"The Shadow Knows" lyrics

"The Shadow Knows"
(originally by The Coasters)

(Shadow knows, shadow knows)
(Shadow knows, shadow knows)

(Shadow knows, shadow knows)
You can hide down in the alley with your hat over your eye
(Shadow knows, shadow knows)
Wear a wig or mustache or any old disguise
You can change your name and address
You can change your style of clothes
But (shadow knows) the shadow knows
(Shadow knows) the shadow knows

(Shadow knows, shadow knows)
You thought you had me hogtied, you thought I didn't know
(Shadow knows, shadow knows)
I know where you're goin', baby, long before you ever go
You can't even snap your fingers or wiggle your toes
Without the (shadow knows), the shadow knows
(Shadow knows) the shadow knows

I hear the shadow

(Shadow knows, shadow knows) the shadow knows
(Shadow knows, shadow knows)

(Shadow knows, shadow knows)
Baby, stop your jivin', stop your messin' round
(Shadow knows, shadow knows)
I know what you're putting long before you can put it down
Better mind your p's and q's, and your m's and n's and o's
(Shadow knows) 'cause the, the shadow knows
(Shadow knows) the shadow knows

(Shadow knows, shadow knows)
Walk back into your alley with your hat down over your eye
(Shadow knows, shadow knows)
Buy yourself a wig and a mustache, any old kind of disguise
Go and change your name and address
Try and change your style of clothes
But the (shadow knows), the shadow knows
(Shadow knows) the shadow knows

(Shadow knows, shadow knows)
(Shadow knows, shadow knows)
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?
(Shadow knows, shadow knows) the shadow knows
(Shadow knows, shadow knows)
(Shadow knows, shadow knows)
