[Intro]
Ahh (Back-back-backstabber)
Ahh (Back-back-backstabber)
Ahh (Back-back-backstabber)

[Verse 1]
Bored, stoned, sittin' in your basement
All alone 'cause your little conversations
Got around and lookie what we all found out
(Lookie what we found)
Lookie here, we all found out
That you have got a set of loose lips
Twistin' stories, all because you're jealous
Now I know exactly what you're all about
What you're all about, this is what you're all about

[Chorus]
Girl, you're such a backstabber (Stabber)
You're such a backstabber
Oh, girl, you're such a shit-talker
And everybody knows it, and everybody knows it
Girl (Girl), you're such a backstabber (Stabber)
You're such a backstabber
Run your mouth more than anyone I've ever known
And everybody knows it, and everybody knows it

[Post-Chorus]
Back-back-backstabber
(Talk, talk, talk)
(Talk, talk, talk)
(Talk, talk)

[Verse 2]
I'm sick and tired of hearing all about
My life from other people with all of your
Lies, wrapped up so tight
So maybe you should shut your mouth (Shut your mouth)
You never shut your mouth
Honestly, I think it's kind of funny
That you waste your breath talkin' about me
Got me feelin' kinda special, really
This is what you're all about

[Chorus]
Girl, you're such a backstabber (Stabber)
You're such a backstabber
Oh, girl, you're such a shit-talker
And everybody knows it, and everybody knows it
Girl (Girl), you're such a backstabber (Stabber)
You're such a backstabber
Run your mouth more than anyone I've ever known
And everybody knows it, and everybody knows it

[Bridge]
Katie's to my left, rippin' my style
Damn, Jeanie, why you gotta tell the secrets 'bout my sex life?
All I ever did was drive your broke ass around
Pick you up, take you out
When your car broke down

[Pre-Chorus]
Ahh (Back-back-backstabber)
Ahh (Stabber, stabber)
Ahh (Back-back-backstabber)

[Chorus]
Girl, you're such a backstabber (Stabber)
You're such a backstabber
Oh, girl (Oh, girl), you're such a shit-talker
And everybody knows it, and everybody knows it
Girl (Oh, girl), you're such a backstabber (Stabber)
(Taking and twisting and telling, so manipulating)
Run your mouth more than anyone I've ever known
And everybody knows it, and everybody knows it

[Outro]
Talk, talk, talk (Back-back-backstabber)
(Taking and twisting and telling, so manipulating)
Oh, girl, talk, talk
You're lookin' like a lunatic
And everybody knows it, and everybody knows it
Everybody knows (Back-back-backstabber)
Yeah, you're lookin' like a lunatic
And everybody knows (Back-back-backstabber)
Yeah, everybody knows (Back-back-backstabber)

Kesha Rose Sebert, whose mononymous stage name was previously spelled Ke$ha, is an American singer-songwriter best known for hits like “Tik Tok” and “Praying.” Her mother, Pebe Sebert is also a songwriter, and the two have worked together on songs like “Learn to Let Go.”

In 2005, at age eighteen, Kesha signed a record deal with Dr. Luke’s Kemosabe Records. Her first major recording was an uncredited feature on Flo Rida’s 2009 hit “Right ‘Round,” which she recorded after walking into a session between Flo and Dr. Luke. She released her debut album, Animal, the next year, after choosing from hundreds of songs, and the record debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Lead single “Tik Tok” broke the record for the longest time for a female artist’s debut single to top the Billboard Hot 100.

Nine months after Animal dropped, Kesha rereleased it alongside Cannibal, an extended play featuring hits like “We R Who We R,” which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and “Blow.” In February 2011, Kesha kicked off her Get Sleazy Tour, which travelled through the Americas, Europe, and Australia. During the tour, she began writing for her sophomore album, Warrior, which was released in November 2012. She then embarked on a world tour, and was joined by future “Timber” collaborator Pitbull on the North American leg.
