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 will 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've been swinging
All around me
'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 on to every play
I just wanted you


But, 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


You made me
A shadowboxer, baby

I wanna be ready
For what you do
I've been swinging

All around me
'Cause I don't know
When you're gonna

Make your move
