Verse 1

Every day I get complaints from you

D(v) A(v)

Starts me thinking, baby, I'm your fool

D(v) G

Broken dreams all on the floor

You can't back it up any more

Pre-chorus

'Cause I found out, love just ain't enough

I need devotion to back it up

(Back it up, baby)

I found out, love just ain't enough

(Back it up, now)

I need devotion to back it up

Chorus

(Back it up, baby)

Back it up, baby

Right back to the top

(Back it up, now)

You've been demoted 'til the pain has stopped

(Back it up, baby)

Back it up, baby

Roll it over twice

(Back it up, now)

Don't give a .... about the something nice

Said don't give a ....

Verse 2

D(v) G

Hold on now, it's a shady day

D(v) A(v)

You've been cheating on me, friends say

D(v) G

That little lunge and laugh at me

D(v) A(v) G A(v)

'Cause I'm so far even you can't see

Chorus

(Back it up, baby)

I found out, love just ain't enough

Chorus

(Back it up, baby)

I need devotion and you do too

(Back it up, now)

Come on and give it like I gave it to you

(Back it up, baby)

I know, I know you've been cheating on me

(Back it up, now)

You're going to pay for it, wait and see

(Back it up, baby)

Before I turn you loose

(Back it up, now)

You'll feel good but that ain't no excuse

(Back it up, baby)

I believe it, sure enough

(Back it up, now)

We all need devotion to back it up

(Back it up, baby)

Well, all right
