Am I Just A Shadow by Thornetta Davis Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You take me in
Keep me from the rest
You lock me away inside your walls of indecision
I don't know why you feel the need
To cut my heart and watch it bleed
Is that your way to make me pay for her deceptions
[Chorus]
Do you really know me?
Or, am I just a shadow?
(Just a shadow)
Of someone who reminds you of that someone not to love
(Not to love)
[Verse 2]
Vengeance is mine, you say to your heart
Why do you chose to take it all out on me?
You call me a liar when I speak a truth (Call me a liar when I speak a truth)
You call out her name when I’m here with you (Call out her name when I'm here with you)
But, I'm not the one who left your heart in misery
[Chorus]
Do you really know me?
Or, am I just a shadow?
(Just a shadow)
Of someone who reminds you of that someone not to love
(Not to love)
Do you really know me?
Or, am I just a shadow?
(Do you really, do you really know me, baby?)
Am I, am I just a shadow?
(Do you really, do you really know me, baby?)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I know your pain and, I felt it too
Your spirit is broken by the things she put you through
But, didn’t I show you how it could be? (Didn't I show you how it could be?)
Or, are you afraid to give love to me? (Are you afraid to give love to me?)
Then, tell me to go and I won't regret my time with you
[Outro]
Do you really know me?
Or, am I just a shadow?
(Just a shadow)
Of someone who reminds you of that someone not to love
(Not to love)
Oh, naw, naw, naw
Do you really know me?
Or, am I just a shadow?
(Do you really, do you really know me, baby?)
Am I, am I just a shadow?
(Do you really, do you really know me, baby?)
Do you know me, or am I just a shadow?
(Do you really, do you really know me, baby?)
Am I, am I just a shadow?
(Do you really, do you really know me, baby?)
Do you know me, do you know me, baby?
(Do you really, do you really know me, baby?)
Aw yeah, do you know me, do you know me, baby?
(Do you really, do you really know me, baby?)
Hey, am I, am I just a shadow?
(Do you really, do you really know me, baby?)
Am I, am I just a shadow?
You take me in
Keep me from the rest
You lock me away inside your walls of indecision
I don't know why you feel the need
To cut my heart and watch it bleed
Is that your way to make me pay for her deceptions
[Chorus]
Do you really know me?
Or, am I just a shadow?
(Just a shadow)
Of someone who reminds you of that someone not to love
(Not to love)
[Verse 2]
Vengeance is mine, you say to your heart
Why do you chose to take it all out on me?
You call me a liar when I speak a truth (Call me a liar when I speak a truth)
You call out her name when I’m here with you (Call out her name when I'm here with you)
But, I'm not the one who left your heart in misery
[Chorus]
Do you really know me?
Or, am I just a shadow?
(Just a shadow)
Of someone who reminds you of that someone not to love
(Not to love)
Do you really know me?
Or, am I just a shadow?
(Do you really, do you really know me, baby?)
Am I, am I just a shadow?
(Do you really, do you really know me, baby?)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I know your pain and, I felt it too
Your spirit is broken by the things she put you through
But, didn’t I show you how it could be? (Didn't I show you how it could be?)

Of someone who reminds you of that someone not to love

Do you really know me?
Or, am I just a shadow?
(Do you really, do you really know me, baby?)
Am I, am I just a shadow?
(Do you really, do you really know me, baby?)
Do you know me, or am I just a shadow?
(Do you really, do you really know me, baby?)
Am I, am I just a shadow?
(Do you really, do you really know me, baby?)
Do you know me, do you know me, baby?
(Do you really, do you really know me, baby?)
Aw yeah, do you know me, do you know me, baby?
(Do you really, do you really know me, baby?)
Hey, am I, am I just a shadow?
(Do you really, do you really know me, baby?)
Am I, am I just a shadow?
