He tells you lies, he cheats on you too
Baby don't you worry, I'll be your substiute
So let him walk out that door
You don't need him anymore
Cause I can love you better than any man can
Oh I wanna be your backup man, ha

He comes home late at night, tip-toeing across the floor
That's why you gotta change all the locks on your doors
You gotta put him out, cause he won't hurt you anymore
Oh no, no no no
And baby I'm not looking for a one night stand
But oh I wanna be your backup man
Hey hey hey ya

Looky here
He's gotta know that he's been replaced
Now just look at him standing there with egg all over his face
You gotta put him out, and he won't hurt you anymore
No no no no no no
Baby he just got to understand
That oh oh oh I wanna be your backup man
Hey hey hey
I wanna be your, your backup man
Baby I wanna be your, your backup man
He just got to understand
That I, I wanna be your backup man
Come here, come here let me hold you
Tonight, tonight is our night
Oh oh I wanna be your backup man
