Standing in the shadows of love I'm getting ready for the heartache to come Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love Tryin' my best to get ready 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 Didn't I treat you right now baby didn't I Didn't I do the best for I could now didn't I So don't 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 Tryin' my best to get ready for the heartaches to come All alone I'm destined to be With misery my only company It might come today, it 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 Givin' you all the love I had no 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 'Cause I know cryin', it ain't gonna help me now Now what did I do to cause all this grief What did 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 in the love I'm getting ready for the heartache to come Can't you see me, standing in the shadows of love Tryin' my best to get ready for the heartache to come Oh, standing in the shadows of love I'm getting ready for the heartache to come
