This song makes me sad.

I surely can relate to this.



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 hour
I wake up and I scream our your name
And I wonder why that 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)
I’ve been making love to a shadow
Shadow love is all right

Shadow lover (Shadow love, shadow love)
Shadow love is all right
Shadow lover (Shadow love, shadow love)
I’ve been holding on tight
Sitting by the telephone
Hoping that you will call me
And I won’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’ve shed
How can I blame myself on 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)
I’ve been making love to a shadow
Shadow love is all right
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 all right
Shadow lover (Shadow love, shadow love)

I’ve been making love, making love to a shadow (Shadow lover)
Sleeping in, sleeping, in, sleeping in my bed all alone at night (Shadow lover)
Making love, making love to a shadow
It’s all right
(Shadow love, shadow love, shadow love)
It’s all right (Alright)
(Shadow love, shadow love, shadow love)

I’ve been making love, oh, whoa, whoa
To a shadow
In my bed at night, all alone at night
To a shadow

I’ve been making love, oh, whoa, whoa
To a shadow
In my bed at night, all alone at night
To a shadow

I’ve been making love, oh, whoa, whoa
To a shadow
In my bed at night, all alone at night
To a shadow

And to think that Rick James wrote this. He sure knew how to write a great ballad!

I love it!

oops...I wanted to use the thumps up icon and not that one! DAMM!

I see mariah doing a cover of this on the Glitter era

One of the true hidden gems by the group.

Just beautiful.

They sung that when I saw them in concert last year.
