Backing Off Lyrics

Status Quo Backing Off

[Verse 1]
I got the message, I'm backing off
I got the message, so now I know
So now I know it, I'm checking out
So now I know it's the way it goes
Whenever I come near
It's oh, so crystal clear

[Chorus]
I'm backing off
I'm checking out
I'm backing off

[Verse 2]
I got the picture, I gotta go
I got the picture, it hurts me so
I gotta take it, I'm backing off
So can I make it? I gotta know
You whispered in my ear
Why don't you disappear?

[Chorus]
I'm backing off
I'm checking out
I'm backing off
I gotta go
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I got the message, I'm backing off
I got the message, so now I know
So now I know it, I'm backing off
So now I know it's the way it goes
Whenever I come near
It's oh, so crystal clear
You whispered in my ear
Why don't you disappear?

[Chorus]
I'm backing off
I'm checking out
I'm backing off
I gotta go
I gotta go
I gotta go
