I don't want you to be high--
I don't want you to be down--
Don't want to tell you no lie---
Just want you to be a-round-
Please come right up to my ears---
You will be able to hear what I say-
Don't want you out in my world-
Just you be my back street girl--
Please don't be part of my life--
Please keep yourself to yourself--
Please don't you bother my wife--
That way you won't get no help--
Don't try to ride on my horse--
You're rather common and coarse an-y-way-
Don't want you out in my world-
Just you be my back street girl--
Please don't you call me at home--
Please don't come knocking at night-
Please never ring on the phone-
Your manners are never quite right-
Please take the favors I grant--
Curtsy and look nonchalant, just for me
Don't want you part of my world-
Just you be my back street girl--
