In every town, every neighbourhood
You'll always meet one, though you never should
He'll be your friend, he'll swear on his life
Then turn your back and in goes the knife
He'll always say he agrees with you
Nod his head at your point of view
And when you're gone he'll change your loyalties
He'll go and side with your enemies
(chorus)
'Cos he's a backstabber, there's one in every place
Backstabber, which one is your face?
Backstabber, can you hear the call?
Backstabber, that's gonna bring about your fall
Backstabber
Backstabber loves to see you fall
You have to put your back up against the wall
He'll do his best to bring you down
For two-faced lies, he's the worst around
The hatred lurks behind his eyes
But on his face is a friendly smile
One face and then two
But turn around and the knife's in you
