The Spinners

[Verse 1]
Don't ever let what people say
Creep into your heart
Pain will only start, no matter what we do
When clouds are grey, they only shade
Brighter things to come
But inside you shine in every way

[Chorus]
So, ohoo, ohoo, ohoo, ohoo
I'm riding your shadow down to love
I'm just a thought away
Turtle doves have shown the way
Leading straight to you, to you

[Verse 2]
With jealous lies you can't decide
If the truth is said
So you move ahead without a light to see
You cause the pain but love remains to be with your heart
So you fake the part of someone nеw

[Chorus]
New, weoo, weoo, wеoo, weoo
I'm riding your shadow down to love
Life is too short to play
What will be can be today
If we want it to, we want it to be

[Outro]
So, ohoo, ohoo, ohoo, ohoo
I'm riding your shadow down to love
Life is too short to play
So, ohoo, ohoo
I'm riding your shadow down to love
So, ohoo, ohoo
I'm riding your shadow down to love
So, ohoo, ohoo
I'm riding your shadow down to love
So, ohoo, ohoo
I'm riding your shadow down to love
So, ohoo, ohoo
I'm riding your shadow down to love
So, ohoo, ohoo...
