Take the backseat, little girl
The man you think you love is on the make again
You'll have to prove that you're the ultimate friend
Catch him on the rebound when his new love ends.

Take the backseat, little girl
He'll only love you when he's lonely and down
Come crawling back when no-one else is around
Will you be waiting when it all dies down?

Nobody wants your man
But he just won't stop trying
And you're all alone
In the backseat crying

Ooh, the backseat, little girl
Is that the place for one as lovely as you
It's hard to love him when he'll never be true
Are you content with being number two?

Oh, the backseat, little girl....
