[Pharrell]
I was walking, down the street
Saw this girl, she smell so sweet
....Hey baby...
She start running, so I could chase
How they get them saffires, in yo face
....Hey baby...

So we start walking, and holding hands
But she don't know, that daddy got plans
I'm gon' get her, in my car
In the backseat, show her a rock star

She said, "I been hugged, and I been kissed
But ain't no other boy, make me feel like this."
....I know baby...
So then she starts screaming, and reaching for the door
"Daddy I ain't never felt this before!"

Stay in the car, put the windows up
No seatbelt, no need to buckle up
Emergency brakes, no need for the clutch
But wait... ah, don't get a ticket girl!

[Hook - Pharrell]
Backseat love, backseat love
Backseat love, backseat love
Backseat love, backseat love
Backseat love, backseat love
Backseat love, backseat love
Backseat love, backseat love
Backseat love, backseat love
Backseat love, backseat..

[Bridge - Pharrell]
Love, love, (backseat love) love, love (backseat love)
Love, love, (backseat love) love, love (backseat love)
Love, love, (backseat love) love, love (backseat love)
Love, love, (backseat love) love, love (backseat love)
Love, love, (backseat love) love, love (backseat love)
Love, love, (backseat love) love, love (backseat love)

N.E.R.D. (officially stylized as NER*D, as seen on their covers) is a backronym that stands for No-One Ever Really Dies.

N.E.R.D. is a hip-hop and rock band whose members include Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, also known as The Neptunes, and Shae Haley. The band was formed as a side project by the Neptunes in 1999. Williams and Hugo had known each other since 1985 when they were 12, and they met Shae Haley a few years later in high school. Hugo and Williams signed a deal when they graduated high school in 1992 and eventually, Hailey joined them when N.E.R.D. was formed.

In September 2001 the band released their first album, In Search Of in Europe. They used digital production for the project but when they prepared for the worldwide release a year later they opted to re-record the album with a live funk rock band known as Spymob. Two years later in March of 2004, they released their second album, Fly or Die. Unfortunately, the two albums didn’t have nearly as much success as The Neptunes production work—collectively the two albums barely broke a million copies sold. In 2005 the group supposedly disbanded because of a dispute with Virgin Records, but Pharrell contradicted this claim in an April 2008
