I told you once, now tell you twice
I'm not gonna be a fool
'Cause when it comes down to my heart
It's not gonna be abused
Now I've been locked down and stepped on
And it's cold down on the floor
And I don't recall seeing your head
When I couldn't take anymore
(Back it up) Don't you tell me that your love is for real
You got to prove how you really feel
(Back it up) Don't you say you wanna be my man
I got to know that you understand
Hey, boy, you better back it up
Now I'm not tryin' to judge you
Your intentions might be fine
But the last time I trusted someone
All I could do was break down and cry
When it comes to heartache and pain
There'll be no deja-vu, back it up
And I don't recall seeing your head
When I couldn't take anymore
(Back it up) Don't need no-one to write a beat on my heart
I've got to know that this love's gonna start
(Back it up) Your hugs and kisses, they don't mean a thing
I've got to know that it's real love you bring
(Back it up) If you want some love give some in return
Don't just smile, you're gonna have to earn
(Back it up) I need someone to show me that they care
I need a man who will always be there
You better back it up
(Back it up)
When it comes to heartache and pain
There'll be no deja-vu
(Back it up) Don't you tell me that your love is for real
You got to prove how you really feel
(Back it up) Don't need no-one to write a beat on my heart
I've got to know that this love's gonna start
(Back it up) Your hugs and kisses, they don't mean a thing
I've got to know that it's real love you bring
(Back it up) Back it up, you
Back it up
I'm not gonna be a fool
'Cause when it comes down to my heart
It's not gonna be abused
Now I've been locked down and stepped on
And it's cold down on the floor
And I don't recall seeing your head
When I couldn't take anymore
(Back it up) Don't you tell me that your love is for real
You got to prove how you really feel
(Back it up) Don't you say you wanna be my man
I got to know that you understand
Hey, boy, you better back it up
Now I'm not tryin' to judge you
Your intentions might be fine

All I could do was break down and cry
When it comes to heartache and pain
There'll be no deja-vu, back it up
