My Shadow - Keb' Mo'

We used to be close

Always together

We loved the sunshine

We were real good friends

Then came you

A beautiful distraction

And a wonderful relationship

Came to an end

Whatever you did

The damage is done

You did something

That nothing and no one else could do

It used to be me

And my shadow

But now my shadow

Is following you

Following you

It’s a mystery

It don’t make sense

How can a shadow

Be taken away

But I must admit

If I were my shadow

Nothin' in this world

Could make me stay

Whatever you did

The deed is done

He did something

I didn’t have the nerve to do

It used to be me

And my shadow

But now, my shadow

Is following you, running after you

I’m out in the sunshine

Feeling all alone

And I hope my shadow

Will soon come home

Whatever you did

The deed is done

He did something

I didn’t have the nerve to do

It used to be me

Me and my shadow

But now, my shadow, oh yeah

It used to be me

And my shadow

But now, my shadow

Is following you, is following you

Yeah yeah following

Oh following you

Oh my my my my my my my

My shadow
