I've been sleeping alone, holding close my pillow tight
Hoping that you'll come home and love me, baby, all night
And sometimes in my darkest hours I wake up and I scream out your name
And I wonder why that when I'm sleeping all alone
It's just myself who's to blame, oh baby
'Cause I've been making love to a shadow (shadow lover)
Sleeping in my bed all alone at night (shadow lover)
Making love to a shadow
Shadow love is alright
Shadow lover (shadow love, shadow love)
Shadow love is alright
Shadow lover (shadow love, shadow love)
I've been holding on tight, sitting by the telephone
Hoping that you will call me and I don't have to be alone
And in my loneliness, I linger lost and lying in my bed, I am crying
And all those wasteful tears I shed, how can I blame myself for you, for not trying?
Oh, my baby
I've been making love to a shadow (shadow lover)
Sleeping in my bed all alone at night (shadow lover)
Making love to a shadow
Shadow love is alright
Shadow lover (shadow love, shadow love)
Oh, I've been making love to a shadow (shadow lover)
Sleeping in my bed all alone at night (shadow lover)
Making love to a shadow
It's alright, shadow lover (shadow love, shadow love)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
I've been making love to a shadow (making love, making love to a shadow)
(Shadow lover)
Sleeping in my bed all alone at night (sleeping in, sleeping in my bed alone at night)
(Shadow lover)
Making love to a shadow (making love, making love to my own shadow)
It's alright (Alright)
(Shadow love, shadow love, shadow love)
It's alright (alright)
(Shadow love, shadow love, shadow love)
I've been making love (alright), oh-woah-woah
To a shadow
In my bed at night, all alone at night
To a shadow
I've been making love (alright), oh-woah-woah
To a shadow
In my bed at night, all alone at night
To a shadow
I've been making love (alright), oh-woah-woah
To a shadow
In my bed at night, all alone at night
To a shadow
I've been making love (alright), oh-woah-woah
To a shadow
