Standin' in the shadows of love
I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come
Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love
I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come
I want to run, but there's no where 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've been giving
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
Standin' in the shadows of love
I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come
Don't you see me standing in the shadows of love
Just tryin' 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 nothin' but sorrow
Now don't your conscience kind of bother you
How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you
Now, hold on a minute
Gave you all the love I had, now, didn't I?
When you needed me I was there, now, wasn't I?
(Standing in the shadows of love)
(Gettin' ready for the heartaches to come)
I'm trying hard not to cry out loud
You know cryin', 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 gettin' ready for the heartaches to come
Don't you see me standing in the shadows of love
Tryin' my best to get ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
