Shadowboxer

Once my lover

Now my friend

What a cruel thing

To pretend

What a cunning way

To condescend

Once my lover and

Now my friend

Oh, you creep up

Like the clouds

And you set my soul at ease

Then you let

Your love abound

And you bring me

To my knees

Oh, it's evil, babe

The way you let

Your grace enrapture me

When will you know

I'd be insane

To ever let that

Dirty game recapture me

You made me

A shadowboxer, baby

I wanna be ready

For what you do

I've been swinging

All around me

'Cause I don't know

When you're gonna

Make your move

Oh, your gaze

Is dangerous

And you fill your

Space so sweet

If I let you

Get too close

You'll set your

Spell on me

So darlin'

I just wanna say

Just in case

I don't come through

I was on to every play

I just wanted you

But, oh, it's so evil

My love

The way you've no

Reverence to my concern

So I'll be sure to

Stay wary of you, love

To save the pain of

Once my flame and

Twice my burn

You made me

A shadowboxer, baby

I wanna be ready

For what you do

I've been swinging

All around me

'Cause I don't know

When you're gonna

Make your move
