Once my lover now my friend

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

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

You made me a shadowboxer baby
I wanna be ready for what you do
I been swinging around me 'cause I don't know when you're gonna 
make your move

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 wanto 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 wary of you,love,to save the pain of 
once my flame and twice my burn

For I'm a shadowboxer baby
I wanna be ready for what you do
And I'll be swinging around 'cause I don't know when you're gonna 
make your move
