Stand Back

When I first met you, baby

You were like a star in my night

Reaching down to rescue me

You took me on a flight

Then you tried to put your change on me

Tellin' me what I shouldn't do

Shadowing my every move

I can't escape from you

Stand back

Give me room to move in

If you want my time

Ooh, you better stand back

Better keep your distance

Can you read my mind'

Treat me like a lady is

But don't you cramp my style

I've got to live my own life too

To make it worth my while

When I step out in the evening

I can't tell you when I'll return

I'm the pilot of my destiny

It's something you've got to know

So stand back

Give me room to move in

If you want my time

Ooh, you better stand back

Better keep your distance

Can you read my mind'

I'm not saying, I don't need your love

Keep me satisfied, yeah

I'm just like any other girl

I can share my heart only if you treat me right

Whoa, oh, yeah

My love, ooh

Oh, oh, oh

Stand back

Give me room to move in

If you want my time

You better stand back

Oh, better keep your distance

Can you read my mind, ooh

(Stand back)

Give me room to move in, oh, oh,

If you want my time, oh, oh, oh, oh

(Stand back)

Better keep your distance

Can you read my mind' Ooh, ooh, oh

Why don't you

(Stand back)

Give me room to move in

If you want my time, oh, oh, oh

(Stand back)

Better keep your distance, oh

Can you read my mind, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Stand back)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh

(Stand back)

Ooh, ho, oh

(Stand back)

Oh, ooh, oh, ooh

(Stand back)

Ooh, ooh, oh, hoo

(Stand back)

Oh, hoo, hoo, oh, oh, ooh, ooh

(Stand back)

Oh, ho, hoo, oh, ho, hoo

(Stand back)

Oh, ho, ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, oh, ooh

(Stand back)

Oh, oh, oh, ooh, ooh, oh

Why don't you stand back
