Standing In the Shadows of Love

Standing 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 wanna 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 takin' 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

Standing 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

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 kinda 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

Gettin' ready for the heartaches to come

I'm tryin' 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 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?

I'm standing 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

Oh, I'm standing in the shadows of love
