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 well you know, I’d be insance — |
| to ever let that dirty game recapture me You made me a shadowboxer, baby |
| I wanna be ready for what you do I been swinging all around me |
| 'Cause I don’t know when you’re |
| gonna make your move |
| Oh, your gaze is dangereous |
| 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 weary 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 been swinging all around me |
| 'Cause I don’t know when you’re |
| gonna make your move |
