Backtalk
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I work all day to make a livin'
No one needs
Your kind of attitude
Your sharp tongue
It cuts me like a razor
Lip service gets you nowhere
No, no, no
Back talk I don't need it
B-B-B-back talk I don't need it
No, no, no back talk
Don't want to hear it
Don't give me no back talk
Watch that temper
You watch what you're sayin'
Don't talk to me
With that tone of voice
Your act is pushin' me
To the limit
Can't stand it, can't stand it
Can't take it any more
Don't won't back talk
I don't need it
Don't give me back talk
I don't want to hear it
Don't give me back talk
Don't need it, no
I believe you enjoy
this aggravation
Lately that's all I get from you
You were born to drive me crazy
Can't take it, can't take it any more from you
No, no more
Back talk, I don't need it
Back talk, I don't need it
Back talk, Don't want to hear it
Don't give me no back talk
Sassy back talk
Don't give me no sassy back talk
No I don't want to hear it
No don't really need it
No don't give me no
Give me no don't you give me no
