I've been sleeping alone, holding close my pillow tight

Hoping that you'll come home and love me, baby, all night

And sometimes in my darkest hours I wake up and I scream out your name

And I wonder why that when I'm sleeping all alone

It's just myself who's to blame, oh baby

'Cause I've been making love to a shadow (shadow lover)

Sleeping in my bed all alone at night (shadow lover)

Making love to a shadow

Shadow love is alright

Shadow lover (shadow love, shadow love)

Shadow love is alright

Shadow lover (shadow love, shadow love)

I've been holding on tight, sitting by the telephone

Hoping that you will call me and I don't have to be alone

And in my loneliness, I linger lost and lying in my bed, I am crying

And all those wasteful tears I shed, how can I blame myself for you, for not trying?

Oh, my baby

I've been making love to a shadow (shadow lover)

Sleeping in my bed all alone at night (shadow lover)

Making love to a shadow

Shadow love is alright

Shadow lover (shadow love, shadow love)

Oh, I've been making love to a shadow (shadow lover)

Sleeping in my bed all alone at night (shadow lover)

Making love to a shadow

It's alright, shadow lover (shadow love, shadow love)

Oh-oh, oh-oh

I've been making love to a shadow (making love, making love to a shadow)

(Shadow lover)

Sleeping in my bed all alone at night (sleeping in, sleeping in my bed alone at night)

(Shadow lover)

Making love to a shadow (making love, making love to my own shadow)

It's alright (Alright)

(Shadow love, shadow love, shadow love)

It's alright (alright)

(Shadow love, shadow love, shadow love)

I've been making love (alright), oh-woah-woah

To a shadow

In my bed at night, all alone at night

To a shadow

I've been making love (alright), oh-woah-woah

To a shadow

In my bed at night, all alone at night

To a shadow

I've been making love (alright), oh-woah-woah

To a shadow

In my bed at night, all alone at night

To a shadow

I've been making love (alright), oh-woah-woah

To a shadow
