O-Town - Shady Business Lyrics






Oh, you you you you're so cold
You keep running your mouth while you're running around
When you don't know what I'm all about
Oh yeah, go ahead, take your aim
I'm just gonna sit back and watch the bullets fly
They just passed me by, yeah it's all the same

You're a shadow waiting for the dark
So they won't see your face
Oh but I'm gonna turn that light on
Shine you right back to your place

It doesn't matter what you're trying to do
It doesn't matter what you're trying to prove
You can lie, you can fight it as hard as you like
But we all know it's shady business
I ain't trying to hear another word
Trying to tell me what you think I'm worth
You can lie, you can fight it as hard as you like
But we all know it's shady, all know it's shady business

Oh, don't you get cold at night?
Don't you get tired of being alone?
No one picks up the phone 'cause you know it's gonna be a fight
You ever gonna change your ways?
Ever gonna see the pain that you caused and the love that you lost?
I'll be prayin' maybe one day

You're so hollow, building up those walls
You're stuck on the other side
Oh but I can see right through you
And there ain't no where left to hide

It doesn't matter what you're trying to do
It doesn't matter what you're trying to prove
You can lie, you can fight it as hard as you like
But we all know it's shady business
I ain't trying to hear another word
Trying to tell me what you think I'm worth
You can lie, you can fight it as hard as you like
But we all know it's shady, all know it's shady business
All know it's shady business
All know it's shady business, yeah

Remember, you don't wanna fuck with shady 'cause shady will fucking kill you
I don't wanna deal with anybody that reminds me of you
You should be ashamed the way you played the game
Thinkin' fame was enough for us to think we gettin' paid
But hey I guess this is our thank you so thank you for doin' wrong
We'd have never hit rock bottom if you'd never came along
If you had only played it smart instead of dumb you could've won
Rest in peace to shady business. Adios, your time is done

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, yeah
It doesn't matter what you're trying to do
Doesn't matter what you're trying to prove
You can lie, you can fight it as hard as you like
But we all know

It doesn't matter what you're trying to do
It doesn't matter what you're trying to prove
You can lie, you can fight it as hard as you like
But we all know it's shady business
I ain't trying to hear another word
Trying to tell me what you think I'm worth
You can lie, you can fight it as hard as you like
But we all know it's shady, all know it's shady business

Woohoo, woohoo, woohoo
We all know it's shady business
Woohoo, woohoo, woohoo
We all know it's shady, all know it's shady business

    "Shady Business" is in reference to O-Town's creator, Lou Pearlman......who robbed them, BSB and so many other bands of money that was rightfully theirs. Justice was served when he passed away in prison
