Young girl, be true now (be true)
To the boy who really loves you (the boy who really, really loves you)
Don't do him wrong, 'cause he'll pick up his shoes and walk (na, na, na)
And say it's all your fault
(Beware young girl) You've got to beware, baby, baby
(Beware young girl) Oh, you've got to (watch out)
Keep him from the hands of the wicked
(Keep him from the hands of the wicked) You've got to
(Look out) Baby, baby, ah yeah
(Or 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) I'm gonna leave you with this line and that line is
(The sly, the slick, the wicked each other)
They'll never make it, baby
No, no, no (The sly, the slick, the wicked each other)
They all try to fake it
'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 each other)
They'll never make it, baby, no, no, no
(The sly, the slick, the wicked each other)
I want you to remember this song
