Key Eb / R&B/Rap
Spent twelve hours talking of love
Another twelve on how to love him
Spent seven days being quite smooth
Spent a quarter saying he loves me
Within twelve months same to twelve others
Will lose ten years if I don’t run
Then ten decades if I relapse
He’s not even a shadow
He’s not even a shadow
Just caricature
Just caricature
He’s not even a shadow
He’s not even a shadow

Rap:
When I met him
I never knew
He was a cartoon from the papers
Spent our meetings talking about
How to care for him, to touch him, to love him
Just himself and his good looks
I’d felt that
High self esteem
And worth isn’t bad
But he kept his money, spent my money
Just to show that I care
Prove my love for him, open handed
Trying to make it work
Chose to consider him
Never knowing I was deceiving myself
And wasting my time
Spent my absence sleezing about
Every friend of mine, anyone that cares
Super-visible, invincible
Just out to satisfy himself
Pondering then pontificate
About the misery
And mystery in this package
Could spend my whole life
Guilty and remorse
Weak to change anything
Bleak, bleating to wring
Weighted against in this ring
Wishing to relive my life
He’s not even a shadow
He’s not even a shadow
Just caricature
Just caricature
He’s not even a shadow
He’s not even a shadow

Would love to spend ten centuries
With a guy who is real
Why waste my gross with a gross
When I’ve got gross options
Would love to spend ten centuries
With a guy who is real
Why waste my gross with a gross
When I’ve got gross options
He’s not even a shadow
He’s not even a shadow
Just caricature
Just caricature
He’s not even a shadow
He’s not even a shadow
Just caricature
Just caricature
Spent sixty seconds on reminisce
Finally sixty minutes to get rid of him
