I was walking down the street last night
Saw this girl, out of the corner of my eye
She looked at me and she turned away
I couldn't think of nothing to say
I followed her around the bend
Down the pathway in the city where I live
She disappeared without a trace
And all I've got is a picture of her face
I'm going insane, what was her name?
All I feel in my soul is pain
And don't ya need her so bad, it's making me mad
Shadow of a woman
Last night I could not sleep
Shadow woman just would not leave
So I got up out of bed
To get that woman out of my shed
Then I prayed to the mornin' stars
Even though I don't know what they are
Said "Baby, help me baby, help me"
She said "Maybe..."
I'm going insane, what was her name?
All I feel in my soul is pain
Now don't ya need her so bad, it's making me mad
Shadow of a woman
Aah
Aah
I still see her, I still hear her
And she still turns her back away
I still smell her, I still taste her
And she still turns her back away
Ooh
I'm going insane, what was her name?
All I feel in my soul is pain
Now don't ya need her so bad, it's making me mad
Shadow of a woman
Shadow woman
