All you fellows who have someone and you really care, yeah, yeah

A few of your buddies they sure look shady
Blades are long, clenched tight in their fist
Aimin' straight at your back

Verse 2:
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

What can I do to get on the right track
I wish they'd take some of these knives off my back
[repeat chorus]
