Shadowboxer (iTunes Originals Version)

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

You made me a shadowboxer, baby

I wanna be ready for what you do

I've been swinging around me

'Cause I don't know when you're gonna make your move

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

So, darlin', I just want to say

Just in case I don't come through

I was on to every play

I just wanted you

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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 gonna 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'll make your move
