SHADOW WOMAN
(Arthur Hamilton)

as recorded by Julie London
with Russ Garcia & his Orchestra
August 1955


Shadow woman, leave my man alone,
Let "I love him" belong to me.
Haunt the other men you've known,
Set him free, set him free, set him free!

If you're thinking of his welfare say farewell,
Don't torture him with yesterglow.
Only you can break the spell,
Let him go, let him go, let him go!

Let him love me for me, the woman I am,
Instead of one I'm not.
I'm all the woman he should have,
He's all the man I've got!

When he looks at me it's you he sees,
It's you he wants to kiss, I know.
But I'm a woman too, so please
Let him go, let him go, let him go,
Shadow woman!
