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
