Standin' in the shadows
of love
I'm gettin' ready for
the heartaches to come
Can't you see me
standin' in the shadows of love
I'm gettin' ready for
the heartaches to come
I would 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've taken away
all my reasons for livin'
When you pushed aside
all the love I've 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
Standin' in the shadows
of love
I'm gettin' ready for
the heartaches to come
Don't you see me
standin' in the shadows of love
I'm tryin' my best to get ready
for the heartaches to come
All alone I just don't eat
With misery my only company
May come today
It might come tomorrow
'Cause it's for sure
I ain't got nothin' but sorrow
Now don't your conscience
kinda bother you
How can you watch me cry
After all I've done for you
Now hold a minute
Gave you all the love I had
Now didn't I
When you needed me
I was always there
So wasn't I
I'm tryin' not to cry out loud
No 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 wanna 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
Standin' in the shadows
of love
I'm gettin' ready for
the heartaches to come
Don't you see me
standin' in the shadows of love
Tryin' my best to get ready for
the heartaches to come
Oo I'm standin' in the shadows
of love
I'm gettin' ready for
the heartaches to come
Don't you see me
standin' in the shadows of love
