Back & Forth Lyrics

[Chorus]
It's the same old story in this tug of war
We go back and forth, we go back and forth
And it ain't good for me, what we do this for?
We go back and forth, won’t do this, no

[Post-Chorus]
Oh whoa
We go back and forth, we go back and forth
Oh whoa
We go back and forth, won’t do this, no

[Hook]
All, all we, all
All, all, always never tell if
All, all we, all
All, all, always never tell if
All, all we, all
All, all, always never tell if
All, all we, all
All, all, always never tell if

[Verse 1]
You're only nice when you wanna be
You always leave me wondering, wondering
It's not as simple as you and me
Can never tell if I'm in love with him or lost with him
[Pre-Chorus]
Tryna find an in-between, it's all, it's all or nothing
You pull me back when you feel me slip away
Deceive me with your loving

[Chorus]
It's the same old story in this tug of war
We go back and forth, we go back and forth
And it ain't good for me, what we do this for?
We go back and forth, won’t do this, no

[Post-Chorus]
Oh whoa
We go back and forth, we go back and forth
Oh whoa
We go back and forth, won’t do this, no

[Hook]
All, all we, all
All, all, always never tell if
All, all we, all
All, all, always never tell if
All, all we, all
All, all, always never tell if
All, all we, all
All, all, always never tell if
[Verse 2]
With you, there's no reasoning
I'm done with fighting all the time, all the time
I'm tryna speak, you're not listening
Closed ears with open eyes, broken minds

[Pre-Chorus]
Tryna find an in-between, it's all, it's all or nothing, oh
You pull me back when you feel me slip away
Deceive me with your loving

[Chorus]
It's the same old story in this tug of war, oh
We go back and forth, we go back and forth
And it ain't good for me, what we do this for?
We go back and forth, won’t do this, no

[Hook]
All, all we, all
All, all, always never tell if
All, all we, all
All, all, always never tell if
All, all we, all
All, all, always never tell if
All, all we, all
All, all, always never tell if
All, all we, all

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Did MNEK produce the song, just like with the previous Becky and MK collab?
Genius Answer

Yes he did! In one of his few end of year posts to say farewell to 2018 on social media, MNEK revealed a collage of cover art of some of the songs that he has contributed to over the year and it just so happens that one of them happened to be “Back & Forth”, as seen below:

It is unclear what role he participated in, but rumours are that he produced the song as he did with Becky and MK’s previous collaboration “Piece of Me”.
