Lyrics Keb' Mo' - My Shadow

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

< instrumental >

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...
