Shadowboxer

Lyrics

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 insane
 To ever let that dirty game recapture me
 You made me a shadowboxer, baby
 I wanna be ready for what you do
 And I've been swinging 'round 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
 Oh-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
 So I'm a shadowboxer, baby
 I wanna be ready for what you do
 
 And I've been swinging around at nothing
 I don't know when you're going to make your move
 ♪
 Yeah, I'm a shadowboxer, baby
 I wanna be ready for what you do
 And I've been swinging around me
 'Cause I don't know when you're make your move
