STAND BACK

Writers: 

Carole King and Paul Williams

Lyrics: 

I need a Ken doll pilot with a sexy smile and a flying limousine
To pick me up, go the extra mile and deliver me to the scene
I need five more hours in the average day
One to get the work done, four to play
Be a devil and angel, you know what I mean

Stand back, out of my way
Stand back, you're crowding my day
No time for good manners, do what I say
If you're not here to help, then you're in the way
Stand back, oh, stand back, you're distracting me, yeah

The road is littered with the faint of heart, the fools who fell from stress
It's a fact of life that you can't catch up
Better learn how to love the mess
So I'll just kick back, ignore the noise
Have my way with the pretty boys
What I dream at night, don't even try to guess

Stand back, out of my way
Stand back, you're crowding my day
Now, this is my time to step up to the mike
Like rock and roll lightning, I'm ready to strike
Stand back

My reputation in the neighborhood
Is that I do my best when I'm up to no good
If you know me at all, there's one thing you should have learned
Get close enough to me, you'll be blissed out or burned

Stand back, oh, stand back, oh
Stand back, out of my way
Stand back, you're crowding my day

Stay real close, don't get too far
I wanna know right where you are
I wanna give you body and soul food
Don't lose control, dude
I'm on the case
But I'm on a mission
I know you're wishin' to get together
But the time and place ain't right yet
It's a tight bet
It'll happen somehow, but not now

Stand back, oh, stand back, oh, stand back, oh
Stand back, stand back, stand back
