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, its evil, babe, the way you let your
 grace enrapture me
 When well you know, I'd be insance -
 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 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 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 weary 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 been swinging all around me
 'Cause I don't know when you're
 gonna make your move
