The Fratellis - Creepin' Up the Backstairs Lyrics

Artist: The Fratellis

Album: Miscellaneous

  • Songwriters: John Lawler

She said, ‽I am Rosie” I said, ‽I thought you were Rose”
She said, ‽No, Rosie, I told you so”
‽Was here with you sister but she was gone when I got back
I was up dancin' for fun y'know”

Of all the shitty little places I meet you it's here
And now I'm freaking out
I heard you got a brand new name selling E's in the dark
But hey it's nothing to shout about

Don't just say yes to tease me
Do your utmost to please me
I don't mean to be sleazy
But being you can't be easy

When you're creepin' up the backstairs, mother's nightmares
Falling in the front door, my my
Climbing in the window, get dressed, let's go
Take your brother's car keys, bye bye

Well I see your yellow fingers and your crucifix bones
All covered in cellophane
Was here when your best friend said
‽Sweetheart, I'm just here to get drunk again”

I wouldn't move if I was you
I wouldn't want to get caught when the lights go out
She said, ‽You're so special”
I said, "Aw, I'm just bored, I'm just checking out”

Don't just say yes to tease me
Do your utmost to please me
I don't mean to be sleazy
But being you can't be easy

When you're creepin' up the backstairs, mother's nightmares
Falling in the front door, my my
Climbing in the window, get dressed, let's go
Take your brother's car keys, bye bye

Don't just say yes to tease me
Do your utmost to please me
I don't mean to be sleazy
But being you can't be easy

When you're creepin' up the backstairs, mother's nightmares
Falling in the front door, my my
Climbing in the window, get dressed, let's go
Take your brother's car keys, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
