Midnight Shadow
She’s a midnight shadow, she got a green gleam in her eye
She’s a midnight shadow, she got that green gleam in her eye
She’ll make you love her, an’ leave you wonderin’ why
She’s a voodoo chil’ an’ she’ll bring you strange things to eat
She’s a chil’ o’ the voodoo an she’ll bring you good things to eat
Fat nightcrawlers an’ birdies still got they feet
You can look straight at her, an’ still don’t know that she’s there
You can look straight at her, but you won’t know that she’s there
She’s a midnight shadow an’ that’s the only color she wears
She got the devil inside her, she got that moon in her eye
Lord she’s a friend o’ the devil, got that moon in her eye
Say she love you, same time she’s sayin’ good bye
You can lay down lonely, wake up an’ she’s in your bed
You can lay down lonely, wake up an’ she’s in the bed
It must be midnight, she come to play with your head
She’ll purr like a kitten, growl like a grizzly bear
She’ll purr like a kitten, she growl like a grizzly bear
She say come an’ get her, but the midnight shadow ain’t there
You cain’t see her comin’, cain’t see her goin’ away
Cain’t see her comin’, cain’t see her movin’ away
You can feel her wantin’, you cain’t see her wantin’ to stay
She don’t like walkin’, she don’t like takin’ the bus
She don’t do walkin’ an’ she don’t do takin’ the bus
You can give her a Caddy, she still be makin’ a fuss
Doctor, doctor, come tell me what should I do
Come he’p me doctor, I think she done give me the flu
He say the midnight shadow done give you a case o’ the blues.
