Analysis of MISS SHADY, THE PARTY LADY



I don't know Miss Shady,
                                 but we know her as the party lady
I am old-fashioned and her lifestyle is way too shady
Still; she is extremely beautiful with the perfect smile
Still; she has gorgeous brown eyes
                                                       and an amazing style.

Sometimes I wonder if there is more to the party lady,
                                                                           Miss Shady
Having parties, getting drunk,
                                            and not behaving like a lady
She is way too sly to be innocent all the time
She is way too fly to be alone and celibate at bedtime.

Sometimes I wonder if there is more to the party lady,
                                                                            Miss Shady
Take her away from the party scene
And she can be quite an extroardinary lady
I don't want to change her
But there are other engagements to attend
Life is an adventure
                      with various arrangements to recommend.
