Standing in the Shadows of Love

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 come

I want to run but there's nowhere to go

'Cause heartaches will follow me I know

Without your love the love I need

It's the beginning of the end for me

'Cause you're taking away all my reasons for livin'

When you pushed aside all the love I been givin'

Now wait a minute

Didn't I treat you right now baby didn't I

Didn't I do the best I could now 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 my best to get ready for the heartaches to come

All alone

I'm destined to be with misery my only company

It may come today it might come tomorrow

But it's for sure I ain't got nothing but sorrow

Now don't your conscience kind of bother you

How can you watch me cry after all I done for you

Hold on a minute

Gave you all the love I had now didn't I

When you needed me I was always there now wasn't I

I'm trying hard not to cry out loud

You know crying it ain't gonna help me now

What did I do to cause all this grief

Now what'd I say to make you want to leave

Now wait a minute

Gave my heart and soul to you now didn't I

And didn't I always treat you good now didn't I

I'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 my best to get ready for the heartaches to come

Oh I'm standing in the shadows of love
