I'm not the type of girl who gon' mess around on ya
Give you my loving, give you my love
But you don't notice me, the spell that I'm under
Always in the background
There's always someone hanging over your shoulder
Watching you hold her, watching you hold her
And I'm always in the background

I'm tired of being in love
I'm tired of being in love
I'm tired of being in love
I'm tired of being in love
Always in the background

I'm not the type of girl who go play around on ya
Give you my loving, give you my love
When you look my way, I sit there and wonder
Sitting in the background
But you don't notice me, the spell that I'm under
Spell that I'm under
And I'm always in the background

I'm tired of being in love
I'm tired of being in love
I'm tired of being in love
I'm tired of being in love
Always in the background
Always in the background
Always in the background
I'm always in the background

Open, open, open, open, open, open up your eyes
Open, open, open, open, open, open up your eyes

I'm tired of being in love
I'm tired of being in love
I'm tired of being in love
I'm tired of being in love
Always in the background
Always in the background
Always in the background
Always in the background
I'm always in the background

Open, open, open, open, open, open up your eyes
Always in the background
Open, open, open, open, open, open up your eyes
Always in the background
