Better Back Off

(M. Crenshaw, T. Teeley) Now you can't always get what you want No, you can't always get what you need Sometimes you lose what you thought you had Now that's a real bad deal indeed But when you're angry at life itself Having a bad, bad day Don't judge yourself so brutally I can't stand it when you talk that way Oh baby, baby Better back off of that stuff You'd better take it slow I know you know That you're talking about someone I love Did you say what I think I heard? Did you mean what I think you said? Why don't you redirect your rage Onto someone else instead Now, we all have to walk that line Between sorrow and happiness Come over here and take my hand Won't you please give us both a rest? Oh baby, baby
