Jimmy The Dog - Backbeat Lyrics

Hey girl I'm back in town been seein' you around
It's been like a long long time but it only
Feels like yesterday
I've had a crush on you since way way back in school
When you sang in our rock'n'soul band
And I hear you're footloose once again

I'm feelin' something good I hope you feel it too
Tell me if I'm a step outta line I'd like you to hear
What I'm gonna say
I'm quite a different guy to your old beau and I
Won't ever treat you bad
I can be your rock your soul hey whatcha say

I'll never let you down I'll be your backbeat
You can count on me now
Open your heart to me I'll be the backbeat
To the song of your heart yeah

I've had my downs and ups champagne and paper cups
I see you've seen the same but you know there's a
Bright light if you see
I'm thinkin' you and me would make a real good team
Why don't we give it a try
Wanna be your four-on-the-floor solid beat hey whatcha say

I'll never let you down I'll be your backbeat
You can count on me now
Open your heart to me I'll be the backbeat
To the song of your heart yeah

I know this band that's cool rock solid as a rule
I'll get us in at The Borderline
Let's have ourselves a date we can dance 'til late
And have us a good time wha'd'ya say

I'll never let you down I'll be your backbeat
You can count on me now
Open your heart to me I'll be the backbeat
To the song of your heart yeah
I'll never let you down I'll be your backbeat
You can count on me now
Open your heart to me I'll be the backbeat
To the song of our lives yeah
