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 just waitin' for the heartaches to come

I want to run but there's no place 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've taking away all my reason for living

When you pushed aside all the love I been giving

Now waiting me

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

Didn't I do the best for you now didn't I

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

I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

All alone I'm destined to be

With misery my only company

Might come today 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

Now 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

Standing 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 minute

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

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

So don't you see

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 the best to get ready for

The heartaches to come

So don't you I'm standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
