D#m
Baby, I'm on the hunt
Baby, I've got my target on you
Trouble, that's what I want
And I'm gonna do just what I have to
Get your ass down to the front
Go on and roll it out, I dare you
Sorry, I'm kinda drunk
But did you just say your game was brand new?

No, I ain't broken, but I, I need a fix
That satisfaction when I, I get my kicks
   A#m
I'm up all night
I'm outta sight
Don't turn on the light
                           D#m
'Cuz I'm feelin' so shady lately

Chorus:
             D#m
Come on and take me underground
C#              G#/C
Deep under the street
             D#m
Come on and take me, take me down
        C#               G#/C
Where freaks like us can meet
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, turn it way up
Don't stop the beat
Come on and turn me, turn me out
'Cuz I'm feeling so shady lately

Ah! Ah!
Gonna go and get me a shot
Gonna knock it back forget all my blues
Yeah, that really hits the spot
I'm feeling pretty fierce in my dancing shoes (Yeah)

No, I ain't broken, but I, I need a fix
That satisfaction when I, I get my kicks
I'm up all night
I'm out of sight
Don't turn on the light
Cause I'm feeling so shady lately

Chorus:
Come on and take me underground
Deep under the street
Come on and take me, take me down
The freaks like us can meet
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, turn it way up
Don't stop the beat
Come on and turn me, turn me out
'Cause I'm feeling so shady lately

I throw more shade than a cloudy day
The brakes don't work, I'm just a runaway train
Somebody come and help me out,
all I wanna be is free
I was trying to get down, now I can't get out
I'm shady lately

Chorus:
Come on and take me underground
Deep under the street
Come on and take me, take me down
The freaks like us can meet
Turn it up, turn it up,
turn it up, turn it way up
Don't stop the beat
Come on and turn me, turn me out
'Cause I'm feeling so shady lately

(Shady lately, that's how I play
They say maybe it's just a phase
Shady lately, runaway train
Blame the game, quit blaming the gays)


'Cause I'm feeling so shady lately
