(Sha da dow sha da do oh)
(Sha da dow sha da do ow of a man)
(Sha da dow sha da do oh)
Dance in the shadow of a ma-a-a-a-a-a-a)
Standing in the shadow of another man
Lonely as the streets pass me by
Life ain't under pressure
Cuz I got a plan
Starin' at myself in the eye
When I get this feeling
I can't get enough
Cuz I start believing
And my voice gets tough
Now I got this feeling
I can't get enough
Cuz I won't be used for my love and left out to cry
I don't wanna fade into the darkness tonight
Show me the light
I don't wanna be the one to fall on the knife
To come alive
I'm about to be there
I'm about to be there
Watch me I swear
I'll dance in the shadow of a man
Hard to be the yellow in a purple sky
Peakin' through the eye of the storm
(Eye of the storm)
Gotta be the truth or you'll become a lie
(Become a lie)
Piercing like your skin from a thorn
When I get this feeling
I can't get enough
Cuz I start believing
And my voice gets tough
Now I got this feeling
I can't get enough
Cuz I won't be used for my love and left out to cry
I don't wanna fade into the darkness tonight
Show me the light
I don't wanna be the one to fall on the knife
To come alive
I'm about to be there
I'm about to be there
Watch me I swear
I'll dance in the shadow of a man
Sha da dow sha da do oh
(Shadow of a man)
Sha da dow sha da do ow of a man
Sha da dow sha da do oh
(Shadow of a man)
Dance in the shadow of a man
Can't ignore the voice within
And a woman can't lose but you still pretend
Can't ignore the voice within
And a woman can't lose but you still pretend
Can't ignore the voice within
And a woman can't lose but you still pretend
Cuz I won't be used for my love
And left out to cry!
I don't wanna fade into the darkness tonight
Show me the light
I don't wanna be the one to fall on the knife
I'm 'bout to come alive
I'm about to be there
I'm about to be there
Watch me I swear
I'll dance in the shadow of a man
Sha da dow sha da do oh
(Shadow of a man)
Sha da dow sha da do ow of a man
Sha da dow sha da do oh
(Shadow of a man)
Dance in the shadow of a man
