Nitetime

I don't like what I'm seeing
In the world today
Money talks people listen
Cuz everyone's on the make
I'm sick and tired of hearing
You gotta compromise
You'd better do some business
If you wanna survive
Oh oh oh oh oh
I hear the same thing everyday
Oh oh oh oh oh
If you want to get somewhere you gotta pay the fare
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back or I won't play this game with you
Oh oh oh oh oh
You got the answer right here in your hands
Oh oh oh oh oh
If you want to get somewhere you got to touch me there
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back or I won't play this game with you
Yeah ow
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back or I won't play this game with you
Ow yeah
When I'm with you at night
And we're safe in my room
I let your love surround me
And the words have a different tune
Ow
Oh oh oh oh oh
You got the answer right here in your hands
Oh oh oh oh oh
If you want to get somewhere you got to touch me there
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back or I won't play this game with you
Ow yeah
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back or I won't play this game with you
No oh c'mon
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back or I won't play this game with you
No c'mon
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back or I won't play this game with you
