Masters At Work - Backfired Lyrics

My man, your plans
Backfired when you least expected them to
My man, your plans
Backfired now that I'm rejecting you
My love, your kiss
No longer seems to be to satisfy
My love, my tears
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

My man, your games
Backfired at you when you broke all the rules
You played yourself
That now my love is coming back to you, oh
Go lie somewhere else
I don't ned ya knocking at my door, oh
Stay by yourself
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
(Backfired)

I'll no longer play the fool (Backfired)
I'll no longer take your abuse (Backfired)
You said baby we are through (Backfired)
'Cause I don't need you

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

I claim the victory
It backfired, yes it did
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 the victory)
(Backfired)
(She's got it, she's got it)
(Backfired)
(She's got the victory)

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)
Oh, Backfired
(This time it, this time it, this time it Backfired)
Oh, Backfired
(This time it, this time it, this time it Backfired)

Backfired on you
You see, you played yourself
Back when you knew I was the only one for you
I'll no longer take your abuse
Oh, baby we are through

It Backfired
(It Backfired baby) x11

It Backfired
(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)

No bad news
My love, my tears
I can't cry a river, the well has run dry
(Backfired)
And I don't need to sacrifice
(Backfired)
Anything
(Backfired!)
After been, for you
(Backfired)

(It backfired baby)
Oh baby
(It backfired baby)

And now I say to you
No longer will I cry
No longer will I try
No longer will I sacrifice
And no more lies and alibies
I'll no longer play the fool
Oh baby

It backfired (Oh, oh oh) x 15
It did, it backfired on you (Oh, oh oh)

I claim the victory
Claim the victory
