Back Away - Elkie Brooks
Written by:E.Brooks/JermaineJordan
Kids'd always tease him
You know how they can be
Mum and dad would leave him
Father beat him constantly
When he grew into a young man
The girls would gather 'round
No one ever reached him
He was too shy to ask them out
The town was disbelieving
Was it luke that robbed the store
Always such a nice boy
Said the lady from next door
How could he be so desperate
To go with such a plan
The devil must have got him
Shouted father from the van
Back away from the door he cried
Back away from the door or die
Back away from the door he cried
Back away from the door or die
He started out on vodka
Sniffing glue to ease the pain
Then he'd smoke a little crack
Now it's h****n and c*****e
Back away from the door he cried
Back away from the door or die
Back away from the door he cried
Back away
Back away from the door or die
Back away from the door he cried
Back away
Back away from the door or die
Back away from the door he cried
Back away from the door or die
Back away from the door he cried
Back away from the door or die
Of our unborn child
They battered down the door
She pleaded I'm his wife
Nobody would listen it was too late
They took his life
Back away from the door he cried
Back away from the door or die
Like it was nothing
Back away from the door he cried
They took his life
Back away from the door or die
Back away from the door he cried
Back away from the door or die
They took his life
Back away from the door he cried
Back away
Back away from the door or die
Back away back away back away from the door
Back away back away back away from the door
Get back
Back away back away back away from the door
Get back
Back away back away
They took his life
Back away from the door
Get back
