[Chorus] 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 [Verse] I want to 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 Because you've taken away all of my reasons for living 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, 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 come All 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 sorrow Now won't your conscience kinda 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 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 crying, it ain't going to help me none [Bridge] What did I do to cause all this grief? Now what did I say to make you want ti 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 [Chorus] [Outro] Oh, I'm standing in the shadows of love
