Danny Frankel - Shadowboxer lyrics

[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 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 [Instrumental break] [Verse 2] 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 [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 been swinging around me Cause I don't know when you'll make your move
