lyrics

VERSE 1:
I heard your band rehearsin' from my basement Sunday night
Those horns were hot that drummer smoked and you were out of sight
There's just one problem with your band one thing you ought to know
Well that frontman singin' for your band--girl, he's just got to go!

INTRO lick 2x

VERSE 2:
You say he owns the P.A. … and the rehearsal space
You say right now you can't afford to let me take his place.
That's not what I'm suggestin', not what I want to do...
I'm just sayin' when he's gone let me step in his shoes.
I'll be your backdoor frontman and I'll put on one hot private show

BRIDGE:
I've got much better hair, and I've got leather pants
And my mama says she thinks that I can really dance!
I’ll convince you all if you just give me the chance

GUITAR SOLO 1
INTRO RIFF x2

GUITAR SOLO 2
INTRO RIFF x2

VERSE 3:
Well, no I can’t really make it to a show
That don’t sound like a place where I’d like to go
We should prob’ly keep it quiet… on the old down-low
So let’s just feel each other out, girl, let’s take it slow.

INTRO RIFF x2

VERSE 4:
To be completely honest I’m kinda in another band
And I’m kinda stuck because we all chipped in for that van.
The problem is there I’m just the bass-playin’ side-man
They say I don’t sing as good as the guitar player can
But I’ll be YOUR backdoor frontman and I’ll put one hot private show.

(SPOKEN):
If we go slow...
You can help me out a little bit
Maybe change the key on a few numbers
Or, ya know, maybe I should just go…
We’ll be in touch.
Alright!
