  1. (Sha da dow sha da do oh)

  2. (Sha da dow sha da do ow of a man)

  3. (Sha da dow sha da do oh)

  4. Dance in the shadow of a ma-a-a-a-a-a-a)

  5. Standing in the shadow of another man

  6. Lonely as the streets pass me by

  7. Life ain't under pressure

  8. Cuz I got a plan

  9. Starin' at myself in the eye

  10. When I get this feeling

  11. I can't get enough

  12. Cuz I start believing

  13. And my voice gets tough

  14. Now I got this feeling

  15. I can't get enough

  16. Cuz I won't be used for my love and left out to cry

  17. I don't wanna fade into the darkness tonight

  18. Show me the light

  19. I don't wanna be the one to fall on the knife

  20. To come alive

  21. I'm about to be there

  22. I'm about to be there

  23. Watch me I swear

  24. I'll dance in the shadow of a man

  25. Hard to be the yellow in a purple sky

  26. Peakin' through the eye of the storm

  27. (Eye of the storm)

  28. Gotta be the truth or you'll become a lie

  29. (Become a lie)

  30. Piercing like your skin from a thorn

  31. When I get this feeling

  32. I can't get enough

  33. Cuz I start believing

  34. And my voice gets tough

  35. Now I got this feeling

  36. I can't get enough

  37. Cuz I won't be used for my love and left out to cry

  38. I don't wanna fade into the darkness tonight

  39. Show me the light

  40. I don't wanna be the one to fall on the knife

  41. To come alive

  42. I'm about to be there

  43. I'm about to be there

  44. Watch me I swear

  45. I'll dance in the shadow of a man

  46. Sha da dow sha da do oh

  47. (Shadow of a man)

  48. Sha da dow sha da do ow of a man

  49. Sha da dow sha da do oh

  50. (Shadow of a man)

  51. Dance in the shadow of a man

  52. Can't ignore the voice within

  53. And a woman can't lose but you still pretend

  54. Can't ignore the voice within

  55. And a woman can't lose but you still pretend

  56. Can't ignore the voice within

  57. And a woman can't lose but you still pretend

  58. Cuz I won't be used for my love

  59. And left out to cry!

  60. I don't wanna fade into the darkness tonight

  61. Show me the light

  62. I don't wanna be the one to fall on the knife

  63. I'm 'bout to come alive

  64. I'm about to be there

  65. I'm about to be there

  66. Watch me I swear

  67. I'll dance in the shadow of a man

  68. Sha da dow sha da do oh

  69. (Shadow of a man)

  70. Sha da dow sha da do ow of a man

  71. Sha da dow sha da do oh

  72. (Shadow of a man)

  73. Dance in the shadow of a man

Shadow of a Man

(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
