[Verse 1]
I've been talking about you
Behind your back
I've been telling people that I've heard things
If they ask
If we ease up and burning up
Well, it's a fact
I've been talking about you
Every chance I had

[Chorus]
It's nothing bad, it's all I have
It's just a chance to say your name, baby
It's nothing bad, it's just a chance
Wanna talk about you
Behind your back

[Verse 2]
I've been talking about you
Behind your back
I know that talking is cheap
But baby, do the math
You were one in a million
And my whole heart's in half
Have is never conscious, it's a word I have

[Verse 3]
I've been telling all my stories to anyone that asks
I've been serving them up in a half-empty glass
But don't go thinking I've lost all my class
When I'm talking about you

[Chorus]
It's nothing bad, it's all I have
It's just a chance to say your name, baby
It's nothing bad, it's just a chance
Wanna talk about you
Behind your back

[Beat Break]

[Outro]
It's nothing bad, it's all I have
It's just a chance to say your name
Again, baby, just a chance
It's all I have
Wanna talk about you
Behind your back
No, it's nothing bad
It's all I have
I'm hoping you'd give me just a chance
If you came back
Another chance
To stop taking about you
Behind your back

Her debut album Whoa! Nelly was released in 2000 to worldwide success with hits such as “I’m Like a Bird”, “Turn Off the Light”, and “…On the Radio (Remember the Days)”. It received four Grammy nominations and one of the singles won for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. It’s sold nine-million copies worldwide to date.
