Backbone Lyrics

Carsie Blanton Backbone

We all know a man can be a delicate thing
He can be soft and sweet like sugar wrapped in butter
And I don't mind your company but if you wanna make me sing
Keep in mind that I am not your mother
Show me something I can rely on
Or I would rather be alone
You give your heart but I wanna see your
Backbone
Every time you talk to me there's worry in your eyes
I wonder what on earth could you be so afraid of
I ain't gonna hurt you honey, I ain't even half your size
Step on up and show me what you're made of
Show me something I can rely on
Or I would rather be alone
You give your heart but I wanna see your
Backbone
Baby, I know what I'm lookin for
I don't wanna ask you anymore
Honey, I've already conquered all I can
I just wanna be a woman
All you gotta be's a man
This is how it's always been, and it is this way still
It isn't something we need to debate
You say you're gonna please me, but I don't see how you will
When you can't even stand up straight
Show me something I can rely on
Or I would rather be alone
You give your heart but I wanna see your
Backbone
