In every town, every neighbourhood You'll always meet one, though you never should He'll be your friend, he'll swear on his life Then turn your back and in goes the knife
He'll always say he agrees with you Nod his head at your point of view And when you're gone he'll change your loyalties He'll go and side with your enemies
(chorus) 'Cos he's a backstabber, there's one in every place Backstabber, which one is your face? Backstabber, can you hear the call? Backstabber, that's gonna bring about your fall Backstabber
Backstabber loves to see you fall You have to put your back up against the wall He'll do his best to bring you down For two-faced lies, he's the worst around
The hatred lurks behind his eyes But on his face is a friendly smile One face and then two But turn around and the knife's in you
