Lyrics
Shady lady
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Run your fingers through my hair, sweet darling
Run your fingers through my hair
I want you when you're never there, sweet darling
Need you but I could not care
You got long black hair on your legs and I like them smooth
You don't show me you care, you won't even move
That's why I call you shady lady
I wish I hadn't turned my head that morning
Wish I hadn't turned my head
Or listened to the things you said that morning
Listened to the things you said
I get away where nobody goes and she finds me there
She won't leave me alone, she don't even care
That's why I call her a shady lady, shady lady
They say, I say you gotta lay it down on the line
So get away, way I say if you're only playing with my time
I gotta keep you off of my back 'cos you're making me feel so bad
I gotta get along, get along, get along without you now
Run your fingers through my hair, sweet darling
Run your fingers through my hair
I want you when you're never there, sweet darling
Need you but I could not care
I get away where nobody goes and she finds me there
She won't leave me alone, she won't even care
That's why I call her a shady lady, shady lady
I gotta get along, get along, get along without you now
I gotta get along, get along, get along without you now
I gotta get along, get along, get along without you now
