Careful of the people
You decide to go deep with
There are those you get in bed with
And those that you sleep with
I'm okay with keeping secrets
I'm okay with being naughty
I approve of indiscretions
If you know how to hide a body
So, go on
Be a bon vivant
Be as a shady as you want
Life in the shadows can be fun
So long as the work
Gets done
Hm
Hey, here's a little tip, son
A little suggestion
If you don't wanna know the answer
Don't go asking the question
Save your own skin
Before you're in too deep
The less you know
The better you'll sleep
You can strike it rich
And get off cheap
Everybody is a tiny bit shady
It's fine, it's no big deal
Everybody is a tiny bit shady
The world keeps turnin' if you grease the wheel
Promise you can have it all
Hangin' where the shadows fall
Oh, keep your head down, son
Keep stayin' in line
And everything's
Fine
We all need a distraction
We all need a hobby
We also need another exit
That doesn't go through the lobby
We enjoy a favourite cut of meat
But it's rarely ever all we eat
What comes on the side
Makes the meal
Complete
Everybody is a tiny bit shady
It's fine, it's no big deal
Everybody is a tiny bit shady
The world keeps turnin' if you grease the wheel
Promise you, you've got it made
Life is better in the shade
Oh, keep your head down, son
Keep stayin' in line
And everything's
Fine
Always have an alibi (Ooh-ooh ah-ah-ah)
And never leave a trail
You can always find a guy (Ah-ah-ah)
To catch a tiger's tail (Ah)
Pick the game, pick the players
(Watch from the stands)
Then watch from the stands
Unless you're absolutely forced
To take matters into your own hands
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
So you wanna be a little bit shady
(Shady)
Salut and c'est la vie
Go on and be a little bit shady
(Shady)
But don't you go and throw your shade on me
I won't lie in the bed I made
And watch my best plans not get laid
Time to go tell Romeo to toe the line (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Then everything's
(Fine!)
(Fine!)
(Fine!)
(Fine!)
Fine!
