I'm like ten thousand miles from you And there's like ten thousand girls in view They're tryna save them with me Get their drink on for free Tryna get to my hotel room Back it up, back it up, back it up I ain't tryna do nothing, nah nah Back it up, back it up, back it up All I want is my woman 'Cause they don't hold a candle To you, to you You're my better handful It's true, it's true Ain't nobody taking your place You're the only body I praise They don't hold a candle Yeah, they don't hold a candle to you She got that dress on to show her curves And she came backstage to do some work I knew when she said hello She was ready to go Ran her finger 'round my shirt Back it up, back it up, back it up I ain't tryna do nothing, nah nah Back it up, back it up, back it up All I want is my woman My woman 'Cause they don't hold a candle To you, to you You're my better handful It's true, it's true Ain't nobody taking your place You're the only body I praise They don't hold a candle Yeah, they don't hold a candle to you To you 'Cause no one puts their hands on me like you Yeah, nothing ever burns like your flame That's why I ran and give you my name 'Cause they don't hold a candle No one holds a candle to you Ain't nobody taking your place You're the only body I praise 'Cause they don’t hold a candle Yeah, they don’t hold a candle to you
