Don't run after shadow let shadow run after you

Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you. ...
I wear my shadows where they're harder to see, but they follow me everywhere.

Your reputation is like a shadow,
following you wherever you go.
You can't disguise it,
you can't hide from it, and you certainly can't run more than you shadow..

Man if you run down your shadow now.
You can never catch it ...
is like a shadow.
And man like an arrow.
So never let a woman know how much you love.

You can't run from the shadow. But you can invite it do dance.
