The Sly, Slick and the Wicked Lyrics by The Lost Generation

The Sly, The Slick And The Wicked

1970

[Verse 1]
Young girl, be true now (Be true)
The boy who really loves you (The boy who really, really loves you)
But don't do him wrong
'Cause he'll pick up his shoes and walk ('Cause he'll pick up his shoes and walk, na, na, na)
And say it's all your fault (And say it's all your fault)
Beware, young girl
You've got to beware, baby, baby
Beware, young girl
Oh, you've got to (Watch out, watch out, watch out)
Keep him from the hands of the wicked (Keep him from the hands of the wicked)
You've got to (Look out, look out, look out)
Look out, baby, baby, ah yeah (Hold on to your one way ticket)
'Cause true love only comes, it seems, one time
Don't miss that boat or you might be left behind
If you've got a good man and you blow his mind, baby
I'm gonna leave you with this line, and that line is (I'm gonna leave you with this line)
[Chorus]
Heh
The sly, the slick, the wicked, wicked, wicked try
They never make it, baby
No, no, no, no, they all try to fake it 'cause (The sly, the slick, the wicked, wicked, wicked try)
[Verse 2]
The sly, he's got a fly, fly, fly alibi
For all the unnecessary tears that a woman like you might cry
The slick, he thinks he's so, so quick
And he'll try to pull the wool all over your eyes
But remember, there's one more
And he's the wicked, he shows you a good time
He's gonna gain your confidence, baby
And he'll leave you behind
Girl, remember
[Chorus]
The sly, the slick, the wicked, wicked, wicked try
They never make it, baby
No, no (The sly, the slick, the wicked, wicked, wicked try)
I want you to remember the sly, the slick and the wicked-
