Lyrics The O’Jays – Shiftless, Shady, Jealous Kind Of People

They’re sly,
?, they’re mean
Meanest people you’d ever see
They’re in every corner of the world

They’re cruel and shrewd in their slide
On these times they take you for a ride
They get you and they gonna
And do what they wanna to your mind, to your mind
Better watch out for

Shiftless, shady, jealous kind of people
Watch out, watch out
Shiftless, shady, jealous kind of people
Watch out, watch out

They can’t stand to see no one else
Keeping their business to themselves
Our miseries
?
They’re cold and
?
Don’t wanna see you getting nowhere
Be it riches or fame, so hear what i’m saying
Stay away, stay away from

Shiftless, shady, jealous kind of people
Watch out, watch out
Shiftless, shady, jealous kind of people
Watch out, watch out

Said you better watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out
Said you better watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out for

Shiftless, shady, jealous kind of people
