HALF A DAY I’VE BEEN UP
SUN’S ALREADY GOING DOWN
YA KNOW I CAN’T TAKE IT NO MORE
DON’T WANT YOU HANG’IN AROUND

YOU GOT ME IN THIS LAKE OF SIN
AND I THINK I’M GONNA DROWN
GIVE UP HOPE, EVEN CAST IRON ROPE
COULDN’T KEEP YOU ON THE GROUND

‘CAUSE YOU’RE FLIGHTY, NAUGHTY NIGHTY
SHAKY LADY, SEXY BABY

AFTER ALL YOU CUT UP AND PASSED AROUND
I STILL WON’T PUT YOU DOWN
CHICKENED OUT, WON’T PLAY NO MORE
YOU WON’T SEE ME AROUND

IT’S OK THE WAY YOU LAY
IT WON’T BRING ME DOWN
YOU KNOW I CAN’T TAKE IT NO MORE
DON’T WANT YOU HANGIN’ AROUND

‘CAUSE YOU’RE FLIGHTY, NAUGHTY NIGHTY
SHAKY LADY, SEXY BABY

AH… YOU, YOU, YOU
HAD ME ‘ROUND YOUR LITTLE FINGER
AH… YOU, YOU, YOU
DEVIL DEAD RINGER, JUST A BEGINNER

I BEGAN TO LEARN TO SWIM
I AIN’T GONNA DROWN
YOU WON’T CHANGE YOUR WAY UNTIL THAT DAY
YOU’RE SIX FEET UNDER GROUND
GOT ME IN THIS LAKE OF SIN
I AIN’T GONNA DROWN
GIVE UP HOPE, CAST IRON ROPE
COULDN’T KEEP YOU ON THE GROUND

‘CAUSE YOU’RE FLIGHTY, NAUGHTY NIGHTY
SHAKY LADY, SEXY BABY
