Standing In The Shadows Of Love

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
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 of me
'Cause you’re taking away all my reasons for living
When you pushed aside all the love I 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?
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 my best to get ready for the heartaches to come
All alone
I’m destined to be with misery my only company
May 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
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?
I’m standing here watching you go
Girl, you know that I’m gonna need you so
I’m trying hard not to cry out loud
You know crying it ain’t gonna help me now
What did I do to cause all this grief?
Now what did I say to make you want to 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?
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 my best to get ready for the heartaches to come
