Back TalkJourney

Songwriter: Steve Perry Jonathan Cain Steve Smith

[Verse]
I work all day to make a living
No one needs
Your kind of attitude
Your sharp tongue
It cuts me like a razor
Lip service gets you nowhere
No, no, no
Back talk I don't need it
B-B-B-back talk I don't need it
No, no, no back talk
Don't want to hear it
Don't give me no back talk
Watch that temper
You watch what you're saying
Don't talk to me
With that tone of voice
Your act is pushing me
To the limit
Can't stand it, can't stand it
Can't take it any more
Don't wan't back talk
I don't need it
Don't give me back talk
I don't want to hear it
Don't give me back talk
Don't need it, no
I believe you enjoy
This aggravation
Lately that's all I get from you
You were born to drive me crazy
Can't take it, can't take it any more from you
No, no more
Back talk, I don't need it[x2]
Back talk, Don't want to hear it
Don't give me no back talk
Sassy back talk
Don't give me no sassy back talk
No I don't want to hear it
No don't really need it
No don't give me no
Give me no don't you give me no

Journey

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
