Shadowboxer by The Shadowboxers Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm not a lover, but I love her
Can't think of loving any other
Nobody better or above her
She got the rainbows seeking cover
I'm not player, I won't play her
My hands are closing in a prayer
That she might look at me and stare
Then could take it all from there
[Pre-Chorus]
You step up, I step back
My defense, your attack
Slip my shadow side to side
I think I'll do it all over again
My right against your left
Move that body, whip that head
Slip my shadow side to side
I think I'll do it all over again
[Chorus]
You gonna give me heart attack
Dancing all around to the moon and back
Fighting myself for a chance at you
Got me swinging at my shadow
You gonna give me heart attack
Dancing all around to the moon and back
Fighting myself for a chance at you
Got me swinging at my shadow
[Verse 2]
I'm not a caller, but I'll call her
And probably sooner than I outghta
She might be someone's famous daughter
She got a lot of eyes upon her
I'm not a beggar, but I'll beg her
I'd rather save that though for later
When she's already in my favor
You know that she'll be begging me to take her
[Pre-Chorus]
You step up, I step back
My defense, your attack
Slip my shadow side to side
I think I'll do it all over again
My right against your left
Move that body, whip that head
Slip my shadow side to side
I think I'll do it all over again
(Yeah)
[Chorus]
You gonna give me heart attack
Dancing all around to the moon and back
Fighting myself for a chance at you
Got me swinging at my shadow
You gonna give me heart attack
Dancing all around to the moon and back
Fighting myself for a chance at you
Got me swinging at my shadow
[Bridge]
Gonna make me train for this love
I can't make a mistake with this love
Baby, one false move
I might never get a chance with you
Did I fail to mention loving perfection
Ain't that easy to do?
(Yeah)
[Chorus]
You gonna give me heart attack
Dancing all around to the moon and back
Fighting myself for a chance at you
Got me swinging at my shadow
You gonna give me heart attack
Dancing all around to the moon and back
Fighting myself for a chance at you
Got me swinging at my shadow
[Outro]
You step up, I step back
My defense, your attack
Slip my shadow side to side
(Got me swinging at my shadow)
My right against your left
Move that body, whip that head
Slip my shadow side to side
(Got me swinging at my shadow)
I'm not a lover, but I love her
Can't think of loving any other
Nobody better or above her
She got the rainbows seeking cover
I'm not player, I won't play her
My hands are closing in a prayer
That she might look at me and stare
Then could take it all from there
[Pre-Chorus]
You step up, I step back
My defense, your attack
Slip my shadow side to side
I think I'll do it all over again
My right against your left
Move that body, whip that head
Slip my shadow side to side
I think I'll do it all over again
[Chorus]
You gonna give me heart attack
Dancing all around to the moon and back
Fighting myself for a chance at you
Got me swinging at my shadow
You gonna give me heart attack
Dancing all around to the moon and back
Fighting myself for a chance at you
Got me swinging at my shadow
[Verse 2]
