Lyrics

[00:15.00] Once my lover, now my friend
[00:22.00] What a cruel thing to pretend
[00:28.00] What a cunning way to condescend
[00:34.00] Once my lover, and now my friend
[00:43.00] Oh, you creep up like the clouds
[00:49.00] And you set my soul at ease
[00:56.00] Then you let your love abound
[01:00.00] And you bring me to my knees
[01:11.00] Oh, its evil, babe, the way you let your
[01:17.00] grace enrapture me
[01:22.00] When well you know, I'd be insane
[01:29.00] to ever let that dirty game recapture me
[01:39.00] You made me a shadowboxer, baby
[01:45.00] I wanna be ready for what you do
[01:53.00] I been swinging all around me
[01:58.00] 'Cause I don't know when you're
[01:59.00] gonna make your move
[02:22.00] Oh, your gaze is dangerous
[02:28.00] And you fill your space so sweet
[02:34.00] If I let you get too close
[02:39.00] You'll set your spell on me
[02:47.00] So darlin' I just wanna say
[02:53.00] Just in case I don't come through
[03:00.00] I was on to every play
[03:05.00] I just wanted you
[03:14.00] But, oh, it's so evil, my love, the way you've
[03:19.00] no reverence to my concern
[03:25.00] So I'll be sure to stay wary of you, love,
[03:31.00] to save the pain of
[03:34.00] Once my flame and twice my burn
[03:43.00] You made me a shadowboxer, baby
[03:48.00] I wanna be ready for what you do
[03:55.00] I been swinging all around me
[04:01.00] 'Cause I don't know when you're
[04:02.00] gonna make your move
