Shady Lady
Words and music by Bonnie Dianne James
Sung by Robin James

CHORUS:
Shady Lady, where are you tonight?
Shady Lady, holdin’ my man real tight.
How can I fight it? He’s got a roving eye.
You tried to kill it, but my love won’t die.

Let go of him; let go of us;
Let go the hold that you have on love.
I can’t compete with your allure.
What you do to him, so self-assured.

CHORUS: “Shady Lady....”

Oh, little children, it’s time to weep,
There’s a time to lose, and a time to keep.
Oh little children, it don’t look good.
There’ll be no more in the neighborhood.

CHORUS: “Shady Lady...”

(This verse omitted in this demo)
All of our dreams, right down the drain,
Like a storm at sea, looks like lots of rain,
How much longer now, do I keep holding on?
Guess he loves you more, ‘cause he’s as good as gone.

CHORUS: “Shady Lady...”
