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
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 Explain Request ×
