Standing in the shadows of love
Waitin` for the heartaches to come
Can`t you see me standing in the shadows of love
I getting ready for the heartaches to come
I`d 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 me reasons for livin
When you pushed aside all the love I`ve been givin
Now wait a minute
Didn`t I teach you right didn`t I
Didn`t I do the best I could didn`t I
So don`t you leave me standin` in the shadow of love
I`m gettin` ready for the heartaches to come
Don`t you see me standing in the shadow of love
Just tryin` my best to get ready for the heartaches to come
All alone I`ll desperately be
With misery my only company
Come today in fact come tomorrow
Sorrow I ain`t got nothin` but sorrow
Don`t your conscience 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 didn`t I
When you needed me I was there now wasn`t I
Standing in the shadows of love
Gettin` ready for the heartaches to come
I`ve tried not to cry out loud
No gal you ain`t gonna help me now
What did I do to cause all this grief
Now what`d I say to make you want to leave
Now wait a minute
I gave my heart and soul to you didn`t I
Now din`t I always treat you good didn`t I
I`m Standing in the shadows of love
I`m gettin` ready for the heartaches to come
Hope to see you standing in the shadows of love
Tryin` my best to get ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows offade
