Man I'm getting tired of this
Everywhere I turn
Somebody's dipping in my business
They don't even know the flavor
Y'all know what I mean?
They always criticize
Telling me I need to change
Just because they don't like what I like
Y'all know what I mean?
But still the very next day
Some of the same people calls me
And says "Marvin, you have any spare change?"
Y'all know what I mean?
You see I found out something about those people
Y'all listen to me good
Oooh
They don't believe in me
But I believe in myself
They only wanna use me
Ha
And throw me away (Throw me away)
They don't mean me no good no no
They're triyng to bring me down
But I'm not gonna let it happen
No
Cause I know who they are
Mr. and Mrs. DJ
Will you play this song for me?
Help me tell these people
To stay away from me
Oh ditch diggers (Ditch diggers)
That's what they are
Backstabbers (Backstabbers)
I did them no wrong (Ditch diggers)
But they wanna hurt me (Backstabbers)
Listen please
I don't know why
They wanna hurt me
I did them no wrong no wrong
No I got to say so long (So long)
But my momma always told me
Be careful who I call a friend
I think I got a few cases
Of plain jealousy (Jealousy)
Mr. and Mrs. DJ
Will you play this song for me?
Help me tell these people
To stay away from me
Oh ditch diggers (Ditch diggers)
They ain't nothing but backstabbers (Backstabbers)

Tell me why you wanna hurt me (Backstabbers)
Listen please
Huh

I'm gon' see the judge
And when I talk to him
I'm gon' plead my case
You see I don't need no lawyer
Aw cause I trust the judge

And I'm gonna ask him
For an order of protection
To keep all of y'all (Backstabbers)
Aw away from me
And then I'm gon' tell him
How good I been to y'all
And y'all used and abused me
And I'm gon' ask the judge
To make all of y'all (Backstabbers)
Tell me the truth ha
And from now on

Oh ditch diggers (Ditch diggers)
