THE SLY, SLICK, AND THE WICKED

The Lost Generation



Young girl, be true now (be true)

To the boy who really loves you

Don't do him wrong, 'cause he'll pick up his shoes and walk

And say it's all your fault



(Beware, young girls)

You've got to beware, baby, baby

(Beware, young girls)

Oh, you've got to (watch out)

Keep him from the hands of the wicked

You've got to (look out)

Look out, baby, baby, ah yeah

(Hold on to your one-way ticket)

'Cause true love only comes, it seems, one time

Don't miss that boat or you might be left behind

If you've got a good man and you blow his mind, baby

I'm gonna leave you with this line--and that line is



(The sly, the slick, the wicked, child)

They'll never make it, baby

(The sly, the slick, the wicked, child)

No, no, no--they all try to fake ya



'Cause the sly--he's got a fly, fly alibi

For all the unnecessary tears that a woman like you might cry

The slick--he thinks he's so, so quick

And he'll try to pull the wool over your eyes

But remember--there's one more

And he's the wicked--he shows you a good time

He's gonna gain your confidence, baby--and he'll leave you behind

Girl, remember



(The sly, the slick, the wicked, child)

They'll never make it, baby, no, no, no

(The sly, the slick, the wicked, child)

I want you to remember this song
