Las Vegas, NV

3:13 AM

Climbing out the back door, didn't leave a mark

No one knows it's you, Miss Jackson

Found another victim, but no one's gonna find

Miss Jackson, Jackson, Jackson

You put a sour little flavor in my mouth now

You move in circles hoping no one's gonna find out

But we're so lucky, kiss the ring and let 'em bow down

Looking for the time of your life

(And no one's gonna find out)

A pretty picture, but the scenery is so loud

A face like heaven, catching lighting in your nightgown

But back away from the water, babe, you might drown

The party isn't over tonight

(Lighting in your nightgown)

Hey

Where will you be waking up tomorrow morning?

Hey

Out the back door, goddamn, but I love her anyway

I love her anyway

I love her anyway

Out the back door, goddamn, but I love her anyway

Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, are you nasty?

Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, are you nasty?

Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, are you nasty?

Are you nasty? I love her anyway

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

Where will you be waking up tomorrow morning?

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

Out the back door, goddamn, but I love her any—

Way down till the fire finally dies out

You've got 'em wrapped around your finger, watch 'em fall down

There's something beautiful and tragic in the fallout

Let me say it one more time

(Tragic in the fallout)

Hey

Where will you be waking up tomorrow morning?

Hey

Out the back door, goddamn, but I love her anyway

I love her anyway

I love her anyway

Out the back door, goddamn, but I love her anyway

Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, are you nasty?

Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, are you nasty?

Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, are you nasty?

Are you nasty? I love her anyway

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

Where will you be waking up tomorrow morning?

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

Out the back door, goddamn, but I love her any—

Climbing out the back door, didn't leave a mark

No one knows it's you, Miss Jackson

Found another victim, but no one's gonna find

Miss Jackson, Jackson, Jackson

I love her anyway

Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, are you nasty?

Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, are you nasty?

Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, are you nasty?

Are you nasty? I love her anyway

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

Where will you be waking up tomorrow morning?

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

Out the back door, goddamn, but I love her anyway
