Non-controversial! Or so I hope. ;)

At another forum I've been frequenting, someone whose English is a second language asked for help with lyrics. The song is "In my Back" and she had:

I can't take it
Why you stab me in the back?
We're so gonna loose
>>> And she knows they got this to be

That last one is the question. Obviously somebody has transcribed them all screwy. ("Lose" is misspelled, as is "liar" in another verse.)

I also found

I can't take it
Why you stab me in the back?
Were starting to lose it
>> And shes don't doesnt know when

and:

I can't take it
Why you stab me in the back?
We're so gonna loose
>> And she, knows that she's the winner


Does anybody know what the blasted words are??

Yup, that's taken from the thing that's all over the internet that is where the person with the question got her version.

But it's obviously nonsense!

"And she, knows they got this to be"

What could that possibly mean? Nothing! Some bozo has copied out what they thought they heard and a bunch of other people have copied it on.

I thought some fans here might be able to sing the real thing by heart. ;)

You're just preaching the Bible and they still speakin you're a lier
And you still deal with the fires
That they made...

dah dah dah dah dah
dah dah dah dah dah
dah dah dah dah dah, you
dah dah dah dah dah
dah dah dah dah dah
dah dah dah dah dah

Why you wanna get me?
Dreams don't last forever
Why you wanna fix me?
See, if the police don't take it
God forsake it
I can't take it

Why you stab me in the back?

We're so gonna loose
And she, knows they got this to be
She... I dah dah dah dah dah

dah dah dah dah dah
dah dah dah dah dah
dah dah dah dah dah people
dah dah dah dah dah
dah dah dah dah dah
dah dah dah dah dah

Why you wanna get me?
This dude won't last forever
Why you wanna hit me?
See, if the police don't take it
God forsake it
I'll fell breaking

Why you stab me in the back?

Is all I could find for now, spelling mistakes and all, but the video is here...

Aha, a youtube and a myvideo -- I couldn't find one, probably had the title wrong. Thanks!

It's at about 2:00 at youtube and it is completely incomprehensible!

Thanks much, I'll pass that on.

If anybody wants to take a shot at it - and how you'd say it in French ;) -- feel free!

Janey, the title is 'In THE Back' lol

Stray I'm not a big MJ fan either, though I did like some of his stuff.

I knew that, TW. ;)

I did, honesly, I just wrote it wrong here! Of course, I didn't know it before I'd googled. I think I could probably name an MJ song if I tried ... Monster. There! I think ...
