“Back Up Girl” (Song)

By Athena Stairs – June 12, 2026

I’ll be your back up singer

Come at beck and your call

I’ll take your mind on siesta

While I’m givin’ my all

I’ll be your bar room maiden

Pick you up when you fall

But I won’t stand by waitin’

Without gettin’ a call

And if you’re cruisin’ for a bruisin’

I’m the one they can’t beat

And if it’s romance that you’re needin’

Sweep you off of your feet

But if it’s time you’re a’ wastin’

Shakin’ white as a sheet

There’ll be no love that we’re makin’

Without heat for your feet

And when the stars are a-risin’

After daylight has set

Your keepin’ eyes on horizon

Lookin’ for that sure bet

I’m worth the risk you’ll be takin’

Bet you can’t wait n’ see

“Cause babe they’ll be no forsakin’

When you’re here next to me

So get your back up baby

Yeah get up off of that seat

I’ll be your back up baby

A life with me’s really neat

So lift your chin up honey

‘Cause I’ve got a nice treat

It’s what you’ve dreamed of darlin’

Ain’t nobody like me

I’ll get your back up baby

So get your back up baby

Yeah step on back up honey

I’ve got your clover luck love

Set aside just for you

Ain’t no one else above
