Stand Back Lyrics - Singles - Stephanie Mills

When I first met you, baby 

You were like a star in my night 

Reaching down to rescue me 

You took me on a flight 

Then you tried to put your change on me 

Tellin' me what I shouldn't do 

Shadowing my every move 

I can't escape from you 

Stand back 

Give me room to move in 

If you want my time 

Ooh, you better stand back 

Better keep your distance 

Can you read my mind' 

Treat me like a lady is 

But don't you cramp my style 

I've got to live my own life too 

To make it worth my while 

When I step out in the evening 

I can't tell you when I'll return 

I'm the pilot of my destiny 

It's something you've got to know 

So stand back 

Give me room to move in 

If you want my time 

Ooh, you better stand back 

Better keep your distance 

Can you read my mind' 

I'm not saying, I don't need your love 

Keep me satisfied, yeah 

I'm just like any other girl 

I can share my heart only if you treat me right 

Whoa, oh, yeah 

My love, ooh 

Oh, oh, oh 

Stand back 

Give me room to move in 

If you want my time 

You better stand back 

Oh, better keep your distance 

Can you read my mind, ooh 

(Stand back) 

Give me room to move in, oh, oh, 

If you want my time, oh, oh, oh, oh 

(Stand back) 

Better keep your distance 

Can you read my mind' Ooh, ooh, oh 

Why don't you 

(Stand back) 

Give me room to move in 

If you want my time, oh, oh, oh 

(Stand back) 

Better keep your distance, oh 

Can you read my mind, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

(Stand back) 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh 

(Stand back) 

Ooh, ho, oh 

(Stand back) 

Oh, ooh, oh, ooh 

(Stand back) 

Ooh, ooh, oh, hoo 

(Stand back) 

Oh, hoo, hoo, oh, oh, ooh, ooh 

(Stand back) 

Oh, ho, hoo, oh, ho, hoo 

(Stand back) 

Oh, ho, ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, oh, ooh 

(Stand back) 

Oh, oh, oh, ooh, ooh, oh 

Why don't you stand back
