Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to comeI wanna run but there's no way to go
'Cause heartaches will follow me I know
Without your love, a love I need
It's the beginning of the end for me'Cuz you've taken away all of my reasons for living
When you pushed aside all the love I've been giving
Now wait a minuteDidn't I treat you right, now baby didn't I
Didn't I do the best I could, now didn't I, didn't I?
So don't you leave me standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Don't you see me standing in the shadows of love
Trying the best to get ready for the heartaches to comeAll alone I'm destined to be
With misery my only company
It may come today, and it might come tomorrow
But it's for sure I've ain't got nothing but sorrowNow won't your conscience kinda bother you
How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you?
Now hold on a minuteGave you all the love I had, now didn't I
When you needed me I was always there, now wasn't IStanding in the shadows of love
Getting ready for the heartaches to come
I'm trying not to cry out loud
You know cryin', it ain't gonna help me none
What did I do to cause all this grief?
Now what did I say to make you wanna leave?
Now wait a minuteI gave my heart and soul to you now didn't I
And didn't I always treat you good now didn't II'm standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Don't you see me standing in the shadows of love
Trying the best to get ready for the heartaches to comeOh, I'm standing in the shadows of love
