Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ain't shady, baby, I'm hot
Like the prodigal son
Pick a petal, eeny, meeny, miny, moe
And flower, you're the chosen one
[Verse 2]
Well, your left hand's free
And your right's in grip
With another left hand
Watch his right hand slip
Towards his gun
Oh no
[Verse 3]
I tackle, we tussle
And oh my days, we're rolling
My right hand's gripped on his
Colt single-action army
Oh no
[Verse 4]
Well, your left hand's free
And your right's in grip
With another left hand
Watch his right hand slip
Towards his gun
Oh no
[Verse 5]
N-E-O, O-M-G, gee whiz
Girl, you're the one for me
Though your man's bigger than I am
Oh my days, he disagrees
Oh no
(Speak easy)
[Verse 6]
Well, my left hand's free
Well, my left hand's free
Well, my left hand's free
Oh no
[Verse 7]
Ain't shady, baby, I'm hot
Like the prodigal son
Pick a petal, eeny, meeny, miny, moe
And flower, you're the chosen one
[Verse 8]
Well, your left hand's free
Well, my left hand's free
Well, my left hand's free
Well, my left hand's free
Well, my left hand's free
Oh no
