[Verse 1]
Slippin’ and a-slidin’, peepin' and a-hidin'

I won't be your fool no more

[Verse 2]
Oh, big conniver, nothing but a jiver
I done got hip to your jive
Oh, big conniver, nothing but a jiver
I done got hip to your jive
Slippin’ and a-slidin’, peepin' and a-hidin'
Won't be your fool no more, ow

Oh Melinda, she's a solid sender
You know, you better surrender
Oh Melinda, she's a solid sender
You know, you better surrender
Slippin’ and a-slidin’, peepin' and a-hidin'
Won't be your fool no more
[Verse 1]
Slippin’ and a-slidin’, peepin' and a-hidin'
Been told a long time ago
Slippin’ and a-slidin’, peepin' and a-hidin'
Been told a long time ago
I been told, baby, you been bold
I won't be your fool no more, ow

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
