Lyrics

[Chorus]
Backfield in motion, yeah
I'm gonna have to penalize you, yoo-hoo
Backfield in motion, baby
You know that's against the rules, huh
Offside and holdin', yeah
You oughta be ashame' of yourself, baby
Offside and holdin', yeah
Holdin' on to someone else
[Verse 1]
You know you're cheatin', baby
Fakin' the bout
You know you're balkin', baby (Oh yeah)
Strike three, you're out
[Chorus]
And I caught you with your
Backfield in motion, yeah
I'm gonna have to penalize you, yoo-hoo
Backfield in motion, baby
You know that's against the rules
[Verse 2]
First down, you start cheatin' on me
Second down, I was too blind to see
Third down, you know I love you so
Fourth down, baby, I got to let you go
[Chorus]
'Cause I caught you with your
Backfield in motion, yeah
I'm gonna have to penalize you, yoo-hoo
Backfield in motion, baby
You know that's against the rules
[Verse 3]
Now you will see (Oh yeah)
Just how I felt, you better believe it, baby
You beat me to the punch, honey
But you hit me below the belt
[Chorus]
And I caught you with your
Backfield in motion, yeah
I'm gonna have to penalize you, yoo-hoo
Backfield in motion, baby
You know that's against the rules
[Outro]
Backfield in motion (Offside and holdin')
Backfield in motion (Double dribble, baby)
Backfield in motion (Woo, clippin', honey)
