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 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 darling, I just wanna say
+
Just in case I don't come through
+
I was on to every play
+
I just wanted you
+
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
+
And so I'm a shadowboxer, baby
+
I wanna be ready for what you do
+
And I been swinging all 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 been swinging all around me
+
'Cause I don't know when you'll make your move
+
