Slippin' and slidin', peepin' and a-hidin'

Been told along time ago

Slippin' and slidin', peepin' and a-hidin'

Been told along time ago

I been told, baby you been bold

I won't be your fool no more

Oh big conniver, nothin but a jiver

I done got hip to your jive

Oh big conniver, nothin but a jiver

I done got hip to your jive

Slippin' and slidin', peepin' and a-hidin'

I won't be your fool no more

Oh Melinda, she's a solid sender

You know you better surrender

Oh Melinda, she's a solid sinner

You know you'd better surrender

Slippin' and slidin', peepin' and a-hidin'

I won't be your fool no more

Slippin' and slidin', peepin' and a-hidin'

Been told a long time ago

Slippin' and slidin', peepin' and a-hidin'

Been told along time ago

I been told baby you been bold

I won't be your fool no more
