Stroke 9 – Little Black Backpack (In Album Bumper To Bumper) lyrics

The Bumper to Bumper version of this song has explicit lyrics. The band, and their management, made a decision to alter the lyrics for the version on Nasty Little Thoughts, so that the song would have mass appeal and not have to be altered for radio or television.

i know it, it's a shame
a shame i can't show it
and i see it, i can see it now
but i'm so far below it

and i believe you, yes i do
the things that you say are so true
and i, well i trust you,
thought i could trust you now
in everything that you do

don't wanna, don't wanna talk about it
i say why not
don't wanna think about it
i say there's got
to be some good reason
for your little black backpack
up, smack, turnaround he's on his back

don't want to tango with you
i'd rather tangle with him
i wanna smash his fucking head in
and this shouldn't concern you except that
just don't expect to get your
bloody black backpack back

i feel you, yes i can
what about that don't you understand
and i sense you, its something sensual
but its less than i planned

don't wanna, don't wanna talk about it
i say why not
don't wanna think about it
i say there's got
to be some good reason
for your little black backpack
up, smack, turnaround he's on his back

don't want to tango with you
i'd rather tangle with him
i wanna smash his fucking head in
and this shouldn't concern you except that
just don't expect to get your
bloody black backpack back

not gonna get it back
no, no, no
aw, no, no, no
not gonna get it back
no, no
there you go
aw baby, no, no, no

don't wanna, don't wanna talk about it
i say why not
don't wanna think about it
i say there's got
to be some good reason
for your little black backpack
up, smack, turnaround he's on his back

don't want to tango with you
i'd rather tangle with him
i wanna smash his fucking head in
and this shouldn't concern you except that
just don't expect to get your
bloody black backpack back

don't want to tango with you
i'd tather tangle with him
I wanna smash his fucking head in
and this shouldn't concern you except that
just don't expect to get your
bloody black backpack back

Well I know it's
It's a shame
A shame I can't show it
And I see it
I can see it now
But I'm so far below it
Don't wanna

Don't wanna talk about it
I say why not?
Don't wanna think about it
I say there's got to be some good reason
For your little black backpack
Up, smack, turnaround he's on his back
and
Don't wanna tango with you
I'd rather tangle with him
I think I'm gonna bash his head in
And this shouldn't concern you except that
Just don't expect to get your bloody black backpack back

And I can feel you
Yes I can
What about that don't you understand?
And I sense you
It's something sensual
But it's less than I planned
Don't wanna

Don't wanna talk about it
I say why not?
Don't wanna think about it
I say there's got to be some good reason
For your little black backpack
Up, smack, turnaround he's on his back
and
Don't wanna tango with you
I'd rather tangle with him
I think I'm gonna bash his head in
And this shouldn't concern you except that
Just don't expect to get your bloody black backpack back

You're trying to find a reason for the way you feel tonight
You're mind is lined with layers of lead
Have you heard one thing that I've said?

Don't wanna talk about it
I say why not?
Don't wanna think about it
I say there's got to be some good reason
For your little black backpack
Up, smack, turnaround he's on his back
and
Don't wanna tango with you
I'd rather tangle with him
I think I'm gonna bash his head in
And this shouldn't concern you except that
Just don't expect to get your bloody black backpack back
Don't wanna tango with you
I'd rather tangle with him
I think I'm gonna bash his head in
And this shouldn't concern you except that
Just don't expect to get your bloody black backpack back
