol ..... great job!! You're hired for the next entertainment event in the O's Club -

YES!!! That's the one, thanks so much Bill, ty, ty, ty Now I can put my mind to rest on this one. Take care Bill

A blast form my past.....amazing how things have changed, and how sad the things that were important we took for granted, never realizing that they could disappear altogether.....
