[Intro]
\nOh, my, my
\n(On the sly)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nTrying to avoid
\nGetting caught
\nGetting paranoid
\nAs you ought<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nOh, my, my
\n(On the sly)
\nGonna cry
\n(Oh, my, my)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nDoing all he could
\n(Up to no good)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nOf course it’s wrong
\nStill you go on and on
\nAll that you’ve “won”
\nIs foul… said and done<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nOh, my, my
\n(On the sly)
\nGonna cry
\n(Oh, my, my)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nDoing all he could
\n(Up to no good)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nOh, my, my
\n(On the sly)
\nGonna cry
\n(Oh, my, my)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nDoing all he could
\n(Up to no good)
\nAll of his will
\n(Is evil)
\nOn the sly
\n(Till the day he dies)<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG
\n“On the sly” is an English idiom that means to do something secretly or furtively, often because it is considered wrong or should not be done, but sometimes just to keep it private. For example, someone might take a piece of candy “on the sly” to avoid getting in trouble, or a couple might meet “on the sly” if their relationship is not supposed to be known.<\/p>\n
