Woman Is Like a Shadow

Man, if you run down your shadow now

You can never catch it

Man, if you run down your shadow now

You can never catch it

I said, a woman is like a shadow

And a man like an arrow

A woman is like a shadow

And a man like an arrow

So never let a woman know how much you love

'Cause there won't be no peace in your life

Man, I say!

Never let a woman know how much you care

'Cause they will do things to hurt you

And it's no joke about it

I say, to do what you can for them, but not too much

'Cause they will hurt you

Give when you can afford, but don't give much

'Cause they will hurt you

Listen when I say to you

And no joke about it

Easy come, easy go

If you run, run down your shadow

You can never catch it

If you run, run down your shadow

You can never catch it

So never let a woman know how much you love

'Cause there won't be no peace in your life

Man, I say!

Never let a woman know how much you care

'Cause they will do things to hurt you

And it's no joke about it

I say, to do what you can for them, but not too much

'Cause they will hurt you

Give what you can afford, but don't give much

'Cause they will hurt you

'Cause woman is like a shadow

And a man like an arrow

A woman is like a shadow

And a man like an arrow

Woman! (Woman is like a shadow)

You're my shadow (man is like an arrow)

Listen when I say to you (woman is like a shadow)

And no joke about it (man is like an arrow)

You gotta understand (woman is like a shadow)
