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 I been swinging around '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 onto 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 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 I been swinging around at nothin 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 around me 'cause I don't know when you're gonna make your move
