The Shadow Knows Lyrics

Bwa-haa-haa

You can hide down in the alley
With your hat pulled over your eye
You can wear a wig or moustache
Or any old disguise
Well, you can change your name and your address
Even change your style of clothes
But the Shadow knows
The Shadow knows

You thought you had me baffled
You thought I didn't know
But I know where you goin', baby
Long before you go
You can't even snap your fingers
Or wiggle you toes
Without the Shadow knows
The Shadow knows

(The Shadow knows, the Shadow knows, the Shadow knows, the Shadow knows)

The Shadow knows
The Shadow knows

I say, "Baby, stop your jiving
And your messing round"
Cause I know what you're putting, baby
Long before you put it down
You better mind your p's and q's
And your m's and n's and o's
Because the Shadow knows
The Shadow knows
Bwa-haa-haa

(The Shadow knows, the Shadow knows, the Shadow knows, the Shadow knows)
FADE

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 [?]
