Shady Sadie
Yukka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And our house is now surrounded by a group of men
That claim that you've been bad
So you look away and quickly put your hands into the air
It's not because they tell you
But to hide your eyes with hair
I thought you were the fuzzy kind but I was not aware
It doesn't mean they are not there
You told me several times, well, tell me again cuz
Baby, I believe you're lying
Cuz when I come home earlier than expected
I see a strangers' car outside
So you look away and quickly put your hands into the air
It's not because they tell you
But to hide your eyes with hair
I thought you were the fuzzy kind but I was not aware
That when I do not look for things
It doesn't mean they are not there
Shady Sadie don't you cry
Now it's time to hear your side
Tell me where you were last night
Do you have an alibi?

Line by Line Meaning
A fuzzy voice tells you to step outside with your hands above your head
You hear a distorted voice ordering you to leave the house with your hands up
And our house is now surrounded by a group of men
Your home is encircled by a crew of men
That claim that you've been bad
The men assert that you have done something wrong
So you look away and quickly put your hands into the air
You avert your gaze and raise your hands in compliance
It's not because they tell you
You don't raise your hands just because they say so
But to hide your eyes with hair
You conceal your eyes with your hair
I thought you were the fuzzy kind but I was not aware
I assumed that you were an informal type, but I was mistaken
That when I do not look for things
When I'm not searching for something
It doesn't mean they are not there
It doesn't indicate that they are absent
You told me several times, well, tell me again cuz
You made the same statement to me multiple times, so please do it once more
Baby, I believe you're lying
My dear, I think you are not telling the truth
Cuz when I come home earlier than expected
Because when I arrive home sooner than anticipated
I see a strangers' car outside
I observe a car belonging to a stranger parked there
Shady Sadie don't you cry
Don't weep, Shady Sadie
Now it's time to hear your side
It's now your turn to tell your version
Tell me where you were last night
Inform me of your whereabouts yesterday evening
Do you have an alibi?
Can you provide an alibi?
