Shady Lady Lyrics - Rock History's Best Of Uriah Heep - Uriah Heep

Out from St. Louis 

I wasn't 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 I'm finished here 

Hang around â??cause 

I'm taking you home 

Don't worry 

I'll treat you all right 

Don't worry 

You can stay all night 

I thought it was any easy ride 

But I didn't know where 

I was until I got inside 

She said, ok sonny 

Give me your money 

And don't start any foolin' around 

I said what, I said what 

Don't you think you're 

Turning me upside down 

She said, I don't care 

I've been everywhere 

And I've not been looking for you 

But I'll take you in 

And give you a spin 

You'll know some tricks 

By the time we get through 

Shady lady 

You want it all your own way 

Shady lady 

You won't let go of your prey 

Shady lady 

Eat me up and spit me out 

But let's get started now 

I know what you're talking about 

Now in the morning 

As the day was dawning 

Shady asked me if 

I'd stay there awhile 

I said stay, baby no way 

But I couldn't keep myself 

From a smile 

I said now no bye-bye's 

Go in and dry your eyes 

That ain't 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 

I'm on my way 

Shady lady 

We'll meet again one day 

And don't worry 'cause when we do 

I'm gonna make sure 

That there ain't 

Very much left of you
