Uriah Heep - Shady Lady

Out from st. louis
I wasnt choosy
I just wanted to get
Back on the road
I hitched in cars
And worked in bars
Lookin for a place
To lay down my load

I met a lady, a shady lady
And someone told her
I was all on my own
She poured a beer
And said when Im finished here
Hang around cause
Im taking you home

Dont worry
Ill treat you all right
Dont worry
You can stay all night
I thought it was any easy ride
But I didnt know where
I was until I got inside

She said, ok sonny
Give me your money
And dont start any foolin around
I said what, I said what
Dont you think youre
Turning me upside down

She said, I dont care
Ive been everywhere
And Ive not been looking for you
But Ill take you in
And give you a spin Youll know some tricks
By the time we get through

Shady lady
You want it all your own way
Shady lady
You wont let go of your prey
Shady lady
Eat me up and spit me out
But lets get started now
I know what youre talking about

Now in the morning
As the day was dawning
Shady asked me if
Id stay there awhile
I said stay, baby no way
But I couldnt keep myself
From a smile

I said now no bye-byes
Go in and dry your eyes
That aint fittin
For a lady like you
Why not be smart
And give your life another start
But take care now
Whatever you do

Shady lady
Im on my way
Shady lady
Well meet again one day
And dont worry cause when we do
Im gonna make sure
That there aint
Very much left of you
